| Sumario: | The Foundation of Paul Samuelson's Revealed Preference Theory was originally published over two decades ago and is widely viewed as a classic within the philosophy of economics and a tour de force against revealed preference. The book critically examined the research programme carried out by the Nobel Prize winner Paul Samuelson on the revealed preference approach to the theory of consumer behavior as well as challenging two essential premises; firstly that the programme has been completed and secondly that the various contributions of Samuelson are mutually consistent.This text contains a new preface by Wong, in which he provides a detailed insight into the origins of his pioneering text, and a new introduction from Philip Mirowski, analyzing the impact The foundation of Paul Samuelson's Revealed preference Theory has had on the discipline of economics as well as explaining why it remains core reading for economists today.
