Notes

  1. 1.

    It is the term used by Orléan (2011, pp. 96, 97).

  2. 2.

    In regard to the concept of mainstream implosion, and to the epistemological implications of Coase and Williamson’s results, see Herscovici (2015).

  3. 3.

    Stiglitz (2003, p. 13) considers the principles of neoclassical economics to include “the law of the single price.”
