Is or has economics ever been the imperial social science? Could or should it ever be so? This book deals with these questions. It addresses the shifting boundaries between economics and other social sciences as seen from the confines of the dismal science, with some reflection on the responses to the economic imperialists by other disciplines.

Argues that economics has become a monolithic science, variously described as formalistic and autistic with neoclassical orthodoxy reigning supreme. This book details how political economy became economics through the desocialisation and the dehistoricisation of the dismal science, accompanied by its separation from the other social sciences.
