How Social Science Got Better: Overcoming Bias with More Evidence, Diversity, and Self-Reflection
In How Social Science Got Better, Matt Grossmann provides a robust defense of the current state of the social sciences. He focuses in particular on the salutary innovations in research methods and the broadening of subject matter that academics deem worthy of inquiry. He offers a wide-ranging account of current research trends that will necessarily force the academy's many critics to rethink their lazy critiques and instead acknowledge the path- breaking advances in knowledge occurring in the social sciences today.
