A policy analyst at the Australian National Office for the Information Economy tackles the problem of how being rational at an individual level can fit together with being scientific at the community or societal level. An adequate economic model of science is needed, he says, and introduces a rational choice approach and a neo-institutionalist approach to science. The first applies conventional economic theory and tools, such as self-interest and exchange. The other asserts that it is scientific institutions that distinguish science from other culture-producing institutions. The jacket and the title page verso call the theory neo-institutionalist.
