Abstract
Abstract The article with the title “The Problem With Probability” suggests an interesting connection between Knightian uncertainty and Shackle’s Potential Surprise Function. The paper offers additional support to the formal analysis of uncertainty proper. Nevertheless, it suffers from insufficiencies in the definitions and classifications related to the concept of probability and time. Readers can complement it with Shackle’s assessment of probability and with Cantillo’s analysis of the Potential Surprise Function as a language whose main function is to serve as a means for engendering the future.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Post Keynesian Economics is a scholarly journal of innovative theoretical and empirical work that sheds fresh light on contemporary economic problems. It is committed to the principle that cumulative development of economic theory is only possible when the theory is continuously subjected to scrutiny in terms of its ability both to explain the real world and to provide a reliable guide to public policy.
