dc.description.abstractThe role of perspective is often overlooked within economics. While the scale and scope of economics has expanded greatly in the last decades, less and less time has been devoted to introspection. Yet, as economics grows, so does the need for introspection, in order to explore the origins and relations of, and between, our own perspectives. This dissertation is an attempt to turn our gaze inwards in three different themes: justice, methodology, and ontology. Chapter Two reassesses the Seattle/Denver Income Maintenance Experiments (1970-1976) seeking to correct many misconceptions that have been taken as conventional wisdom about the experiments. Chapter Three expands on Martha Nussbaum's capabilities list through the inclusion of negativity and a "zeroth" capability. Chapter Four redefines the nature of economic pluralism through the use of parallax ontology.
