Abstract

The assumption, ' ceteris paribus' is, indeed, a necessary prerequisite for any theory that aims at explaining certain specific characteristics of an economic system. Without this assumption the theoretical tools cannot be sharpened. Without it, economics deteriorates to a descriptive or institutional science incapable of explaining economic development.
