Foundations of Economic Theory and Coordination
Toward a deeper account of coordination in economic systems
Model Absolutism
Why Formal Models Are Tools, Not Reality
By Dr. Byron Gillory
In Model Absolutism, Dr. Byron Gillory offers a rigorous critique of one of modern economics’ most persistent methodological errors: the elevation of formal models from analytical tools to governing authorities.
Drawing on economic theory, philosophy of science, and policy analysis, Gillory argues that models are indispensable for clarification—but destructive when mistaken for reality itself. When abstraction replaces judgment, and precision substitutes for understanding, economic reasoning becomes brittle and policy failure becomes systematic.
This book reframes mathematics not as a source of authority, but as an instrument of distillation—useful for insight, incapable of command. Economic systems, Gillory contends, are not solvable objects but interpretive orders shaped by time, uncertainty, and human action.
