Abstract
In this paper we look first at the methodology which McCloskey is attacking (and its relationship to the methodology he thinks he is attacking). We then look at the benefits which a more rhetorical approach might bring to the subject. Lastly we take up the surprising fact that McCloskey omits to discuss what makes for good or bad rhetoric.
