Time, expectations and expectations and subjectivism: prolegomena to a dynamic economics

Article Abstract:

Time is an important element in economic philosophy. The phenomena of time can be theorized as consciously experienced; perceived as events, not as objects; and seen as pertaining to future anticipations and as a continuing 'now.' The idea of time and future expectations is crucial in explaining economic behavior because individuals base their expectations of the future in relation to their past and present. The subjectivity of time is either experienced as events which 'just happen' to individuals or as being full of surprises and fresh experiences.
