Terence W. Hutchison (1912-)

Terence Wilmot Hutchison este un economist britanic, ce a studiat la Cambridge si la London School of Economics. A fost profesor la Universitatea din Birmingham si la L.S.E. Principalele sale contributii sunt in campul metodologic. Este empiric si discipol al lui Karl Popper. 

In decada anilor 30, Terence W. Hutchison initiaza o critica agresiva la adresa metodei obisnuite intre economisti argumentand ca in timp ce teoria economica este bazata pe logica ipotetico-deductiva, s-ar putea ajunge la tautologii, cerand sa se elaboreze propuneri ce ar putea fi contracarate in mod empiric. Din acel moment si in toata opera sa a mentinut polemici ce l-au infruntat pe F.H. Knight, L. Robbins,  F. Machlup, economistii austriaci si ricardieni.
