Social scientist Steve Fuller deconstructs the self-referential culture of
science, replacing the abstract heroics of “the history of science” with a model
of science as trade in his eponymous book. Lay admirers may balk (it’s a
monograph), but for scientists this could resolve some deep-seated anxieties.
