In Part 1 of this wide-ranging interview, Tony Lawson discussed his role in, and relationship to, Critical Realism as well as various defences of mathematical modelling in economics. In Part 2 he turns more explicitly to social ontology, his social positioning theory, related concepts and various aspects of particular social phenomena. He discusses how he sees his positioning theory as one of several that address (without being restricted to) agent-structure issues, clarifies his take on on-going debates with Searle, Elder-Vass and others regarding emergence and causation, and provides several examples of applications of social positioning theory – including his latest thinking on the nature of money.
