SUMMARY
Causation is asymmetrical in many different ways. Causes precede effects; explanations cite causes not effects. Agents use causes to manipulate their effects; they don't use effects to manipulate their causes. Effects of a common cause are correlated; causes of a common effect are not.This book by one of the preeminent philosophers of science writing today offers the most comprehensive account available fo causal asymmetries. It is a major book for philosophers of science that will also prove insightful to economists and statisticians.Hausman, Daniel M. is the author of 'Causal Asymmetries', published 2008 under ISBN 9780521052429 and ISBN 0521052424.
