She was not convinced that math and equilibrium analysis represented a good model of the real world

"Economic reasoning alone cannot offer a solution for any economic problem, for all involve political, social and human considerations that can not be reduced to -the lore of nicely calculated less and more. The object to an introduction to analysis should be, not to propound solutions, but to suggest to the reader what he must take into account in trying to make up his own mind about the issues presented to him by the age in which he lives."
