1 Introduction: Economic indeterminacy and the dance of the meta-axioms: the dynamic mechanism by which neoclassical economics turns defeat at the hands of indeterminacy into unassailable dominance
2 Unity is strength: it is also the cause of indeterminacy regarding the wage and employment preferences of employers and trades unions
3 Rational conflict: on the impossibility of a determinate theory of costly disagreement
4 No bluffing please, we are economists! Why bluffs and other subversive acts preclude determinate game theoretical analyses
5 Bargaining by rules of thumb: when strategic indeterminacy forces the rational negotiator to fall back on myopic rules of thumb
6 Marxists and the sirens’ song: when disgruntled Marxists reach for neoclassical economics’ toolbox they get more than they bargained for
7 A theory of solidarity: why indeterminacy is a prerequisite for genuine solidarity
8 On the power of what others think: how indeterminacy explodes when our preferences are influenced directly by other people’s beliefs
9 The social foundations of corruption: on the indeterminate power of what others think
10 Evolving morals in the laboratory: the roots of distributional justice principles in indeterminacy
11 Evolving domination in the laboratory: the spontaneous creation of hierarchies and the patterned beliefs that support them
12 On the distinction between evolution and history: the impossibility of modelling behavioural mutations amongst political animals
13 Conclusion: dealing with indeterminacy on the stage of social life
