This collection of essays presents an overview of this area.\u003cbr\u003e\"A serious reconsideration of the 'economics of science' is long overdue,\" say Philip Mirowski and Esther-Mirjam Sent in the introduction to \u003ci\u003eScience Bought and Sold\u003c\/i\u003e. Indeed, it is only recently that one could speak of a field of economics of science at all. Although it has long been accepted that economics can provide useful tools with which to understand science, economics has only lately shifted its focus to the economic agent as information processor, making it more broadly applicable to science. \u003cbr\u003eBringing together central themes in this emerging discipline, the editors have assembled important articles that provide a wider context and background against which the economics of science can be evaluated. Roughly one-third of the essays presented here are original papers, and the rest are critical articles previously published in the field. From essays examining economic welfare to the idea of scientists as agents to the digital aspects of higher education,\u003ci\u003eScience Bought and Sold\u003c\/i\u003e presents a comprehensive overview of the new directions of this expanding area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContributors: \u003cbr\u003eKenneth J.
