This volume provides a history of productivity, both as an economic concept and as a principle of the organization of production processes, showing how productivity became both a guiding concept of economic thought and a framing principle of a variety of economic practices. Offering perspectives on the emergence of the modern economy-at the intersection of economic and cultural history-the book historicizes and critiques the schemas of modern economic thought.
