Michael H Turk

The Idea of History in Constructing Economics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The relationship between the disciplines of economic and history has often been fraught. Economics has tended to be perceived as being quantitative, mathematical, abstracted and generalising, whilst history is factual, discursive, and detailed. Methodological linkages have frequently been sought and made between economics and other disciplines, but history has been an exception to this. In this new volume, Michael Turk explores the relationship between economics and history, making the case that economics does in fact require the proper grounding in history that has so often been ignored.
