Produktbeschreibung

Bertram Schefold is renowned for his distinctive approach to the history of economic thought. This book brings together commentaries from his series "Klassiker der Nationalökonomie" (Classics of Economics), which have been translated into English for the first time. Schefold's choice of authors for the series, which he has edited since 1991, and his comments on the various re-edited works are proof of his highly original and thought-provoking interpretation of the history of economic thought. This seminal volume shows that study of the history of economic thought should be explored far beyond its most widely known figures.

This selection focuses on notable, but neglected writers, localising the beginning of economic science not with Adam Smith, but with the moral question of usury and the good life in Antiquity. The volume takes a global perspective, with its coverage including the German Historical School, mercantilist Spain and Arab and Asian classics of economic thought.

This book will give the reader a far broader view of economics than has previously been available, and is written with the aim of achieving a universal history of the subject. The volume is suitable for those who are interested in and study history of economic thought as well as economic theory and philosophy.
