Recenzii

Praise for the the first edition:
'A Concise History of Economic Thought is exactly the book I have always wanted to prescribe for undergraduate classes in the history of economic thought. Written by two eminent scholars, it provides a clear convincing outline of the principal developments in our discipline combined with clear, absorbing accounts of the major episodes, contributors and their contributions on the way. It is an authoritative and definitive text, a wonderful read, an example of mature scholarship at its best, backed up by well chosen additional readings in each chapter.' - G.C. Harcourt, Jesus College, Cambridge, UK
'This book, written by two eminent historians of economics, is a definitive roadmap through the development of economic thought over the past 400 years. Its convincing and transparent structure introduces each milestone along the way in the form of accessible vignettes of the key contributions to classical political economy and modern economics. As a unique feature, each of these more than thirty chapters stands on its own and can be read individually. Closely working with relevant sources, and with aptly chosen suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, this is an ideal textbook and concise overview of the field.' - Matthias Klaes, Head, Centre of Economics and Management, Keele University, UK
'This book presents a comprehensive history of theoretical economics from the mercantilist period to roughlythe middle of the 20th century. The treatment of the material is thorough, well organized, clear and rigorous...an excellent resource.' - Gary Mongiovi, St John's University, USA
