Great Economic Thinkers from Antiquity to the Historical School: Translations from the series Klassiker der Nationalökonomie de Bertram Schefold

Great Economic Thinkers from Antiquity to the Historical School: Translations from the series Klassiker der Nationalökonomie: Routledge Studies in the History of Economics

Autor Bertram Schefold
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 apr 2016
This book contains commentaries from the series "Klassiker der Nationalökonomie" (classics of economics), which have been translated into English for the first time. This selection focuses on neglected, but notable writers in a deserted sub-discipline, localising the beginning of economic science not with Adam Smith, but with the moral question of usury and the good life in Antiquity. Bertram Schefold’s choice of authors for the "Klassiker" 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 (HET).
This volume is an important contribution to HET not only because it delivers original and fresh insights about such well-known figures as Aristotle, Jevons or Wicksell, but also because it deals with authors and ideas who have been forgotten or neglected in the previous literature. In this regard Schefold’s book could prove to be seminal for the field of the history of economic thought, for in the age of globalisation our usual restriction to the thinkers of Western Europe and the USA might eventually be overcome.
This book will give the reader a far broader view of economics compared to that of the latest research. This volume is suitable for those who are interested in and study history of economic thought as well as economic theory and philosophy.

Recenzii

Schefold invites the reader to understand the history of economic thought not as a discipline which primarily wants to discover the earliest author to have expressed a thought which might still be important today. "The texts are really interesting only if we recognise a ‘political’ dimension and try to interpret them as expressions of the will to shape, to preserve or to change the world", he writes.
Schefold [...] tries to build a bridge from the traditional history of economic theories to a universal history of economic thought.
- Gerald Braunberger, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ)
 
"...this is a truly great achievement in the history of economic thought; it is comparable to that of Schumpeter’s when he wrote the History of Economic Analysis in the middle of the previous century."
- Kiichiro Yagi, Setsunan University, Neyagawa city, Osaka, Japan

Descriere

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.
