Recenzii
'Professor Roncaglia is one of the world's leading authorities on the history of economic thought. He has written intellectual biographies of William Petty and Piero Sraffa, and a recent magnus opus – The Wealth of Ideas: A History of Economic Thought. This new book is a worthy sequel, with extended detail on more recent developments in the history of economic thought, and beautifully written. The book should be essential reading for any serious economist who wants to master the origins and historical progress of their discipline.' A. P. Thirlwall, University of Kent
'Alessandro Roncaglia provides a masterly survey of a field of enquiry – contemporary economic research from the Second World War to the present day – characterized by great breadth and complexity. His inquiry into their interrelations and the underlying philosophies of the fragmented landscape of modern economics combines highly scholarly investigation with passionate denunciation of its limits. An indispensable teaching aid and guide through the meanderings of the economic profession of our times.' Maria Cristina Marcuzzo, Sapienza, Università di Roma
'Alessandro Roncaglia has crafted a tour de force. The Age of Fragmentation is a most worthwhile book, one that should be read by all economists no matter what their theoretical orientation is. Roncaglia demonstrates a vast storehouse of knowledge, acute analytical abilities, and sensible critical faculties.' John F. Henry, Levy Economics Institute of Bard College
