A chapter is devoted to each of the major developments in the history of the discipline, before a concluding chapter in which the authors draw together some of the key strands and comment on some major works and textbooks in the history of economic ideas. They also reflect on the changes in economic thinking within the general context of the philosophy of science.
This new edition continues to offer the clear and concise coverage of the main schools of thought and paradigm shifts in the field that has become the volume’s trademark. The book has been thoroughly updated throughout in order to reflect changes in the landscape of the field. Details on key thinkers, and aspects of the story such as the evolution of scholarship on growth and development, have been added or expanded, whilst not compromising on the book’s concise approach. Key updates include:
Biographical- and bibliographical information is brought up to date throughout the text
North American economists John Kenneth Galbraith and Kenneth Ewart Boulding make their first appearance in this edition
Information on developments in institutional economics, addressing in particular the works of 2009 Nobel prize winner Elinor Ostrom).
