The History of Economic Thought: A Reader

by Steven G. Medema (Editor), Warren J. Samuels

With clearly written summaries putting each selection into context and useful questions for discussion, this reader should be useful to students and lecturers of the history of economic thought and goes beyond the simple reprinting of articles. Selections and discussions include such thinkers as Aristotle, John Locke, Francois Quesnay, David Hume, Jean Baptiste Say, Karl Marx, William Stanley Jevons, Irving Fisher and Thorstein Veblen. The volume can be used as a core textbook or as a supplementary text on courses in economic thought and philosophy. It should provide readers with a good foundation in the different schools of thought that run through economics.
