Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is the opus magnum of one of the world's most renowned experts on the history of economic thought, Bertram Schefold. It contains commentaries from the series Klassiker der Nationaloekonomie (Classics of Economics), which have been translated into English for the first time. Schefold's choices of authors for this 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.
Together with a companion volume, Great Economic Thinkers from Antiquity to the Historical School: Translations from the series Klassiker der Nationaloekonomie, this book is a collection of English translations with introductions by Bertram Schefold. The emphasis of this volume is on the theoretical debates, from the theory of value to imperfect completion; from money to the institutional framework of society; and from the history of economic thought to pioneering works in mathematical economics. This volume is an important contribution to the history of economic thought, not only because it delivers original and fresh insights about well-known figures, such as Marx, Stackelberg, Sraffa, Samuelson, Tooke, Hilferding, Schmoller and Chayanov, but also because it deals with ideas and authors who have been forgotten or neglected in previous literature.
This volume is of great interest to those who study the history of economic thought, economic theory and philosophy, as well as those who enjoyed the author's previous volume, Great Economic Thinkers from Antiquity to the Historical School.
