European Economists of the Early 20th Century, Volume 2

By: Warren J. Samuels

Book Overview

Warren Samuel's second and concluding selection of essays focuses on early 20th-century economists who, while relatively well-known in their times, have tended to be obscured by the more prominent stars of the discipline. I t illustrates that economics is more diverse and complex than conventional histories of economic thought tend to identify. In particular it includes contributions on those economists who were not in the mainstream, or, if in the mainstream, practised economics in a somewhat alternative manner. Samuel's has assembled a collection of essays on 13 economists - six German and seven Italian - who remain noteworthy of study to this day. The economistsfeatured in the volume represent a variety of ways of parctising economics - theoretical, methodological and policy-orientated - who all contributed to the understanding of economic processess and institutions at the deepest levels.
