Exploring the cross-cultural exchange of ideas between German and Turkish scholars, policymakers, and institutions, this book sheds light on how German theories were interpreted and applied in Turkey during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.Situating the flow of ideas within broader patterns of economic globalization, the contributors to this edited volume explore historical, economic, and ideological developments in Turkey and Germany. Within economic thought, there is a particular focus on the influence of the German Historical School in Turkish economic thought; the contributions of German refugee scholars in the 1930s, through their publications, courses they offered, and their relations with the other members of academia; and Marxian Asiatic Mode of Production debates of the 1960s. In terms of economic policy, the book also discusses agrarian populism in the 1930s, German soft power in interwar Turkey, the first Gastarbeiter Agreement and its effects, German investments in Turkey after the World War II, and the role of sports in shaping relations between Germany and Turkey.The book will be of great interest to readers in the history of economic thought, intellectual history, economic history, and the histories of Germany and Turkey more broadly.

Dellheim, Judith / Wolf, Frieder Otto (eds.), The Economic Legacy of Eugen Varga. (Luxemburg International Studies in Political Economy) 242 pp. 2025:12 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <758-153>
ISBN 978-3-032-04051-0 hard ¥55,898.- (税込) EUR 219.99

This book explores the legacy of economist Eugen Varga and the continued importance of his life and work. It examines the influence of Marx and Luxemburg on Varga's ideas, particularly his analysis of the capitalist mode of production and his theoretical work on the development of an alternative mode of production. How Varga found limitations in not just his own strongly empirical epistemology, but also in the anti-dialectic Stalinist system are discussed, alongside why these critiques remain relevant in relation to neoliberal theories, inequality, and ecological concerns. Varga's specific notion of the modern state, his political economy analysis, and his position within the Marxist economic tradition are also covered. This book provides insight into the challenges faced when attempting to overcome the capitalist mode of production, as well as the historical limitations of scientific research and how ideas can be corrupted by personal, political, and societal forces. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in Marxist economics, the political economy, and the history of economic thought.

This book offers an in-depth exploration of the genesis of Leon Walras's work and its impact on the history of economics. Through a thorough examination of both published and unpublished writings, correspondence, and personal notes, the book reveals new insights into Walras's intellectual evolution and his overall conception of economics. It traces the formation of his theoretical framework, the elements of his "political and social economy," and his aspirations for a "liberal and humanitarian scientific socialism." The book is organized into five parts: Part I investigates the influences shaping Walras's thought, including his relationship with his father, Auguste Walras, and the intellectual legacy of Jean-Baptiste Say. This section also discusses Walras's views on the stages of historical development, reflecting on the industrial and commercial transformations of his time and his framework for categorizing the social and political sciences.Part II examines the development of Walras's general equilibrium theory, the role of free competition within a "pure economy," and the reception of his ideas in Italy and France. It highlights the historical and intellectual context surrounding his theoretical innovations.Part III addresses Walras's approach to the teaching of economics, with a focus on avoiding intellectual rigidity, particularly in France. It explores his work in social and applied economics at Lausanne and his efforts to shape academic resources, such as library acquisitions, to support this vision.Part IV critiques French liberalism, analyzing Walras's responses to figures like Louis Blanc and the Saint-Simonians, and discusses his editorial work with Le Travail, which advocated cooperative approaches.Part V highlights Walras's reformist ideas, including his vision for labor market organization, the state's role in land repurchase to replace taxes, the regulation of public services and natural monopolies, and his ideas on democracy, particularly his campaign for professional representation of interests. This comprehensive analysis appeals to scholars and students of the history of economic thought and anyone interested in understanding the formation and legacy of Walras's work.

This pioneering book aims to rectify and reduce the historic marginalization of women's economic scholarship, underlining their contributions to the field of heterodox economics.Written by women, the book centers women's voices, allowing them to represent themselves and their work. With most of the contributors originating beyond the Anglophone sphere, the book has a global outlook, pushing against the USA-centric scholarship on women in heterodox economics of recent decades. Focussing on why women are heterodox economists, and on their contributions to traditions in the field, chapters include first-hand accounts by both established and emerging heterodox economists covering their careers, influences, and thoughts on the future of the field. It also showcases the contributions of key women scholars to the development of dominant approaches including original institutional economics, feminist economics, Marxist economics, post-Keynesian economics and development economics.A vital reference for heterodox economists around the globe, this Elgar Companion is also an enlightening read for scholars in political economy, sociology, history, political science, philosophy and gender studies.

Keynes' General Theory revolutionized economic policy and theory, but it can be dense, cryptic, and hard to follow for modern readers. Even most Keynesian economists have not read it. This companion works through Keynes' argument clearly, explaining his terms, his ideas, and their significance for his time and ours. It also helps explain how the meaning of the word "Keynesian" has become so contentious today, and so important.

This book offers a survey of ideas and practices of economic liberalism beyond Western Europe and North America. It traces the intellectual development and political agency of pro-market economists in Eastern Europe, East Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and West Africa, from the 1970s onwards.Drawing on original primary-source research from five continents, the contributors to this volume - both internationally recognised senior scholars and emerging historians and social scientists - bring deep regional and linguistic expertise to their analyses. Each chapter critically examines the transformation of planned and state-centric economies into deregulated market systems, exploring these transitions from the perspective of the economists who drove the reforms. By challenging Western-centric narratives of neoliberal policy advice, this book offers fresh insights into the chronology, circulation of ideas, and power dynamics that shaped one of the late twentieth century's major transformations.Offering a new approach to the study of liberal ideas outside the West, the book will be of interest to academics cutting across disciplinary boundaries, including historians of (the marketisation of) state socialism, but also area specialists on Asia, Eastern Europe and the Global South.

産業開発と分業－分析の歴史
Sai-wing Ho, P., Industrial Development and Division of Labour: A History of Analysis. 300 pp. 2026:4 (Cambridge U. Pr., UK) <757-277>
ISBN 978-1-108-48267-7 hard ¥38,324.- (税込) GB￡ 130.00

A country's industrial policy aims at promoting the development of sectors that often relate to manufacturing and is especially important for less-developed countries as they seek to catch up economically. Industrial Development and Division of Labor re-examines the long history behind the debate on its formulation and organises the discussion around the two types of division of labour found in Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations. One type has evolved to become the neoclassical perspective and its notion of market failure that has heavily skewed the debate's history. Noting its limitations, including the simplified catch-up learning that is conceived, this book illustrates that arguments for industrial policy that are rejected by Neoclassical economists - so-called 'protectionist' and import-substituting ones - and newer notions involving innovation systems actually share roots with Smith's other type of labour division. They offer broader perspectives on policy that call for establishing elaborate interactive contexts for learning for development.

資本主義経済における倫理
Miller, Robert, Ethics in a Capitalist Economy: Why Markets Need Virtues. 264 pp. 2025:12 (Bloomsbury Academic, UK) <757-145>
ISBN 978-1-350-51538-3 hard ¥25,058.- (税込) GB￡ 85.00

In a novel application of the work of neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics to the philosophy of business, Robert CB Miller argues that free-market capitalism requires virtues to mitigate its flaws and to enhance its strengths. Ethics in a Capitalist Economy begins with an outline of modern virtue ethics, deriving from Aristotle and Aquinas and reinvigorated in the 20th century by writers including Elizabeth Anscombe and Philippa Foot. Taking up the idea that human nature determines the virtues, Miller sets out three types of virtue specific to economic activity: contractual, behavioural and entrepreneurial. With reference to major historical and contemporary thinkers including Adam Smith, John Locke, David Hume, Alasdair MacIntyre, Mary Midgeley and Steven Pinker, the book shows the flaws in the market economy and the ways in which these flaws can be mitigated by the application of particular virtues in order to encourage human flourishing. The book includes three case studies investigating the practice (or absence) of virtues in real world situations: on the career of Warren Buffett, on insights from behavioural economics and on the philanthropic efforts of business leaders. This book combines practical considerations with a detailed and accessible reading of the theory of virtue ethics and its relation to human nature in political economy.

This edited volume discusses the reception and application of Keynesian economics in Europe during the 20th century. The main focus of the book is the case of West Germany, where the strong position of Keynesian economics (primarily of the neoclassical synthesis type) at most universities since the 1950s contrasted with Ordoliberalism and the concept of the Social Market Economy, which became dominant German economic policy after the war. Chapter contributions focus on important pioneers of theoretical or political Keynesianism, such as Erich Schneider, Andreas Paulsen, and Karl Schiller in Germany, Kurt Rothschild in Austria, Gottfried Bombach in Switzerland; the influence of Keynes on other economists; and the relevance of Keynesian ideas in Austria and Norway. Providing a survey of important theoretical economists in post-war Germany, this volume will be of interest to researchers and students of economic policy, contemporary political, social and economic systems, history of economic thought and political history.

消費者社会と経済学者－経済思想史における消費とウェルビーイング
Collantes, Fernando, Consumer Society and the Economists: Consumption and Well-Being in the History of Economic Thought. (Palgrave Studies in the History of Economic Thought) 229 pp. 2025:10 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-102>
ISBN 978-3-031-96644-6 hard ¥30,488.- (税込) EUR 119.99

Is consumer society a vehicle for progress? Or is it a detour leading us away from the path to the good life? To what extent is consumer society a relevant object of analysis, after all? Today, these questions are central to the debate on the dynamics of capitalism and their impact on human well-being. Yet they are by no means exclusive to our time. This book traces the history of economic thought on consumer society from the late eighteenth century to the present day. It explores the ambivalence of classical political economists and Marx towards the world of consumption. It narrates the making of an intellectual battlefield between rival views of consumer society during the period 1870-1945 and the head-on clash that took place between those views during the decades after the Second World War. How these debates reemerged following the end of the Cold War and the Global Financial Crisis is also covered. This is the story of how economists debated consumer society and how that debate was shaped by another fundamental discussion: how economists should conduct their research and what kind of relationships they should maintain with other social sciences and the humanities. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the history of economic thought and political economy.

ISBN 978-3-032-01456-6 hard ¥22,865.- (税込) EUR 89.99

This book revitalises the labour theory of value as a framework for determining production prices and explores its implications for economic theory and policy. Through an in-depth review of economists such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, and Piero Sraffa, it uncovers that the profit distribution in proportion to material costs generally prevents the division of labour between separate industries. Instead, it reveals that profit sharing in relation to the labour input - the original productive power - is the only consistent method to establish an equilibrium under conditions of 'free' competition. In addition, profit maximisation in the vertically integrated wage sector, which satisfies demand financed out of wages, leads to a 100?% rate of profit (or rate of exploitation). The associated real unit labour costs amount to 50?%. The remnant 'luxury' department must adapt to this level. Empirical evidence confirms this finding. The author demonstrates that economic theory grounded upon the law of value can offer welfare-enhancing policies. This book will intrigue scholars and students of economics, as well as anyone interested in economic theory and the history of economic thought.

18世紀イギリスにおける経済の道徳的ディスコース
Yoon, Hye-Joon, Moral Discourses of the Economy in Eighteenth-Century Britain. 272 pp. 2025:11 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <756-104>
ISBN 978-981-9509-57-7 hard ¥30,488.- (税込) EUR 119.99

This book presents a comprehensive picture of eighteenth-century British authors' engagement with a society increasingly driven by commercial interests. The books and pamphlets constituting the "discourses" on economic topics overstep the boundaries separating the domains of economics, religion (William Warburton, John Wesley), law (William Blackstone, Lord Mansfield), history (William Robertson, Edward Gibbon), physiology (Richard Morton, Goerge Cheyne) and politics (Edmund Burke, the Abolitionists). An impartial and inclusive history of the "discourses" is what the book purports to construct. The luminaries of the British (and Scottish) Enlightenment (Adam Smith, David Hume), are given due respects, but a great number of less well-known and even anonymous authors also feature in the book. Giving as much scope as possible to the sources themselves, the book pays attention to both the rhetorical and the thematic layers of the quotations, while keeping generalization and theorizations to the minimum. The "eighteenth-century" in the title begins in the 1680s, when some of the important authors such as Nicholas Barbon published their thoughts, and ends in the 1790s, with the contrastive pair of Edmund Burke and Jeremy Bentham.

The Frankfurt Institute continues to command the interest of a wide range of scholars working in history, philosophy, sociology, and political science. Yet, the prevailing narrative about the Institute overlooks a crucial component of its history: the economic theories developed by its lesser-known members. This book presents the first comprehensive study of these overlooked contributions, providing a transformative account that repositions the Institute as a site of original and influential economic thought. Most research on the Frankfurt Institute remains narrowly focused on a select few members whose work developed methods of critiquing capitalism that were more philosophically oriented than empirically grounded in economic reality.Drawing on new archival research, this book brings to the forefront the sidelined and long-neglected economic ideas of Franz L. Neumann, Otto Kirchheimer, Friedrich Pollock, Carl Gruenberg, Henryk Grossmann, Arkadij Gurland, Gerhard Meyer, Kurt Mandelbaum, and Karl A. Wittfogel. Viewing the work of the Institute through these figures highlights the fact that material, historical and empirical approaches to economic theory were central to its work. Being primarily a work of intellectual history, the book contextualises the Institute's economic theories within the historical settings of the Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany.The book emphasises the role of these underappreciated economists in shaping economic discourse around the structural characteristics of capitalist economies during the twentieth century and offers a renewed perspective on the intricate interplay between economics, politics, history, and epistemology, which lay at the heart of the Institute's endeavours. This book will be of interest to researchers on twentieth-century economic history, intellectual history, political philosophy, history of economic thought, epistemology and Critical Theory.

現代の包括的経済科学－M.パンタレオーニの経済思想と遺産

Covering Maffeo Pantaleoni's key areas of contribution to economics, this book provides a comprehensive study of one of the foremost economic thinkers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Called the 'prince' of Italian economists by Piero Sraffa, among others, Maffeo Pantaleoni (1857-1924) was an original and innovative thinker but also bizarre and extravagant. As a result he did not produce an inherently continuous and systematic work, but his contributions oscillate between a shifting idealism and heterogeneous operational criteria. Contrasting with the specialisation which pervades the economic sciences today, rereading Pantaleoni one hundred years after his death, it is clear that he excelled in 'pure' as much as in 'applied' economics, in public economics as in statistical or historical-economic studies. Overall, his expertise spanned fields of economics that are now considered disaggregated and distant from each other. Thus, the Pantaleonian spirit, which was innovative and completist and could not be confined within any enclosure, was lost a century ago. This volume brings together a group of specialists capable of identifying the many points of contact between Pantaleoni's multiform thought and the disciplinary plurality of his economics - thus providing 'A Complete Economic Science' of which Pantaleoni would be proud.The book will be of interest to economists, readers in history of economic thought, intellectual history, Italian history more broadly, and scholars with diverse profiles of interest.

On his deathbed, Adam Smith ordered the burning of two unfinished works on epistemology and politics, fearing that his image as a philosopher would be tarnished and his ideas misinterpreted. This book argues that the inability to complete these two works is symptomatic of tensions for which Smith found no resolution.The loss of Smith's final manuscripts led to a century and a half of deliberate neglect from philosophers and misinterpretation from economists. The book reconstructs the lost works from fragments, lecture notes, correspondence, and chapters from published works. It also examines the reasons for changes in various editions of the Theory of Moral Sentiments, and explores the hybrid argumentative strategy employed in the Wealth of Nations. The output serves as a map of a coherent system addressing the same questions as Kant and venturing onto the path later taken by the pragmatists. This roadmap will guide twenty-first-century readers through Smith's work.The book is essential reading for Adam Smith specialists, historians of economic thought and philosophers of science.

A.スミスと東インド会社
Donoghue, Mark, Adam Smith and the East India Company. (Routledge Studies in the History of Economics) 256 pp. 2025:12 (Routledge, UK) <755-16>
ISBN 978-1-032-88451-6 hard ¥42,746.- (税込) GB￡ 145.00

This book examines Adam Smith's perspectives on the India question during a pivotal juncture when the East India Company evolved from a commercial enterprise into a de facto imperial authority in India. Smith astutely recognised the significance of this transition and anticipated its potential to unleash societal change. Yet despite the importance of his observations in The Wealth of Nations, Smith's treatment of the East India Company's operations and governance in India has received limited scholarly attention. This study addresses that oversight by arguing that Smith's reflections on India constitute an essential dimension of his political economy.Situating Smith within broader eighteenth-century debates on trade, colonial policy, and the moral legitimacy of empire, this study reinterprets his position on the East India Company's monopoly, the integration of Indo-European commerce, and the consequences of territorial acquisition in India. Challenging prevailing historiographical interpretations, it offers a new reading of Smith's views on the transfer of Indian territories to the British Crown. Although Smith neither visited India nor engaged directly in colonial administration or trade, his sustained interest in Indian affairs profoundly shaped his thinking on governance, commerce, and imperial reform. The book highlights Smith's recognition of India's wealth, his awareness of the strategic importance of the East Indies trade, and his call for institutional reforms to reconcile the East India Company's interests with Britain's evolving imperial responsibilities. In doing so, it dispels the assumption that Smith's theories were detached from the economic and political realities of empire and instead positions him as a key figure in the intellectual history of imperial thought. Bridging the fields of economic thought, imperial history, and Indian historiography, this book offers a fresh perspective on Smith's enduring relevance.At a time when questions about global trade, corporate power, and the legacies of empire remain deeply contested, Adam Smith and the East India Company revisits the early economic, political, and diplomatic entanglements between Britain and India, revealing how historical ties continue to shape the present. These insights are especially timely today, as the United Kingdom and India have recently concluded a new free trade agreement aimed at enhancing mutual market access-including in Indian textiles and gems, commodities once central to eighteenth-century trade flows and formative in shaping empire and global commerce. History reminds us that such exchanges are seldom without precedent. Economic exchange in the age of Smith laid the foundations for enduring commercial relationships and illustrates how contemporary agreements often reflect historical patterns forged in the crucible of early globalization.This study will appeal to scholars and advanced research students in the history of economic thought, Indian economic history, business history, imperial studies, and eighteenth-century intellectual history.

Callahan, Gene (ed.), The Concept of Work in the History of European Philosophy: By the Sweat of Your Brow. (Palgrave Studies in Classical Liberalism) 304 pp. 2025:10 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <754-23>
ISBN 978-3-031-96546-3 hard ¥33,029.- (税込) EUR 129.99

This volume offers a historical overview of philosophical thinking about work in a Western context. While philosophy has for a long time been interested in the liberative aspects of politics, including justice, liberty or equality, and there are also major philosophical works on the culture of play, the topic of work seems to have escaped philosophy's primary focus. This is surprising as since the middle of the 19th century the world of work has been at the centre of political struggle and social conflict. This collection of essays on how major European thinkers have conceptualised work aims to fill this gap and provides the first concise, yet substantial history of philosophical ideas about work. The Concept of Work in the History of European Philosophy is essential reading for all scholars, researchers and advanced students of the history of philosophy. It is also ideal for scholars in related fields such as organisational theory and the history of economic thought.

リベラリズムを超えたヘーゲル－政治的・経済的民主主義の弁証法

ISBN 978-1-009-58474-6 hard ¥28,006.- (税込) GB￡ 95.00 *

Hegel's political philosophy has long been associated with some form of social or welfare liberalism. Questioning this interpretation, Bernardo Ferro shows that Hegel's work harbours a more ambitious philosophical project, which points to a di?erent vision of modern society. Ferro claims that Hegel's account of the state should be read not as a complement to his characterization of civil society, but as a direct challenge to its underlying logic. He then draws the political and economic conclusions implicit in this line of approach, arguing that the conscious pursuit of the common good Hegel regards as essential to a rational state is not compatible with either a capitalist production system or a constitutional monarchy: a true dialectical synthesis of the particular interests of individuals and the general interests of society entails nothing less than a comprehensive democratization of the economic and the political spheres, and the need for this transformation holds the key to Hegel's enduring political relevance.

This book explores the broad range of intellectual influences, ranging from the history of economic thought to political philosophy, that have shaped economics and its leading thinkers. It examines the relationship between economics and philosophy, in particular how liberalism has helped define economics since the days of Adam Smith.

This book examines the academic life of Oskar Lange and his contribution to economics. It charts the development of his ideas across his working life and reflects on how the events of this period shaped his view of economics. His early engagement with European Marxism during the 1920s is outlined, as well as the ways that the 1929 economic crash encouraged Lange to evaluate the social dimension of economics and consider the economic underpinnings of a socialist planned economy. Lange's engagement with debates surrounding the theory of production, capital, the theory of interest, welfare economics, and general equilibrium during the 1930s and 1940s are outlined and provide insight into how Lange viewed the key economic debates of the day. The legacy of Lange, not just within socialist economics, but within the discipline more generally, is discussed to reflect upon his place within the Marxist tradition and his relevance within modern economics. This book offers unique insight into the work and legacy of Oskar Lange. It will be of interest to students and researchers working within the history of economic thought and the political economy.

Dazai Shundai (1680-1747) is a critical figure in Japanese political thought, who developed his philosophy in response to a perceived crisis in the status of the ruling samurai class, of which he was a member. This volume introduces sections from his most significant work of political thought, Keizairoku (1729), and its addendum Keizairoku shui (1744). Extracts present Shundai's program of political and economic reform, as he grappled with the upheavals and opportunities accompanying the breakdown of feudal agrarianism and the emergence of a modern commercial economy. While Shundai accepted the inevitability of this economic transition, his vision of political economy remained conservative, with a focus on strengthening samurai-class supremacy. Peter Flueckiger offers a critical introduction to Shundai's ideas, exploring the nuances of his engagement with Confucian thought, and extensive annotations provide further textual and historical context. This volume thus demonstrates how Shundai's writings prefaced increasingly ambitious theories of state-managed economic growth in early modern and modern Japan.

This book presents a critical history of Yugoslav socialist economics, from its inception in the late 1940s to its dissolution in the late 1980s. After the dramatic break with the Soviet Union in 1948, Yugoslavia found itself in urgent need of a third way: A socialist trajectory which would not resemble the Soviet model nor succumb to the imperatives of capitalist modernization. This monumental historical task resulted in the gradual constitution of the system of socialist self-management.This book is the first to provide a systematic response to key questions about this specifically Yugoslav form of socialist economics: How did it develop? How was it consolidated into a productive and influential academic discipline? What were the theoretical concerns and empirical procedures used by economists in order to create a modern scientific discipline and advance the cause of socialist Yugoslavia? And finally, how did this body of work enter a terminal crisis and disappear simultaneously with the country itself? Even given its failure, socialist Yugoslavia constitutes one of the more important and sustained twentieth-century attempts at building socialism. Thus, the Yugoslav way of thinking remains relevant for contemporary topics such as economic democracy, comparative economic systems and post-capitalist economic models.This book will appeal to all readers interested in the history of economics, economic sociology, political economy, the history of Yugoslavia and socialist debates.

From its beginnings, Polish economic thought has had a strong national character resulting from specific socio-political and economic realities.Drawing on the broader historical context, this book presents the main stages and contributions in the development of Polish economic thought from the medieval period to modern times. Focusing on economists and economic schools active within Poland, the book presents the development of Polish economic thought in the context of Polish history, economic history, sociocultural conditions, and the history of economics. The book features prominent figures such as Oskar Lange, Michal Kalecki, and Rosa Luxemburg, but the emphasis is on broader trends and developments across key periods. From the 16th century until the loss of independence in 1795, discussion on economic activity was part of a broader analysis of social relations. During the years of the partitions, the paramount issue for all Polish economists was regaining independence, which gave rise to the idea of Polish national economics. Independence in 1918 was a fundamental impulse for the development of theoretical research, led by the achievements of Lange and Kalecki. After World War II, the political and economic changes again influenced the development of Polish economics, being forced to consider the realities of a non-market economy. The tremendous political, economic, and social changes that began in 1989 led to significant shifts in Polish economic thought, with a particular emphasis on the research on the transition from a planned to a market economy.The book will be vital reading for those interested in the history of economic thought, economic history, Polish history, and European history more broadly.

This book explores the role of American economists in Greece between 1947 and 1962. With a focus on economic thought and political relations, it examines the Greek economy following the Second World War and highlights the economic ideas and policies that brought Greece out of an economic depression. Collaboration between Greek, American, and British policymakers, economists, politicians, and administrators in providing humanitarian relief, economic rehabilitation and monetary order is highlighted. By examining the specific economic policies and how they were articulated, a nuanced view of policy making is presented that provides insight into policies that were shaped by both New Deal idealism and post-war realism. This book offers unique insights into the post-war reconstruction of Greece and the exchange of ideas between American and Greek economists. It will be of interest to students and researchers working within economic policy issues, international political economy and the history of economic thought.

Situating key texts and writers in their proper historical context, this book presents a history of Swedish economic thinking from early modern times to the present day.Highlighting key elements of Swedish political, economic and social history allows the book to shed new light on important parts of the story including the development of neo-classical economics from the late 19th century - associated with leading names such as Knut Wicksell, Gustav Cassel and Eli Heckscher - and the rise of the so-called Stockholm school in the 1920s and 30s. But the book also goes back further to explore the Swedish economic literature of the 18th century, particularly its more "liberal" version of mercantilism and cameralism, as well as early modern and medieval developments. Throughout, the book emphasizes the unique nature of much of the economic thinking emanating from Sweden. Emulation and adaption of political economic thinking imported from abroad - primarily the UK, France and German speaking countries - is an important part of this story, but this is shown to be an active process which has resulted in great originality in Swedish economic thought.This book will be of interest to readers in the history of economic thought, economic history, the history of ideas and Swedish history.

Vor rund 250 Jahren erschien Adam Smith’ ≫Wealth of Nations≪, und eine seiner praegnantesten Thesen ist der Slogan von der ≫unsichtbaren Hand des Marktes≪. Damit gemeint ist die Ueberzeugung, dass Wettbewerb und Maerkte die Tendenz haben, die unzaehligen individuellen wirtschaftlichen Entscheidungen, die taeglich auf der Welt getroffen werden, in ein gesellschaftlich optimales Gleichgewicht zu bringen. Der Oekonom Arnis Vilks zeigt in seiner uebersichtlichen Studie, wie Smiths These zum ≫harten Kern≪ eines Forschungsprogramms und etwa seit den 1970er Jahren zum herrschenden Paradigma der Volkswirtschaftslehre wurde, obwohl es immer auch andere, wohlbegruendete konkurrierende Auffassungen gab. Nicht zuletzt die Vergabe von Nobelpreisen an prominente Propagandisten des neoliberalen Weltbilds sorgte dafuer, dass die damit verbundenen oekonomischen Ideen in die Koepfe von Politikern einsickerten. Durch Deregulierung, Privatisierung und Steuersenkungen, von denen naturgemaess die bereits Vermoegenden profitierten, wurde infolgedessen auch die Rolle und das wirtschaftliche Vermoegen der staatlichen Institutionen zugunsten der Akkumulation und Konzentration privaten Vermoegens reduziert. Der Neoliberalismus, dessen Genese im volkswirtschaftlichen Denken Vilks nachzeichnet, wirkte weit ueber ≫Thatcherismus≪ und ≫Reaganomics≪ hinaus ? die Politik etwa eines Donald Trump oder eines Javier Milei zeigt, dass er bis heute zu radikalen Massnahmen zu fuehren vermag.

This book introduces the economic theories that have placed uncertainty at the core of economic discourse. Covering the works of John Maynard Keynes and Frank Knight, as well as those of John von Neumann, Oskar Morgenstern, and Leonard Savage, it reconstructs the complex history of how economists have analyzed uncertainty, as distinct from risk, in the twentieth century. The text delves into the question of the extent to which uncertainty is a measurable entity, focusing on the perspective of those authors who have attempted to demonstrate its irreducibility to risk, with particular regard to Daniel Ellsberg and the ensuing current decision theory. The book will appeal to scholars of the history of economic thought, as well as students of advanced microeconomics, decision theory, game theory, and history of economic thought.

To understand the genesis of the modern economy, we must also investigate its normative foundations. More than a century after Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, the pursuit of this key methodological intuition remains unfinished. This book revisits the legacy of a neglected protagonist in the history of economic thought: Leonardus Lessius (1554-1623). Lessius' work provides unique insight into the normative roots of modern economic thought. In a context characterised by the globalization of trade, the rise of stock exchanges, and profound political and religious upheavals, merchants, bankers, and princes eagerly sought his advice to navigate the New World. Praised by Joseph A. Schumpeter as a 'father of modern economic analysis', Lessius became known in his own time as the 'Oracle of the Netherlands'. His main treatise, 'On Justice and Law', quickly gained the status of a reference work due to the clarity of its economic observations and Lessius' brilliant mastery of legal and moral reasoning. He offered practical solutions to a wide range of cases of conscience related to speculation, insurance, insider trading, subprime debt, interest-taking, abuse of market power, monopolies, public banks, safe investment vehicles, and many other economic and financial issues. It certainly was not his intention to turn the whole world into a competitive market without any limits as Lessius deplored humanity's inclination to succumb to the 'sacred hunger for gold'. However, he did wish to encourage effort, hard work and clever dealings, thus contributing significantly to the normative justification of modern commerce and finance. In a time marked as much by fierce debates on grace and free will as by doubts about the legitimacy of the first global economy, Lessius offers a glimpse into the interconnectedness between ideas on spiritual salvation and material prosperity.

Apostles of Development recounts the work of six individuals, all former classmates at Cambridge University, who helped make international development--the effort to reduce poverty and inequality around the world--into a juggernaut of the second half of the twentieth century. International development employed millions, affected billions, and spent trillions; it held the hopes of the former colonies to create an economic independence to match their newfound political one, and the plans of wealthy counties to build an enduring economic order. The six Apostles in this book include some of South Asia's best-known names, like Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen and long-serving Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, as well as leading academics (Jagdish Bhagwati) and key policy-makers in both national and international circles. Taken together, this group both reflected and shaped the growing enterprise of international development from the time they left Cambridge in the mid-1950s well into the 2010s. For many years, the second half of the twentieth century was understood primarily through the lens of the Cold War. And yet, for the majority of the world, living in what was then called the Third World (and which is now called the Global South), development was a constant, while American-Soviet geopolitics only occasionally impinged upon their lives. And these six, as much as any other group, changed the way economists theorized development and aid officials practiced it. Their biographies, then, are the history of development. Based on newly available archival documents from 10 countries, and on interviews with four of the subjects, the widows of the other two, and almost 100 of their colleagues, friends, classmates, and rivals, this book combines riveting personal accounts with a sweeping history of one of the enduring human activities of the late 20th century and early 21st centuries: creating a more prosperous and equitable world.

Modern economic theory has marginalised the figure of the entrepreneur, despite their significance in economic activity. Entrepreneurs rose in prominence as economic agents during the Enlightenment, but no consensus on this issue was formed in the period. This book addresses the role of the entrepreneur in the economic thought of the 18th and early 19th centuries, filling a gap in the historiography of economics.The book reassesses the conflicting views on the entrepreneur held by leading economic thinkers such as Richard Cantillon, David Hume, Francois Quesnay, A.R.J. Turgot, Adam Smith, Jeremy Bentham and Jean-Baptiste Say. They had differing opinions on the role of the entrepreneur in various economic debates, including economic growth, price formation, conception of production, construction of economic agents, innovation, and the market of capital. These debates and treatises highlight the importance of the entrepreneur and yet the figure was later excluded from the classical canon in economics. This book explores the emergence of entrepreneurial activity as a recognised factor of production in economic theory, the contributions and connections of Enlightenment economist, and the reasons for the concept's disappearance.The book will be of great interest to readers in the history of economic thought, history of entrepreneurship and management, economic history and economic theory more broadly.

When people wonder about the appropriate course of action in a given situation, they are already engaging in moral reasoning. This also applies to the field of business, where an understanding of ethics could help businesspeople and market participants make morally informed decisions. This book aims to enlarge the body of ethical theories available in Business Ethics by illustrating three moral principles relevant to economic agents based on the ideas of Immanuel Kant, Antonio Genovesi, and Adam Smith. All three authors were prominent figures in the eighteenth-century European Enlightenment movement and have much to teach us about the origins of modern economics. Additionally, the book provides specific examples relating to contemporary business situations, focusing on the ethical challenges posed by incomplete contracts. Overall, this book demonstrates that the historical evolution of economic and philosophical concepts remains pertinent to current dialogues in Business Ethics.

This book examines Swedish influences in the history of economics. Knut Wicksell (1851-1926) can be regarded as the founder of modern monetary macroeconomics. His work has significantly influenced both economic theory and the monetary policy of central banks and continues to do so to this day. Wicksell and other important Swedish economists like Gustav Cassel, Bertil Ohlin and Erik Lindahl, as well as Swedish economic policy, have shaped Hans-Michael Trautwein's research from the very beginning. In this book, written in honor of Hans-Michael Trautwein, leading international scholars discuss various topics in modern monetary macroeconomics, Swedish contributions to economics, problems in international economics and globalization, and selected topics in the history of economic thought.

In this comprehensive and topical book David Reisman analyses the contribution of the mercantilist authors to economic and political thought. International conflict, the balance of trade, state intervention, globalisation and patriotism remain as relevant in the present day as they were in the foundation years of the nation state.Professor Reisman examines the evolution of the mercantilist world view. He draws on the ideas of philosophers and businessmen, mainly British, to show that the mercantilists were conservatives and nationalists who were also open to economic development and targeted change. He devotes particular attention to the work of Hales, Milles, Malynes, Misselden. Mun, Child and Davenant and to their theories of consumption, population, productivity, individual choice and market failure. Reisman demonstrates that the mercantilist authors had an interdisciplinary interest in the politics of control and the sociology of community at a time when the borders of the emerging fields were not yet fixed.This thought-provoking book is valuable reading for students of the managed economy, international economics and world trade. Its impartial but probing analysis will also assist policymakers and government officials.

Istvan Hont (1947-2013) defected from Communist Hungary in the 1970s and became renowned globally as a scholarly visionary in European political ideas. Following his death, a wealth of unpublished material from an early project rewriting the history of liberty, politics and political economy from Samuel Pufendorf to Karl Marx was discovered. This book brings together seven of Hont's previously unpublished papers, providing a revolutionary intellectual history of the Marxian notion of communism and revealing its origin in seventeenth-century natural jurisprudence. Hont aspired to integrate the history and theory of politics and economics, to infuse present-day concerns with a knowledge of past events and theoretical responses. The essays selected for this volume realise Hont's historical imagination, range and intellectual ambition, exploring his belief that Marxism ought to be abandoned and explaining how to do it.

Drawing on key published works, as well as those of his contemporaries, this book explores the political and economic thought of the seventeenth-century diplomat William Temple and his proposals for change in Restoration England and Ireland.Adopting a revisionist approach, the book explores Temple's efforts to balance and advance English society during a period of shifting power between England, the Netherlands and France. Engaging with themes including mercantilism, state building and environmental determinism, Temple connected the ideas of antiquity to those of contemporaries while influencing subsequent intellectual currents. As the book shows, Temple viewed humans as curious and greedy creatures, who would stop at nothing unless their motivations and passions could be subdued or diverted. This belief had immediate practical political and economic consequences in Temple's work: the survival and stability of the polity had to be secured, but he also advocated toleration so that members of society were afforded space to follow their motivations. Furthermore, this led Temple to argue that prosperity could be achieved not only by managing human nature but through practical action as well. He advocated for direct investment in Ireland to boost its commercial prospects, albeit for the benefit of the English crown, in a way that foreshadows current thinking on economic development.This book will be of interest to readers in the history of economic and political thought, environmental history, intellectual history and early modern history more broadly.

It follows the development of Austrian economics, from the neo-classical revolution at the end of the 19th century to the modern era of economics that it has shaped. By highlighting the theoretical framework that characterises Austrian economics, insight is provided into a broad range of economic issues, including the notion of value, the impact of state intervention, the formation of market prices, the nature of competition, the laws of production, monetary policy, and business cycles. This book offers an accessible introduction to Austrian economics and the core ideas that define it.

In recent years, the concepts of determinism, causality, and explanation have taken on particular importance in the economic literature. Due to the failures of economic predictions based on mathematical models, philosophers and economists turned their attention to methodological issues. At the same time, heterodox approaches to economics have received increased attention, including the Austrian school of economics, an intellectual tradition that perceives economics as a science of human action and has emphasised the role of causal explanations practically from its inception. This book opens by exploring disputes in the philosophy of science over the fundamental goal of science. While instrumentalists argue that scientists should aim at good predictions regardless of the veracity of theories, according to scientific realists, they should look for knowledge that reflects reality. The book shows that the Austrian tradition adheres to scientific realism and can be perceived as a middle ground between historicism and positivism. It discusses the determinism/free will problem in economics and its methodological relevance. Then, it examines various theories of causality (regularity, counterfactual, interventionist, probabilistic, and process/mechanistic) and their applicability to economics. Finally, it explores possible and desirable types of explanations in economics. As the book tries to show, the Austrian school offers a unique and valuable approach to these issues. The book will be of particular interest to readers in economic theory, philosophy of economics, and economic methodology, especially those appreciating heterodox traditions.

愛憎としての資本主義－W.ゾンバルトに関する入門及び6つの論考
Szlajfer, Henryk, Capitalism as Hassliebe: Werner Sombart (1863-1941): Six Essays with an Introduction. (Studies in Critical Social Sciences 322) 383 pp. 2025:7 (Brill, NE) <744-241>

Werner Sombart, seen both as a path-breaking innovative economic historian who invented the concept of the Spaetkapitalismus (Late Capitalism) and the follower (for some time) of Hitler's National Socialism, is still a forgotten major figure in German social science. As the author of a widely known exposition on socialism and social movements (trade unions), the monumental Der moderne Kapitalismus and a controversial monograph on the role of the Jews in the birth of capitalism, he is shown in this book in the broader context of the disputes in the first decades of the 20th century involving Marxists, German Jews and his friend Max Weber.

This book, by way of a comparative analysis of the main economic viewpoints of the Chinese and Western traditions, shows that the theories of the Physiocrats originated, in a significant way, from ancient Chinese economic thought. Resorting to a large number of relevant Chinese and foreign materials, the author argues convincingly for the great role ancient Chinese thought played in the birth of Western modern economics. The book is funded and published by the Shanghai Marxist Academic Publications Foundation. It systematically and convincingly demonstrates the Physiocrats' basic economic views and their origins in ancient Chinese thought. This is a very innovative, unique and exciting research. Many scholars in China have regarded the work as a breakthrough in the study of the history of economics, because of which the author has won the second prize of outstanding achievement in Shanghai's philosophy and social sciences.

Anyone who does not know the history of economics cannot think competently about the future of economics. This book offers an introduction to economic history for those looking for more than just dry theory. The author takes you on a journey through the economy, from its beginnings in the Stone Age to the digitalization of modern times. In addition to the nature and fundamental principles of economics, the book also introduces great thinkers such as Aquinas, Keynes, and Erhard. While ancient philosophers like Plato and Aristotle focused mainly on the ethical dimension of economics, the first modern economist and moral philosopher, Adam Smith, for example, pondered how nations could achieve prosperity. Today, however-in an era where capitalism is increasingly under scrutiny-the question is how prosperity can reach everyone, especially in times of digitalization. Therefore, the book not only addresses economic concepts of the past and present but also offers an intriguing look into the future. Issues of social justice are discussed alongside topics such as digitalization, globalization, and ecology. The second edition has been updated to include a chapter on "Economics in Uncertain Times," which deals, among other things, with the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

トマス・アクィナスの経済活動におけるリスク論
Januard, Pierre, Thomas Aquinas on Risk in Economic Activity: Mapping, Typologies, and Dynamic Structure. (Palgrave Pivot) 138 pp. 2025 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <743-141>

This book provides a detailed look at Thomas Aquinas's view and understanding of economic activity. The work of Aquinas, one of the greatest thinkers of the Middle Ages, is contextualised within his own experiences, the history of the era, and the socio-economic changes underway in 13th-century Europe. Particular attention is paid to Aquinas's approach to risk, mapping out the different forms of risk he addresses, establishing typologies, and presenting it as a dynamic structure. This book offers unique insight into the economic work of Thomas Aquinas. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in the history of economic thought, economic analysis of risk, medieval studies, philosophy, and theology.

Guan, De-xing, The Nature of Economics: Smith, Coase, and the Substitution Structure of Production. 292 pp. 2025:1 (World Scientific, SI) <741-185>

This book conveys a simple idea: that the economic framework established by Smith and Coase is very useful in describing and explaining many facts in the real world.Smith's logic in the Wealth of Nations is simply the following: the extent of market transactions?division of stock?division of labor?economic growth. The logic of Coase in the Coase Theorem is that 'the delimitation of rights is an essential prelude to market transactions.' The logic of these two great economists can therefore be combined in a comprehensive way: delimitation of rights?the extent of market transactions?division of stock?division of labor?economic growth to the author calls this comprehensive version the Smith-Coase framework in economics.This framework will be repeatedly used in this book to explain various economic problems such as the law of demand, growth and development, monetary theory and policy, among others. According to Lucas, the approach of this book is classical because it 'makes no use of utility theory,' and because 'a household is truly a 'small factory'' a la Becker; household production function approach will be used to study the behavior of consumers.This makes the substitution structure of production the focus of this book. We view all economic agents as following the least cost principle, meaning that they would try to produce the goods and services they need by using factors of production in the least costly way. But there are at least four factors: labor, capital, land, and organization if we would like to accept the definition of Marshall. What economic agents will do is to substitute one factor for another in order to save the cost of production. The ease of substitution between various factors is therefore important for determining the shape of the substitution structure of production. Based on the principle of least cost, a simple mathematical model will be derived and used to explain various economic problems.
