Summary

Gianni Vaggi and Peter Groenewegen present a brief history of economic thought in two parts dealing respectively with classical economics and modern developments. Each of the 18 chapters looks at the contributions of a major economist, from Thomas Mun in the early 17th century through to Keynes and Harrod and the foundations of modern macroeconomics in the 20th century. Suggestions are given for further reading on each economist featured.
