A History of Portuguese Economic Thought (Hardcover)

This volume offers an account of the development of economic thought in Portugal. It covers the age of the Discoveries until the end of the first half of the 20th century. It also presents the main features of Portuguese economic literature and provides a summary of the theoretical and economic policy problems that have been identified and discussed by Portuguese economists over the last five centuries. The authors adopt a comparative approach to analyze how economic doctrine, theories and policies have been disseminated and assimilated by Portuguese authors in different periods. They assess the influence on Portuguese economic thought of major economists such as Adam Smith, Keynes and Hayek. The volume argues that national histories of economic thought are not only useful for the extra knowledge they provide but also for their contribution to the renewal of a valuable historiographic tradition which explores marginalised historical and intellectual discourses.
