This book contains commentaries from the series "Klassiker der
Nationaloekonomie" (classics of economics), which have been
translated into English for the first time. This selection focuses
on neglected, but notable writers in a deserted sub-discipline,
localising the beginning of economic science not with Adam Smith,
but with the moral question of usury and the good life in
Antiquity. Bertram Schefold's choice of authors for the "Klassiker"
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
(HET). This volume is an important contribution to HET not only
because it delivers original and fresh insights about such
well-known figures as Aristotle, Jevons or Wicksell, but also
because it deals with authors and ideas who have been forgotten or
neglected in the previous literature. In this regard Schefold's
book could prove to be seminal for the field of the history of
economic thought, for in the age of globalisation our usual
restriction to the thinkers of Western Europe and the USA might
eventually be overcome. This book will give the reader a far
broader view of economics compared to that of the latest research.
This volume is suitable for those who are interested in and study
history of economic thought as well as economic theory and
philosophy.
