This book presents, for the first time, a detailed transcription of
Jacob Viner's Economics 301 class as taught in 1930. These lecture
notes provide insight into the legacy of Jacob Viner, whose seminal
contributions to fields such as international economics and the
history of economics are well known, but whose impact in sparking
the revival of Marshallian microeconomics in the United States via
his classroom teaching has been less appreciated. Generations of
graduate students at the University of Chicago have taken Economics
301. The course has been taught by such luminaries as Milton
Friedman and Gary Becker, and remains an introduction to the
analytical tools of microeconomics and the distinctive Chicago way
of thinking about the market system. This demanding and rigorous
course first became famous in the 1930s when it was taught by Jacob
Viner. When read in tandem with the Transaction editions of Milton
Friedman's Price Theory, Frank Knight's The Economic Organization,
and Gary Becker's Economic Theory, Viner's lectures provide the
reader with important insights into the formative period of Chicago
price theory. These recently discovered notes from Viner's class
will be important for historians of economic thought and anyone
interested in the origins of the Chicago School of Economics.
