The State of the History of Economics - Proceedings of the History of Economics Society (Hardcover, New)

This collection explores emerging areas in the history of economics and provides an insight into contemporary research in the field. The papers focus on four areas, the first of which is science and economics; the authors investigate how science is perceived and how its history is related, detail an early history of probability and examine "cyberpunk" - a science fiction genre that draws heavily on modern economic ideas. The second section considers David Ricardo's contribution to international trade theory. In this section texts by David Ricardo are re-examined to provide a framework for a more consistent and coherent interpretation of Ricardo and to demonstrate how history of economic thought approaches can be applied to the treatment of current theory and policy concerns. In the third part, the contributions of individual economists including Joseph A. Schumpeter, Werner Sombart and John Maynard Keynes and a comparison of Hicks' and Lindahl's views on monetary stability are discussed. A consideration of economics and events before Adam Smith is presented in the fourth section, and an investigation into English policies toward Ireland at the time of Cromwell's occupation is follo
