The impact of Swedish economists on the development of modern
economic analysis has been profound. This volume contains 12 essays
dealing with various aspects of the development of economics and
economic thought from the mid-18th-century to the middle of the
20th century. Most of the essays cover the golden age of Swedish
economics, the early decades of the 20th century, and deal with
such figures as Knut Wicksell, Gustav Cassel, Eli Heckscher, Bertil
Ohlin, Erik Lindahl and Erik Lundberg. It illustrates the constant
involvement of Swedish economists in current affairs. Economists
have taken an active part in practically every debate of importance
in Sweden since the turn of the century. Those discussed here
include the 8-hour workday, the New Economics of the 1930s and
forestry economics. Brinley Thomas, in his account of the Stockholm
School, emphasized the influence that professional economists
appeared to have on public affairs. This book accounts for it in
terms of the consistency of their attempts to make public
contributions. The book includes a chapter on an unpublished
manuscript by Knut Wicksell.
