The Routledge Handbook of the History of Global Economic Thought
offers the first comprehensive overview of the long-run history of
economic thought from a truly international perspective. Although
globalization has facilitated the spread of ideas between nations,
the history of economics has tended to be studied either
thematically (by topic), in terms of different currents of thought,
or individually (by economist). Work has been published in the past
on the economic thought traditions of specific countries, but this
pioneering volume is unique in offering a wide-ranging comparative
account of the development of economic ideas and philosophies on
the international stage. The volume brings together leading experts
on the development of economic ideas from across the world in order
to offer a truly international comparison of the economics within
nation-states. Each author presents a long-term perspective on
economics in their region, allowing global patterns in the progress
of economic ideas over time to be identified. The specially
commissioned chapters cover the vast sweep of the history of
economics across five world regions, including Europe (England,
Scotland, Ireland, Italy Greece, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Sweden,
Russia and the Ukraine), the Americas (the USA, Canada, Mexico and
Central America, Spanish-Speaking South America, Brazil and the
Caribbean), the Middle East (Turkey, Israel, Arab-Islamic
Economics, Persia/Iran, North Africa), Africa (West Africa,
Southern Africa, Mozambique and Angola), and the Asia-Pacific
Region (Australia and New Zealand, China, Southeast Asia, the Asian
Tigers, India.) This rigorous, ambitious and highly scholarly
volume will be of key interest to students, academics, policy
professionals and to interested general readers across the globe.
