Business Cycles in Economic Thought underlines how, over the time
span of two centuries, economic thought interacted with cycles in a
continuous renewal of theories and rethinking of policies, whilst
economic actions embedded themselves into past economic thought.
This book argues that studying crises and periods of growth in
different European countries will help to understand how different
national, political and cultural traditions influenced the complex
interaction of economic cycles and economic theorizing. The editors
of this great volume bring together expert contributors consisting
of economists, historians of economic thought and historians of
economics, to analyse crises and theories of the nineteenth and the
twentieth century. This is alongside a comprehensive outlook on the
most relevant advances of economic theory in France, Germany and
Italy, as well as coverage of non-European countries, such as the
United States. Several of the highly prestigious Villa Vigoni
Trilateral Conferences formed the background for the discussions in
this book. This volume is of great interest to students and
academics who study history of economic thought, political economy
and macroeconomics.
Economic Thought and History looks at the relationship between
facts and thought in historical economic research, viewing it in
the context of periods of economic crisis and providing detailed
analyses of methods used in determining the bond between economic
history and economic theory. This interdisciplinary collection
brings together international researchers in the history of
economic thought and economic history in order to confront varying
approaches to the study of economic facts and ideas, rethinking
boundaries, methodologies and the object of their disciplines. The
chapters explore the relationship between economic thought and
economic theory from a variety of perspectives, exploring the
relationship between history and economics, and the boundaries
defining the history of economic thought, in terms of both single
authors and schools of thought. The book offers particular insights
on the Italian tradition of thought. The uniquely interdisciplinary
and analytical approach presented here bridges the methodological
gap between these disciplines, unearthing a fertile common ground
of research. This book is intended for Postgraduate students
conducting further research into the field, or for professors and
academics of economic history and history of economic thought.
The financial crisis of 2007 required the economics discipline to
thoroughly re-evaluate its prevailing theories about economic
cycles and economic growth. With a focus on Europe, this volume
identifies the latest strands of research on business cycles,
monetary theory, the evolution of social policies and public
spending, and the institutional context of the European Union. It
also considers whether these new ideas could have helped us avoid
the crisis, and how they might reshape the current economic
paradigm. This book will be of interest to advanced students and
researchers in European economics, macroeconomics and economic
history.

This book investigates the economic organization of ancient
societies from a comparative perspective. By pursuing an
interdisciplinary approach, including contributions by
archaeologists, historians of antiquity, economic historians as
well as historians of economic thought, it studies various aspects
of ancient economies, such as the material living conditions
including production technologies, etc.; economic institutions such
as markets and coinage; as well as the economic thinking of the
time. In the process, it also explores the comparability of
economic thought, economic institutions and economic systems in
ancient history. Focusing on the Ancient Near East as well as the
Mediterranean, including Greece and Rome, this comparative
perspective makes it possible to identify historical permanencies,
but also diverse forms of social and political organization and
cultural systems. These institutions are then evaluated in terms of
their capacity to solve economic problems, such as the efficient
use of resources or political stability. The first part of the book
introduces readers to the methodological context of the comparative
approach, including an evaluation of the related historiographical
tradition. Subsequent parts discuss a range of development models,
elements of economic thinking in ancient societies, the role of
trade and globalization, and the use of monetary and financial
instruments, as well as political aspects.

This edited collection provides the first comprehensive history of
Florence as the mid-19th century capital of the fledgling Italian
nation. Covering various aspects of politics, economics, culture
and society, this book examines the impact that the short-lived
experience of becoming the political and administrative centre of
the Kingdom of Italy had on the Tuscan city, both immediately and
in the years that followed. It reflects upon the urbanising changes
that affected the appearance of the city and the introduction of
various economic and cultural innovations. The volume also analyses
the crisis caused by the eventual relocation of the capital to Rome
and the subsequent bankruptcy of the communality which hampered
Florence on the long road to modernity. Florence: Capital of the
Kingdom of Italy, 1865-71 is a fascinating study for all students
and scholars of modern Italian history.
