Poverty in the History of Economic Thought: From Mercantilism to
Neoclassical Economics aims to describe and critically examine how
economic thought deals with poverty and the poor, including its
causes, consequences, reduction, and abolition. This edited volume
traces the economic ideas of key writers and schools of thought
across a significant period, ranging from Adam Smith and Malthus
through to Wicksell, Cassel, and Heckscher. The chapters relate
poverty to income distribution, asserting that poverty is not
always conceived of in absolute terms, and that relative and social
deprivation matter also. Furthermore, the contributors deal with
both individual poverty and the poverty of nations in the context
of international economy. By providing such a thorough exploration,
this book shows that the approach to poverty differs from economist
to economist, depending on their particular interests and the main
issues related to poverty in each epoch, as well as the influence
of the intellectual climate that prevailed at the time when the
contribution was made. This key text is valuable reading for
advanced students and researchers of the history of economic
thought, economic development, and the economics of poverty.
Poverty in Contemporary Economic Thought aims to describe and
critically examine how economic thought deals with poverty,
including its causes, consequences, reduction and abolition. This
edited volume traces the ideas of key writers and schools of modern
economic thought across a significant period, ranging from
Friedrich Hayek and Keynes to latter-day economists like Amartya
Sen and Angus Deaton. The chapters relate poverty to income
distribution, asserting the point that poverty is not always
conceived of in absolute terms but that relative and social
deprivation matters also. Furthermore, the contributors deal with
both individual poverty and the poverty of nations in the context
of the international economy. In providing such a thorough
exploration, this book shows that the approach to poverty differs

and the main issues related to poverty in each epoch, as well as

This volume together scholars specializing in different parts of
the world to give us a comparative understanding of the persistence
of corruption in some societies. The reader is privileged to learn
from the many global variations that are skilfully presented for
further analyses. Corruption is a salient feature of human
condition in any organized society. Further, where risks are low
and the returns high, corruption is almost inevitable. Apart from
this, traditional public behaviour comes precariously close to what
in the West might amount to corrupt practices. Bureaucratic
corruption should be understood in the light of a clash of morality
on the one hand and legality on the other. There is a contradiction
between traditional values, which are held in respect and are a
part of everyday life of a people, and norms of the larger society
which stand out as compelling forces. The idea of the modern
division between the public and private office is alien to a
traditional culture and corruption finds space when this division
is not strictly observed. Seven essays in this volume cover a range
of countries which include India, South Africa, Nigeria, Zimbabwe,
and Indonesia. As the essays unfold themselves, the problem of
corruption takes on an added dimension, that of a legacy left
behind by colonialism. Please note: This title is co-published with
