This vital addition to the Routledge History of Economic Thought
series surveys arguably the most important country in the
development of economics as we know it today - the United States of
America. A History of American Economic Thought is a comprehensive
study of American economics as it has evolved over time, with
several singularly unique features including: a thorough
examination of the economics of American aboriginals prior to 1492;
a detailed discussion of American economics as it has developed
during the last fifty years; and a generous dose of non-mainstream
American economics under the rubrics "Other Voices" and
"Crosscurrents." It is far from being a native American community,
and numerous social reformers and those with alternative points of
view are given as much weight as the established figures who
dominate the mainstream of the profession. Generous doses of
American economic history are presented where appropriate to give
context to the story of American economics as it proceeds through
the ages, from seventeenth-century pre-independence into the
twentieth-first century packed full of influential figures
including John Bates Clark, Thorstein Veblen, Irving Fisher, Paul
Samuelson, and John Kenneth Galbraith, to name but a few. This
volume has something for everyone interested in the history of
economic thought, the nexus of American economic thought and
American economic history, the fusion of American economics and
philosophy, and the history of science.
