This volume comprises twelve papers written by Chinese scholars on
various aspects of the history of ancient Chinese economic thought.
The contributions are preceded by an introduction which gives an
overview of the development of the subject of history of economic
thought in China, and which also provides an historical context to
the individuals who constitute the major "schools" of ancient
Chinese economic thought. The authors of the papers are leading
scholars who have dominated this research area since the founding
of New China in 1949, while the broad range of topics covered by
the contributions includes questions of methodology, detailed and
sometimes controversial interpretations of texts and "schools", and
the international influence and modern relevance of ancient Chinese
thought. A recurrent theme is that ancient Chinese thought has at
least as much to offer to the historian as ancient Western thought.
As the first such volume of papers to be translated into English,
this collection provides a unique opportunity for non-Chinese
readers to sample the way in which Chinese historians of economics
have attempted to understand their own intellectual heritage. This
book will be relevant to scholars interested in the history of
economic thought, economic history and Chinese studies.

Unemployment and the Economists addresses economic ideas, beliefs
and arguments regarding the causes and possible cures of
unemployment - a matter of recurring interest and concern for
economists throughout history.An overview essay by Bernard Corry
shows how the economic policy and theory has focused more on giving
incentives for the unemployed to find work than on altering the
structure of the demand for labour. Terry Peach writes about
Ricardo's debates with Malthus on unemployment following the
Napoleonic wars, while Jose Harris examines the phenomenon during
the 1870 to 1914 period. The volume also includes work by George
Peden on the interwar British Treasury's rejection of borrowing to
counter unemployment and Alan Budd's paper on the theory and
practice of unemployment policy since the second world war. The
volume concludes with comments by Walter Eltis. Featuring some of
the leading scholars currently writing on the history of economic
thought and policy, Unemployment and the Economists will be
welcomed as a substantial contribution to an on-going and highly
pertinent economic, political and social debate.
David Ricardo was the leading political economist of the early
nineteenth century. This book presents a reconstruction of the
substance and evolution of Ricardo's thought on the interrelated
topics of value, distribution and accumulation. It also provides a
detailed summary of, and critical commentary on, the vast secondary
literature. The author rejects Sraffa's influential 'corn model'
interpretation of Ricardo's early writings; the alleged similarity
between the work of Ricardo and Sraffa; the Hollander and Hicks
view of Ricardo's treatment of wages; and the neoclassical
interpretation of Marshall and others. He also addresses the role
of Ricardo's labour theory of value in his analysis, and Marx's
interpretation of it. Dr Peach argues that Ricardo's work has been
persistently, and sometimes wilfully, misinterpreted, and that this
can be remedied only through an attempt to understand Ricardo's
writings in his terms, taking account of his objectives.
