| Abstract |
"A History of European Economic Thought grafts the history of economic thought onto Global History by showing how significant economic ideas have influenced the process of Europe's formation from the very beginning to the present day. This work joins together two classical stories that until today have followed parallel paths. On the one hand, the political history of Europe, which is often limited to a few fleeting references to the ideas of the great economists of the past, and, on the other hand, the history of economic thought, which looks at Europe as a whole, as a distinct supranational community, only with reference to the institutions created after World War II. The volume contributes to shedding light on the constitutive values of Europe, which also stem from a particular economic culture. It provides essential reading for students and scholars of the history of economic thought. Antonio Magliulo is Full Professor of History of Economic Thought at the University of International Studies of Rome, Italy"-- Provided by publisher. |
