Development of Economic Analysis

Development of Economic Analysis: Fifth Edition traces the development of economic theory from its pre-analytical stage to modern micro-macro analysis. All the major movements are covered in six chronological parts which blend historical analysis and contemporary theoretical and diagrammatic exposition to establish the relationship between modern theory and its roots. The book provides a valuable aid to the study of the development of economic analysis per se while at the same time encouraging students to examine its relevance to contemporary theory. Now in its fifth edition, this modern classic has established itself as the foremost undergraduate text for understanding the development of economic analysis.
