Classics and Moderns in Economics Volume I

Peter Groenewegen’s reputation as a chronicler of the history of economics is unparalleled. Building on his respected collection on eighteenth-century economics, this new book focuses on the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

While Part I of the volume concentrates on the classical economists: Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo and Karl Marx, Part II is dominated by the figure of Alfred Marshall. Several essays have never previously been published, while many are difficult to access, having been written across the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. An invaluable resource for historians, the book displays the evolving nature of Peter Groenewegen’s work over the years.

Of interest to students and academics involved in the history of economics, this collection should be on any self-respecting economist’s bookshelf. Groenewegen is one of the authorities on nineteenth- and twentieth-century economics.

Peter Groenewegen is Professor of Economics at the University of Sydney, Australia. He has written widely on the history of economics, including Eighteenth-century Economics (Routledge, 2002).
