ИПИ Библиотека

This book of readings is designed to serve as an introduction to the study of the history of economic thought and analysis.
Each group of readings is preceded by a brief introduction which sets forth some of the key features of the respective school. The introductions are followed by bibliographical references to supplementary readings.

History of economic thought aims at a critical analysis of the meaning, validity, and relevance of economic theories. Although it does not deal directly with economic history, social reform movements, biography, methodology, and other aspects of philosophy, familiarity with any these subjects will enhance an understanding of economic analysis and its evolution.
