Review

'This method of opening views, connecting apparently non-related things, combined with a stupendous knowledge of European economic history makes this book particularly valuable. Putting familiar things in a new context and extending narrow effects to powerful general principles is refreshing and sometimes bold.' Homo oeconomicus

Book Description

Charles Kindleberger makes a powerful case against the idea that any one model could be used to unlock the basic secret of economic history. These lectures illustrate the view that the economist seeking to test analysis against historical data should have a variety of different models, and not just one.
