Evolution Economic Ideas by Deane Phyllis (34 results)

Paperback. Condition: Good. The failure of orthodox economic analysis to provide acceptable answers to the dominant contemporary policy problems has given rise to a widespread feeling of 'methodological crisis' in the discipline. Students find it increasingly hard to relate to a textbook-authenticated paradigm which seems to be in the process of disintegration. The object of this book is to put some of the current theoretical controversies into long term perspective by tracing their historical antecedents. A connected object is to interpret some of the doctrinal divisions in the modern debate by showing that they spring from profound disagreements about what economics is and what questions the economist ought to be trying to answer. It examines the way leading theorists have adapted their theories and concepts to major changes in the problem-situation facing policy makers. The book is in no sense exhaustive (either in the range of theories or in the selection of theorists discussed) but focuses particularly on changes in economists' views on the scope and methodology of economics and on the evolution of strategic ideas in the fields of value theory, monetary theory and growth theory. It raises questions of a socio-historical kind, such as: when did economics acquire a sufficently coherent and well-attested paradigm to rank as a distinct discipline? What were the distinguishing characteristics of successive paradigms for economics? How revolutionary were the changes attributable to periods of significant theoretical change? How can we explain the success or failure of alternative paradigms in gaining a hold over the minds of a majority of professional economists? All economists will find valuable insights in this book. For undergraduate students it is a compact and readable introduction to the history of economic thought.…

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. The failure of orthodox economic analysis to address contemporary policy problems has led to a sense of 'methodological crisis' within the discipline. Students struggle to connect with a disintegrating textbook paradigm. This book aims to contextualize current theoretical controversies by tracing their historical roots and interpreting doctrinal divisions in modern debates, highlighting fundamental disagreements about the nature of economics and the questions economists should pursue. It examines how leading theorists have adapted their ideas in response to significant changes in policy-making challenges. While not exhaustive in its coverage of theories or theorists, the book emphasizes shifts in economists' views on the scope and methodology of economics, as well as the evolution of strategic ideas in value theory, monetary theory, and growth theory. It poses socio-historical questions regarding the coherence of economics as a distinct discipline, the characteristics of its paradigms, the revolutionary nature of theoretical changes, and the factors influencing the success or failure of alternative paradigms among professional economists. This book offers valuable insights for all economists and serves as a compact, accessible introduction to the history of economic thought for undergraduate students.…
