Great Economic Thinkers from Antiquity to the Historical School
This book contains commentaries from the series "Klassiker der Nationalökonomie" (classics of economics), which have been translated into English for the first time. This selection focuses on neglected, but notable writers in a deserted sub-discipline, localising the beginning of economic science not with Adam Smith, but with the moral question of usury and the good life in Antiquity. Bertram Schefold’s choice of authors for the "Klassiker" series, which he has edited since 1991, and his comments on the various re-edited works are proof of his highly original and thought-provoking interpretation of the history of economic thought (HET). This volume is an important contribution to HET not ...

Die Beschäftigung mit der Theoriengeschichte eröffnet – im Spannungsfeld von gestern und heute, von alt und neu, von Tradition und Fortschritt – einen sehr anregenden Zugang zur Volkswirtschaftslehre. Sie stärkt darüber hinaus das Bewusstsein für Entwicklungen und gewährt vor allem Orientierung. An dogmenhistorischen Positionen werden u.a. vorgestellt: Der „Aspekt der Ökonomik" in der Antike und im Mittelalter, Merkantilismus, Physiokratismus, Klassischer Liberalismus, Sozialismus, Historismus, Grenznutzenlehre, neoklassische Lehren (einschließlich Welfare Economics und Neue Institutionenökonomik), Keynesianismus, Neoliberalismus und Evolutorische Wirtschaftstheorie. In der zweiten Auflage sind einige Kapitel ausgebaut worden. Beispielsweise ist zum Frühsozialismus und Marxismus der Liberalsozialismus hinzugekommen. Ergänzt wurde das Kapitel Monetarismus. Die Nobelpreisträger wurden mit der offiziellen Preisbegründung in einem Anhang hinzugefügt.

Efficiency Instead of Justice?
Economic analysis of law is an interesting and challenging attempt to employ the concepts and reasoning methods of modern economic theory so as to gain a deeper understanding of legal problems. According to Richard A. Posner it is the role of the law to encourage market competition and, where the market fails because transaction costs are too high, to simulate the result of competitive markets. This would maximize economic efficiency and social wealth. In this work, the lawyer and economist Klaus Mathis critically appraises Posner’s normative justification of the efficiency paradigm from the perspective of the philosophy of law. Posner acknowledges the influences of Adam Smith and Jeremy B...
The Classical Economists Revisited
The Classical Economists Revisited conveys the extent, diversity, and richness of the literature of economics produced in the period extending from David Hume's Essays of 1752 to the final contributions of Fawcett and Cairnes in the 1870s. D. P. O'Brien thoroughly updates, rewrites, and expands the vastly influential work he first published in 1975, The Classical Economists. In particular, he sets out to make clear the shaping of a comprehensive vision of the working of an open economy, building on the great work of Adam Smith in Wealth of Nations, a development that was substantially affected by the contributions of David Ricardo. He shows that the Classical literature was in fact the work ...
The Rise of Political Economy as a Science
Reviews the epistemological ideas that inspired the classical economists: the methodological principles of Bacon, Descartes, Hobbes, Newton, Locke, Hume, Stewart, Herschel, and Whewell. The classical age of economics was marked by an intense interest in scientific methodology. It was, moreover, an age when science and philosophy were not yet distinct disciplines, and the educated were polymaths. The classical economists were acutely aware that suitable methods had to be developed before a body of knowledge could be deemed philosophical or scientific. They did not formulate their methodological views in a vacuum, but drew on a rich collection of philosophical ideas. Consequently, issues of me...
