Description:
The financial crisis of 2008 has revived interest in economic scholarship from a historical perspective. The most in depth studies of the relationship between economics and history can be found in the work of the so-called German Historical School (GHS). The influence of the GHS in the USA and Britain has been well documented, but far less has been written on the rest of Europe.
Review Quotes:
"The book, with its original conception, is likely to become a standard reference, and its work will not easily be duplicated...The book, therefore, is to be highly recommended..."
Bertram Schefold, FB Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Goethe-Universität, Journal of Economic Literature
"...this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of economic thought. Investigating the GHS' contributions to economics, its critiques of classical economics, and its integration of ethical values into economic policies, protective measures, and the inductive method, could provide valuable and relevant insights into many of the issues and problems facing our contemporary economy."
