Synopsis

Foundations of Economic Thought offers a bold, rigorous critique of how economics is built, from valuation to production.

This work presents a methodical restatement of problems in economic science and argues for a disciplined approach to understanding price, distribution, and the laws that guide economic life. It blends historical perspective with a careful analysis of theory, aiming to illuminate how economic ideas have developed as a science. The book is divided into two parts: a critique of core economic principles and a critique of economic methodology. It emphasizes reading the chapters in a specific order and frames the inquiry as tentative and exploratory, rather than final or dogmatic. Expect discussions that connect economic ideas to broader questions about science, inference, and social inquiry, with careful attention to how concepts like value and cost are interpreted.

• A patient, historical look at economics as a science and the beliefs that shaped its early development
• Examination of valuation, price, distribution, and production as central topics
• Discussion of how economic methods relate to inference, law, and causation

Ideal for readers of economic theory, history of economic thought, and philosophy of science who want a clear, critical view of how economic ideas are formed and challenged.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
