Synopsis

A fresh look at how economics became a social science, led by John K. Ingram and the historical school.

This book traces Ingram’s role in moving political economy toward a broader, society-centered vision and shows how his ideas shaped the way later economists understood markets, labor, and national policy.

With clear, accessible analysis, the volume situates Ingram within a dynamic movement that challenged older doctrines. It explains how a more inductive, fact-based approach emerged and how the “sociology” of economics was framed as a study of institutions in time and place. The book also surveys the key debates around value, wages, production costs, and international trade, highlighting the shift from abstract deduction to the study of real conditions and social consequences.

• How Ingram and his colleagues reframed economics as a social science tied to human welfare.
• Why induction and historical context mattered more than rigid deduction.
• Core ideas about value, cost of production, wages, and international exchange.
• The influence of this movement on later economic thought and policy debates.

Ideal for readers of economic history, the history of economic thought, and social science, this edition offers a focused overview of a pivotal shift in the discipline.
