Synopsis

Volume II in The Making of Economics, 4th Edition series fills a major gap in the literature of economics, providing in brief fashion a complete treatment of high theory in economics. Like Volume I, the book is accessible to the intelligent reader, be they advanced undergraduate or graduate students, laypeople, or professors of economics and finance. The author walks the reader through the maze of contemporary economics, acquainting them with the most up-to-date theories as well as recent economic history. The learning tasks are eased by volleys of examples as well as dramatic illustrations. The progression is from neoclassical Keynesian economics to monetarism, continuing with mathematical economics and econometrics, the theory of economic growth, the new classical economics, game theory, experimental economics, and global economics. For example, common threads between Smithian classical economics and new classical economics are woven into the fabric of discussions directing the way to the higher theory. The new chapters on mathematics and econometrics, game theory, experimental economics, and globalization are not to be found in other surveys of what the author calls the ""Modern Superstructure of Economics."" Although designed to be used with Volume I, it can also stand alone as a text or textbook supplement for a wide range of courses in economics and finance.

Revue de presse

Canterbery has been a productive and versatile economist, writing prolifically in a large number of fields. Whatever the subject and the audience, he writes clear and interesting prose. He is independent in his views, often heterodox but always worth considering. --James Tobin, Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences, 1981

There are few scholars who have more consistently elicited my respect and admiration. Canterbery has his own position in the world of economics, and a wonderful ability to make it clear. Reading this new edition of The Making of Economics is a true pleasure. I urge the attention of all with an interest in this subject. --John Kenneth Galbraith, Harvard University

Canterbery's The Making of Economics is a major breakthrough in texts for History of Economics courses. It consistently views Economics as a developing discipline a discipline that is seeking new formulations and this is responsive to real world problems. It will help students understand both history and current problems and will prepare them for the future. It will not put blinders on their minds. --Hyman P Minsky, Washington University
