Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR 1997 Level: mittel Not Only an Economist Mark Blaug Edward Elgar This volume focuses on the importance of the history of economic thought as an intellectual discipline. It counters the arguments of some contemporary economists who describe it as studying the mistakes of the past.

Lee Routledge Is or has economics ever been the imperial social science? Could or should it ever be so? These are the central concerns of this book. It involves a critical reflection on the process of how economics became the way it is, in terms of a narrow and intolerant orthodoxy, that has, nonetheless, increasingly directed its attention to appropriating the subject matter of other social sciences through the process termed "economics imperialism". 2009 Level: mittel From Economics Imperialism to Freakonomics Ben Fine, Dimitris Milonakis Routledge This Encyclopedia is a very first fully refereed A-Z compendium of the main principles, concepts, problems, institutions, schools and policies associated with political economy.

Geburtstag Lucas, Rainer; Pfriem, Reinhard; Thomasberger, Claus (Hrsg.) Metropolis Despite some diversification modern economics still attracts a great deal of criticism.

Many argue that flaws continue to owe much of their shortcomings to neoclassical economics. 2015 Level: leicht What is Neoclassical Economics?

Wiens-Tuers Routledge At the time of his death in 1950, Joseph Schumpeter was working on his monumantal History of Economic Analysis.

A major contribution to the history of ideas as well as to economics, History of Economic Analysis rapidly gained a reputation as a unique and classic work. 1994 Level: mittel History of Economic Analysis Joseph Alois Schumpeter Routledge In this book, the author critically examines a number of socialist proposals that have been put forward since the end of the Cold War. It is shown that although these proposals have many merits, their inability effectively to incorporate the benefits of information technology into their models has limited their ability to solve the problem of socialist construction. The final section of the book proposes an entirely new model of socialist development, based on a "needs profile" that makes it possible to convert the needs of large numbers of people into data that can be used as a guide for resource allocation. This analysis makes it possible to rethink and carefully specify the conditions necessary for the abolition of capital and consequently the requirements for socialist revolution and, ultimately, communist society. 2014 Level: mittel Information Technology and Socialist Construction Daniel E.
