Description
Economic Thought: A Brief History by Heinz D. Kurz explores the evolution of economic thought from ancient Greece to the present day.
This concise yet comprehensive history examines how economic insights are acquired, lost, and reborn through the work of influential thinkers and historical events that shape their ideas.
From Adam Smith's concept of the "invisible hand" to modern concerns about growth theory and welfare economics, Kurz provides a clear understanding of key concepts and their relevance to contemporary world events.
