A chapter in A Concise History of Economic Thought, 2003, pp 325-326 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The final chapters of Part II (Chapters 33 and 34) have touched on issues still part of contemporary controversy and debate. In this way, the outline of the history of economic thought presented here is up to date, because it almost touches the present, and thereby converts the present into history. As explained in the Prologue, this is not the only reason why an understanding of the history of their subject is thought to be appropriate for practitioners of economics. It might be reiterated here that it is the whole history and development of the subject which is relevant in this way, not just the modern developments discussed in Part II of the book. Aspects of classical economics, for better or, in some cases, for worse, influence contemporary economic thinkers.
