Introduction

Lefteris Tsoulfidis ()

Chapter Chapter 1 in Competing Schools of Economic Thought, 2009, pp 1-4 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This book was born out of our reaction to the way in which the usual texts cover the subject of the history of economic thought. In most of these texts, there is a tendency to emphasize the similarities and differences between all the important economists and form a repository of encyclopedic knowledge where one can study the seemingly important economic ideas. In this book, we argue that it is much more fruitful to focus on the essential ideas of each and every school of economic thought and relate them to present-day problems, than to engage into a sterile discussion of the ideas and the lives of the great economists of the past.
