The Idea of History in Constructing Economics

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Economics has tended to be perceived as being quantitative, mathematical, abstracted and generalising, whilst history is factual, discursive, and detailed. Methodological linkages have frequently been sought and made between economics and other disciplines, but history has been an exception to this.
