This book provides an elementary introduction to the history of economic thought and has been considerably overhauled and updated since the appearance of the first edition in 2002. A chapter is devoted to each of the major developments in the history of the discipline, with a brand new introduction setting the scene. This short history of economic thinking covers large ground by outlining the main schools of thought and paradigm shifts in the field. Greater coverage is allowed to the major Anglo-American trends while retaining the innovative coverage of mainland European thinking so characteristic of the original. In the final chapter, the authors draw together some of the key strands and comment on some major works and textbooks in the history of economic ideas. The book concludes by reflecting on the changes in economic thinking within the general context of the philosophy of science
Knut Wicksell made enormous contributions to capital theory, monetary theory and fiscal policy. However whilst his books are widely available in English, few of his more than 800 articles have ever been translated. This volume, first published in 1997, includes new translations of Wicksell's contributions to marginalism and capital theory; public economics and unemployment.
Traduko de grava faka verko al Esperanto: La historio de ekonomika pensado vere komencighis, kiam la homo ekfaris ekonomiajn decidojn. Skribaj dokumentoj pri tio ekzistas nur de iom pli ol 2000 jaroj. Nia libro donas klare strukturitan, koncizan superrigardon pri la evoluo de ekonomikaj ideoj kaj skoloj de la Helena epoko ghis la nuntempo - de la verkoj de Platono kaj Aristotelo, tra la mezepoka skolastika pensado kaj la posta merkantilismo, ghis la pli modernaj, multaj ekonomikaj skoloj elkreskintaj unu el la alia au' oponantaj unu kontrau' la alia. --- "Per Adam Smith establighis la moderna ekonomiko. Nunaj neoklasikuloj havas multajn ecojn komunajn kun Smith, precipe la ideon, ke chio estas interdependa en la ekonomio. Paralele kun la klasikismo kaj la neoklasikismo, konkuraj skoloj evoluis, kiel la historia skolo kaj la marksismo en la 19-a jarcento, la instituciismo, la kejnsismo kaj la monetarismo en la 20-a jarcento."

A thorough analysis of contemporary digital media practices, showing how people increasingly not only consume but also produce and even design media. With many new forms of digital media–including such popular social media as Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr—the people formerly known as the audience no longer only consume but also produce and even design media. Jonas Löwgren and Bo Reimer term this phenomenon collaborative media, and in this book they investigate the qualities and characteristics of these forms of media in terms of what they enable people to do. They do so through an interdisciplinary research approach that combines the social sciences and humanities traditions of empirical and theoretical work with practice-based, design-oriented interventions. Löwgren and Reimer offer analysis and a series of illuminating case studies—examples of projects in collaborative media that range from small multidisciplinary research experiments to commercial projects used by millions of people. Löwgren and Reimer discuss the case studies at three levels of analysis: society and the role of collaborative media in societal change; institutions and the relationship of collaborative media with established media structures; and tribes, the nurturing of small communities within a large technical infrastructure. They conclude by advocating an interventionist turn within social analysis and media design.
Investigating the ideological dimension and exploring the continued impact of Marx, Keynes and Hayek, the authors demonstrate how these three economic narratives became entangled over time and under increasing complexity, overlapping and competing with each other. The book reflects on the meaning of the historical legacy of the three narratives and investigates their significance today. All three outlined the prospects for a better and more economically efficient world with increased social justice. Magnusson and Stråth argue that they constitute a legacy on which a new economic tale must be based, a legacy to draw on or confront.
