Opis

The nature of economic analysis was subject to a profound change in the second half of the 19th-century. The battle of methods (Methodenstreit) in Germany between the pure theory and advocated by Carl Menger and the empirically based historical methods of Gustav Schmoller is well documented, but the equally significant debates in the UK have not been as widely covered. This set charts this transition between classical and neo-classical economics. The collection illustrates the gradual transformation of economics from the fully contextualized political economy of the early classical economists to the abstract, deductive theory of neo-classical economics.
