Opis

Recently, students and scholars have expressed dissatisfaction with the current state of economics, and have called for the re-introduction of historical perspectives into economic thinking.

Supporting the idea that fruitful lessons can be drawn from the work of past economists, this book draws on the work of economists throughout history to consider afresh themes such as financial and real explanations of economic crises, the role of central banks, and the design of macroeconomic policies. These themes are all central to the work of Maria Cristina Marcuzzo, and the contributions will be both reflecting on and furthering her research agenda.
