Opis

The Economic Review was launched in 1891, the same year as the famous Economic Journal. It was the brain-child of a group of concerned Oxford historians and social scientists, most of them with a strong social conscience, who were more interested in discussing economic ideas in the context of moral and social problems, than in following the Cambridge approach of advancing the status of economics as a science. The Review provided an important vehicle for the so-called historical economists and also for the growing disciplines of economic history and sociology in Britain. Amongst the contributors are such distinguished names as Hobson, Cannan, Tawney, Hobhouse, Ashley and Sidney Webb. In view of the present controversies over the uses of economic theory, the issues dealt with in the Review, have an important contemporary relevance.
