A companion volume to the International Bibliography of the Social Sciences, the Thematic List of Desciptors will be a valuable tool for all those contributing to the development of information systems in the social sciences.

This bibliography lists the most important works in economics published in 1987. The IBSS is now produced under the editorial direction and authority of the British Library of Political and Economic Science at the London School of Economics, one of the world's leading social science institutions. In 1990 this database was merged with the London Bibliography of the Social Sciences to provide an information service of bibliographic data covering the world's literature in the social sciences.

IBSS is the essential tool for librarians, university departments, research institutions and any public or private institution whose work requires access to up-to-date and comprehensive knowledge of the social sciences.

Presented in bilingual form (English/French), these bibliographies list the most important publications in the field of economics in 1986. Arranged in a decimal system of classification and including author and subject indexes.
