A COMPANION TO THE HISTORY
OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT
Blackwell Companions to Contemporary Economics
The
Blackwell Companions to Contemporary Economics
are reference volumes
accessible to serious students and yet also containing up-to-date material from
recognized experts in their particular fields. These volumes focus on basic
bread-and-butter issues in economics as well as popular contemporary topics
often not covered in textbooks. Coverage avoids the overly technical, is
concise, clear, and comprehensive. Each
Companion
features an introductory
essay by the editor, extensive bibliographical reference sections, and
an index.
