Praise for this book

'This is a stirring and critical account of the evolution of economic thought during the last two and a half centuries...remarkably readable, amply documented, containing a vast literature of circa 800 references, all in a style that is highly critical without being unjustly provocative.' - History of Economic Ideas

He presents some interesting speculation on the new economics to which a new economic situation may lead. He surveys the history of economic thought in a manner that contrasts refreshingly with conventional treatments. - David R. Andrews, Cazenovia College, USA for the Review of Radical Political Economics
