Historical Analysis in Economics (Hardcover, New)

Neo-classical economics is frequently criticized for paying inadequate attention to historical processes. However, it has proved easier to make broad claims that "history matters" than to theorize with any depth about the appropriate role for history in economic analysis. "Historical Analysis in Economics" considers what history can contribute to the science of economics: how would it matter if "history mattered?";Leading economic historians consider both the general aspects of this question and specific examples where long run changes have clearly impacted on the economic landscape, including issues related to employment and retirement and changing attitudes to business culture.
