Examining theories of the past that have a continuing modern resonance, he shows that economics is not a timeless, objective science, but is continually evolving as it is shaped by specific times and places. From Adam Smith's theories during the Industrial Revolution to those of John Maynard Keynes after the Great Depression, Galbraith demonstrates that if economic ideas are to remain relevant, they must continually adapt to the world they inhabit. A lively examination of economic thought in historical context, Economics in Perspective shows how the field has evolved across the centuries UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781400889075?locatt=mode:legacy UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781400889075 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/cover/covers/9781400889075.jpg ER -
