Routledge A History of Economic Theory: Essays in honour of Takashi Negishi: 99 (Routledge Studies in the History of Economics)

Few economists have been as prolific and wide-ranging as Takashi Negishi. Part of the "Hicksian" generation of Neo-Walrasian general equilibrium theorists, Negishi rose to prominence during the early 1960s with his work on the Neo-Walrasian system. Negishi's signature has been his attempt to extend the multi-market Neo-Walrasian system in several directions to incorporate concerns such as imperfect comptetition, stability, money, trade and unemployment - and, as a consequence, helping to discover and delineate the limits of conventional theory. This collection in honour of Takashi Negishi analyses his contributions to the history of economic theory. Economists paying tribute within this volume include Neri Salvadori, Laurence Moss, and Joaquim Silvestre. Review "Great economists misinterpreted", so maintained Takashi Negishi in his presidential address of the Econometric Society, 1993. He showed how rich was the historical development of economics even from the eyes of a modern theoretical theoretician. A group of historians of economics examine Negishi's works in the history of economics and wish to proceed further. Kiichiro Yagi (Kyoto University, Japan). "Takashi Negishi has played a vital role in bridging the modern divide between economists and historians of economics. He has created a path for non-historians of economists, especially economic theorists, to enter a study of the history of economics, particularly on the topics of classical economics, Marxian economics, neo-classical economics and Keynesian economics," E.
