Description

Understand the origins of economic thought with A Brief Prehistory of the Theory of the Firm. While modern literature on the subject emerged around 1970, this book traces the concepts back much further, providing a clear overview of how these ideas developed over time. This text explores the foundation of the field, starting with the influential work of Ronald Coase and Frank Knight. It also examines the contributions of key economists who increased interest in the firm, including Armen Alchian, Robert Crawford, Harold Demsetz, Michael Jensen, Benjamin Klein, William Meckling, and Oliver Williamson. By covering an impressive timeline that spans from Antiquity, this Routledge publication offers a valuable perspective for students and professionals interested in business and economic history. It provides the necessary context to understand how the current mainstream economic understanding of the firm was built.
