Routledge Capital and Finance: Theory and History Book

Explore the intersection of finance and capital theory with this specialized volume from the Routledge International Studies in Money and Banking series. While financial economics is a common field of study, this book addresses the unexplored area of applying finance directly to capital theory. This text serves as the first comprehensive study of this financial application. It introduces modern financial tools, such as Economic Value Added (EVA), to provide a new perspective on economic concepts. Readers will gain insights into the average period of production through a financial lens, including detailed discussions on the dual meaning of capital. By examining capital as both a monetary fund and a broader economic concept, this book provides a unique framework for understanding how financial tools impact traditional economic theories.
