Routledge Knut Wicksell: Selected Essays in Economics, Vol 1

Explore the foundational ideas of one of economics' most influential figures. While Knut Wicksell's major books are accessible in English, much of his extensive body of work remained untranslated for decades. This volume from the Routledge Revivals series brings his essential research directly to students, academics, and researchers. This collection provides access to new translations of Wicksell's vital essays. It covers his significant research into marginalism and capital theory, offering deep insights into the mechanics of economic growth and value. Readers can also examine his perspectives on public economics and the causes of unemployment. Originally published in 1997, this volume serves as a necessary resource for anyone studying the history of economic thought. By including these previously unavailable articles, Routledge provides a more complete picture of Wicksell's contributions to monetary theory and fiscal policy. This book is an essential addition to any academic library focused on business, finance, and economic history.
