Description

Explore the evolution of western economic thought with Theories of Surplus and Transfer. This Routledge Revival publication provides a deep analysis of the history of economics, tracing ideas from Petty to Supply-Side theory. By examining the long-standing controversies surrounding productive labour and its products, this book offers a unique perspective on how value and welfare are understood. Readers will examine the historical use of productive and unproductive dichotomies as ways to define boundaries within the economy. A central theme of this work is the investigation into whether an economy truly generates a surplus. The text covers a wide range of influential figures and schools of thought, including the Physiocrats, Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and Karl Marx, along with his various admirers. This book is an essential resource for those studying the history of economic ideas and the debates that have shaped modern financial and business thought.
