Dupont B: The History of Economic Ideas

The History of Economic Ideas

Economic Thought in Contemporary Context

Chapter 1: An Overview of the History of Economic Ideas Chapter 2: The Ethical Foundations of EconomicsChapter 3: Property Rights from Plato to the 21st Century Chapter 4: The Emergence of Modern Price Theory Chapter 5: Money, Lending and Interest Chapter 6: Public Finance in Historical Perspective Chapter 7: Depressing Thoughts - Theories of Recessions and Depressions Chapter 8: Economic Growth Theory in Historical PerspectiveChapter 9: The History of International Trade Theory Chapter 10: Population, Environmental and Resource Issues in Historical Perspective

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.

Ethnic and Indigenous Business Studies

How could 
 Homo sapiens
 survive for so long when all other 
 Homo
 went extinct? This multidisciplinary book provides a detailed synthesis of published knowledge by archaeologists and other scientists on the production, trade and daily activities of ancient peoples. It locates populations within the changing environment of the planet (glaciations and deglaciations, wet and dry climates, physical, economic, and social periods over the long spans of the Pleistocene and Holocene). Research for this work was sourced from various fields, including archaeology, anthropology, ethnology, geology, zoology, and paleontology. Emerging disciplines such as genomics, paleobiology, paleomedicine and zoopharmacognosy contribute new insights into the living conditions and challenges that confronted our ancestors.
 The first part of the book focuses mainly on Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, particularly North America (Canada, United States, and Mexico), although some sources and examples are drawn from other regions of the world. Through case studies based on scholarly records, ancient networks covering distances of thousands of kilometers in Africa, North America and Eurasia are described. The second part addresses ancient modes of survival, communication, storytelling, and migration of Indigenous populations in their traditional natural environments, from the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras to the present. Diet, horticulture, and modes of land, river, and sea transport are detailed, in the context of migration routes from Africa to Eurasia and in the Pacific and the Americas. The third part deals with the past seven and the next seven generations. It provides a description of recent and present-day Indigenous peoples and communities and their interactions with governments and industries. Case studies illustrate issues about the legitimacy of foreign or domestic companies operating on Indigenous territories, both in North America and some other continents. The traditional mindset of certain Indigenous populations in North America is described. The book concludes with an examination of how business legitimacy may be established and the types of engagement approaches recommended by Indigenous communities’ leaders.

Paleoeconomics and Indigenous Issues

The legal concepts that can fundamentally inform the economics of institutions In Legal Institutionalism, the eminent economist Geoffrey Hodgson proposes a new analytic approach for understanding modern economic institutions. Law helps to constitute some of the key features of modern market economies. Moreover, there is evidence that many people believe that obeying the law is important in itself, especially when it is deemed just, legitimate, and uncorrupt. Consequently, he argues, the role of law must be considered in analyses of the nature and dynamics of modern economic institutions and the motivations of economic agents. Hodgson lays out the basic approach and intellectual assumptions of legal institutionalism, citing such thinkers as Adam Smith and Karl Marx as well as insights from institutional economics, law, philosophy, psychology, and social theory. He considers how legal institutions emerged and evolved throughout history, stressing their importance in large-scale, complex economies. Informal rules and relations are vital as well, he explains, but these often rely on face-to-face contact, with smaller numbers of people. He shows that by examining relevant legal rules and relations alongside important informal rules, we can improve our understanding of the nature and role of property, contracts, money, and firms. Revisiting the socialist calculation debate on the feasibility of socialist planning, Hodgson argues that both sides paid insufficient attention to legal issues and underestimated the importance and inevitability of mixed economies. This milestone work by Hodgson has major implications for both theory and policy, suggesting new approaches to economic development, the theory of the firm, and countering the policy extremes of markets versus states.

Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year Award How 1,000 years of global history show why technological and economic progress is often followed by stagnation and even collapse In How Progress Ends, Carl Benedikt Frey challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world's largest, most advanced economies--the United States and China--have fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change. By examining key historical moments--from the rise of the steam engine to the dawn of AI--Frey shows why technological shifts have shaped, and sometimes destabilized, entire civilizations. He explores why some leading technological powers of the past--such as Song China, the Dutch Republic, and Victorian Britain--ultimately lost their innovative edge, why some modern nations such as Japan had periods of rapid growth followed by stagnation, and why planned economies like the Soviet Union collapsed after brief surges of progress. Frey uncovers a recurring tension in history: while decentralization fosters the exploration of new technologies, bureaucracy is crucial for scaling them. When institutions fail to adapt to technological change, stagnation inevitably follows. Only by carefully balancing decentralization and bureaucracy can nations innovate and grow over the long term--findings that have worrying implications for the United States, Europe, China, and other economies today. Through a rich narrative that weaves together history, economics, and technology, How Progress Ends reveals that managing the future requires us to draw the right lessons from the past.

*A New York Times Notable Book * A Financial Times Best Book of the Year 'A learned, formidable and vivid story... Readers around the world will study and ponder this monumental work of history, agreeing and arguing with it, all the while affirming its generational importance, for decades to come' The New York Times 'Epic... Read this book and you will learn innumerable things you did not previously know culled from places you have never been' Financial Times A brilliant global narrative that unravels the defining story of the past thousand years No other phenomenon has shaped human history as decisively as capitalism. It structures how we live and work, how we think about ourselves and others, how we organise our politics. Sven Beckert situates the story of capitalism within the largest conceivable geographical and historical framework in this fascinating new book.Capitalism, argues Beckert, was born global. Emerging from merchant communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, capitalism's radical recasting of economic life rooted itself only gradually. Then it burst onto the world scene, as European states and merchants built a powerful alliance that would propel them across the oceans. This epic drama corresponded at no point to an idealised dream of free markets. All along, state-backed institutions and imperial expansions shaped its dynamics.Capitalism decentres the European perspective, highlighting agency, resistance, innovation and ruthless coercion around the world through to the present with the rise of Asian economies, particularly China. Sven Beckert doesn't merely add up capitalism's debits and credits in this monumental book, but allows us to think afresh about the past to help us re-imagine the future.

Evidence over Ideology: Thomas Sowell's Intellectual LegacyEconomist and social theorist Thomas Sowell has shaped how millions think about markets, culture, and public policy through bestselling books, syndicated columns, and viral videos that have reached new generations.This collection brings together leading scholars--Steven Pinker, Condoleezza Rice, Niall Ferguson, John H. Cochrane, Glenn C. Loury, Roland G. Fryer Jr., and others--to honor Sowell's extraordinary career spanning six decades and more than 40 books.These essays don't just celebrate--they extend and challenge Sowell's ideas with fresh research and contemporary analysis, applying his core insights to today's most pressing questions: <ul><li>Culture and Economics: Glenn C. Loury and Roland G. Fryer Jr. explore how cultural forces shape economic outcomes, testing Sowell's claims about the relationships between norms, institutions, and inequality.</li><li>Migration and Ethnicity: Nancy Qian follows Sowell's tracks to analyze how immigrant communities develop economically, examining cultural transmission across generations.</li><li>Developing Economies: Paola Sapienza applies Sowell's framework to contemporary challenges in Vietnam and other developing nations, examining state-owned enterprises, industrial policy, and the knowledge problem in centralized planning.</li><li>Education and Human Development: Eric A. Hanushek and Margaret E. Raymond apply Sowell's framework to debates about school choice, charter schools, and what drives student achievement.</li><li>Knowledge and Public Policy: Steven Pinker and others examine the limits of expertise and how incentive structures shape decision-making in government and institutions.</li><li>Late-Talking Children: Stephen Camarata examines how Sowell challenged medical orthodoxy through personal research on bright children who talk late, questioning expert consensus even beyond economics.</li></ul>Sowell has made an impact by following evidence wherever it leads--regardless of inconvenient truths. This volume shows why his analytical approach remains essential to policy professionals, scholars, and anyone questioning conventional wisdom about inequality, education, and government intervention.

"The Business of Better Health: A Guide to Strategic Portfolio Management" provides healthcare leaders with a practical and comprehensive framework for optimizing their organization's investments and initiatives through effective portfolio management.In today's complex and resource-constrained healthcare environment, organizations must make strategic choices about where to allocate resources to achieve the greatest impact on patient outcomes, operational efficiency, and financial sustainability. This book recognizes that healthcare delivery is a multifaceted business, requiring a disciplined approach to prioritizing projects, managing risks, and aligning investments with the overarching mission of improving health. "The Business of Better Health" is unique in its specific focus on the healthcare industry and its emphasis on the strategic application of portfolio management principles. Unlike general project or portfolio management texts, this book addresses the unique challenges and opportunities of the healthcare landscape, including the shift to value-based care, the rise of consumerism, and rapid technological advancements. It goes beyond theory, offering real-world examples, case studies, and practical tools that readers can immediately apply to their own organizations. This book will also discuss how strategic portfolio management can help organizations achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.By demonstrating how to connect strategy, execution, and value realization, "The Business of Better Health" empowers healthcare leaders to make informed decisions, drive organizational transformation, and ultimately deliver better health outcomes for the populations they serve.

Behavioural Economics and Experiments

The award-winning author of The Entrepreneurial State and Mission Economy offers a scathing indictment of a global financial system that incentivizes taking over making and extraction over creation."A stimulating analysis of the underlying causes of inequality and growth which forces us to confront long-held beliefs about how economies work and who benefits." -Martin Wolf, Financial TimesThe Value of Everything is a penetrating and passionate argument that modern capitalism has failed to clearly delineate between value creation and value extraction. As economist Mariana Mazzucato shows, from Silicon Valley to Wall Street and beyond, foggy notions of value create confusion between rents and profits, reward extractors rather than creators, and distort the measurements of growth and GDP. Asset management companies profit exorbitantly off of income generated elsewhere; big pharma uses value-based pricing to justify astronomically high prices for vital medicines that are publicly funded. In the process, innovation suffers and inequality widens. Now updated with a new preface, The Value of Everything reignites the debate over how we measure value in our society-and in so doing, shows how we can shape our economy to be more innovative and inclusive.
