The Growth of Economic Thought, 3rd ed.

In a new and updated edition of this classic textbook, Henry William Spiegel brings his discussion and analysis of economic thought into the 1990s. A new introductory chapter offering an overall view of the history of economics and a bibliographic survey of the economic literature of the 1980s and early 1990s have been added. Maintaining the link between economics and the humanities, Spiegel&;s text will continue to introduce students to a wide range of topics in the history of economic thought.

From reviews of previous editions:

&;The history of economic thought to end all histories of economic thought.&;&;Robert D. Patton, Journal of Economic Literature

&;The book is in the grand tradition of the history of doctrines. It is a history of economic thought broadly conceived&;and superbly written to boot. It is not to much to say that Spiegel&;s book will become and remain a leading text in the field.&;&;Warren J. Samuels, Social Science

The author conveys the essence of an idea simply and clearly, yet in a graceful style.&;&;William F. Kennedy, Journal of Economic Literature
