"These essays reconsider economic thought in the light of modern theory, from Smith to Marx, and from Marshall to Keynes. Takashi Negishi discusses contributions made both in classical school and marginal revolution literature which are still significant to modern economic theory, and those heralding from Japan which have lacked exposure in the West." "This volume will appeal not only to scholars in the history of economic thought, but also to those economists who are dissatisfied with the current state of economics."--Jacket.
