A History of Economic Theory: Classic Contributions, 1720-1980A History of Economic Theory offers a comprehensive account of the builders and building blocks of modern mainstream economics. Jurg Niehans shows how the analytical tools used by economists have evolved from the eighteenth century to the present. Niehans first surveys the development of classical economics from the scholastic and mercantilist traditions to Marx. He then follows the progress of marginalist economics from Thunen to Fischer. In the book's final section, he describes economic theory in the model-building era from Pigou and Keynes to Rational Expectations.Building his story around the economists themselves, Niehans presents a pantheon of economic theory. It includes the famous from Smith and Riccardo to Samuelson and Friedman, as well as detailed discussions of lesser-known figures who have nevertheless made classic contributions. For each theorist Niehans offers a biographical sketch followed by a description, interpretation, and critical assessment of his work. With the current revival of interest in the history of economics, economists will find A History of Economic Theory not only a rich source of information but also a challenging analysis of the dynamics of scientific progress.ISBN 10: 0801849764ISBN 13: 9780801849763
A History of Economic ThoughtLionel Robbins's now famous lectures on the history of economic thought comprise one of the greatest accounts since World War II of the evolution of economic ideas. This volume represents the first time those lectures have been published.Lord Robbins (1898-1984) was a remarkably accomplished thinker, writer, and public figure. He made important contributions to economic theory, methodology, and policy analysis, directed the economic section of Winston Churchill's War Cabinet, and served as chairman of the Financial Times. As a historian of economic ideas, he ranks with Joseph Schumpeter and Jacob Viner as one of the foremost scholars of the century. These lectures, delivered at the London School of Economics between 1979 and 1981 and tape-recorded by Robbins's grandson, display his mastery of the intellectual history of economics, his infectious enthusiasm for the subject, and his eloquence and incisive wit. They cover a broad chronological range, beginning with Plato, Aristotle, and Aquinas, focusing extensively on Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus and the classicals, and finishing with a discussion of moderns and marginalists from Marx to Alfred Marshall. Robbins takes a varied and inclusive approach to intellectual history. As he says in his first lecture: "I shall go my own sweet way--sometimes talk about doctrine, sometimes talk about persons, sometimes talk about periods." The lectures are united by Robbins's conviction that it is impossible to understand adequately contemporary institutions and social sciences without understanding the ideas behind their development.Authoritative yet accessible, combining the immediacy of the spoken word with Robbins's exceptional talent for clear, well-organized exposition, this volume will be welcomed by anyone interested in the intellectual origins of the modern world.ISBN 10: 0691070148ISBN 13: 9780691070148
A Magia do Manuscrito. Coleção Pedro Corrêa do LagoProduct Description La escritura encierra una especie de magia que nos transporta a momentos cruciales de la historia, la creatividad y la vida cotidiana, y nos vincula íntimamente con sus protagonistas. Durante casi medio siglo, el escritor y editor brasileño Pedro Corrêa do Lago ha reunido miles de cartas, manuscritos, composiciones musicales, fotografías con anotaciones y dibujos, entre otros, en una de las colecciones de documentos escritos a mano más completas de nuestro tiempo.Desde un pergamino de 1153 con la rúbrica de cuatro papas medievales hasta la firma de Stephen Hawking en 2006, compuesta por una impresión de la huella de su pulgar, los elementos que aquí se recogen abarcan casi 900 años de historia, y nos acercan a escritores, artistas, compositores, figuras políticas, intérpretes, exploradores, científicos, filósofos y revolucionarios cuyas acciones y creaciones los convirtieron en leyendas.En lugar de centrarse en un solo tema o una única época, Corrêa do Lago tomó la ambiciosa decisión de buscar documentos autógrafos importantes pertenecientes a ocho grandes áreas: arte, historia, literatura, ciencia, música, filosofía, exploración y entretenimiento. Los 140 extraordinarios documentos seleccionados para este libro, exhibidos por primera vez en una importante exposición en la Morgan Library and Museum de Nueva York, incluyen cartas de Lucrecia Borgia, Vincent van Gogh y Emily Dickinson, bocetos con anotaciones de Miguel Ángel, Jean Cocteau y Charlie Chaplin, y manuscritos de Giacomo Puccini, Jorge Luis Borges y Marcel Proust.La escritura a mano es uno de los medios más viscerales con los que dejamos huella de nuestra existencia. En un momento en que gran parte de nuestra comunicación se ha vuelto completamente inmaterial, esta colección llama la atención sobre la capacidad de los textos manuscritos para revelar la energía, el poder, la vulnerabilidad y la imaginación de la humanidad a través del tiempo. Review ”Corrêa do Lago nos muestra cómo es tener un trozo de la historia manuscrita entre las manos”. -BBC“¿Qué dijo Gauguin sobre Van Gogh a sus espaldas? Este nuevo libro revela las crudas anotaciones escritas a mano de grandes artistas”. -artnet“Tesoros de puño y letra. El lector que se aventura en la colección de Pedro Correa do Lago siente algo parecido al vértigo, porque el brasileño se ha empeñado en reconstruir el universo de aquellos a los que admira con piezas de sus amigos y familiares”. -El Cultural del Mundo“Un estupendo volumen profusamente ilustrado que reúne documentos en facsímil de la colección del editor brasileño Pedro Corrêa do Lago exhibidos en la Morgan Library de Nueva York. Si usted tiene una amiga/o tan fetichista como yo, este es un buen regalo”. -Babelia“La editorial TASCHEN reúne en un notable volumen, exquisitamente editado una notable colección de escritos a mano que recorre casi mil años de escritura”. -TELVA“Abrir suas páginas é como acionar uma maquina do tiempo.” -Estadao About the Author Christine Nelson es la conservadora de la Fundación Drue Heinz de manuscritos literarios e históricos en el Morgan Library & Museum.

Adolescents in Humanitarian Crisis: Displacement, Gender and Social Inequalities -Routledge Humanitarian StudiesAdolescents in Humanitarian Crisis investigates the experiences of adolescents displaced by humanitarian crisis.The world is currently seeing unprecedented levels of mass displacement, and almost half of the world’s 70 million displaced people are children and adolescents under the age of 18. Displacement for adolescents comes with huge disruption to their education and employment prospects, as well as increased risks of poor psychosocial outcomes and sexual and gender-based violence for girls. Considering these intersectional vulnerabilities throughout, this book explores the experiences of adolescents from refugee, internally displaced persons and stateless communities in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine and Rwanda. Drawing on innovative mixed-methods research, the book investigates adolescent capabilities, including education, health and nutrition, freedom from violence and bodily integrity, psychosocial wellbeing, voice and agency, and economic empowerment.Centring the diverse voices and experiences of young people and focusing on how policy and programming can be meaningfully improved, this book will be a vital guide for humanitarian students and researchers, and for practitioners seeking to build effective, evidence-based policy.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781003167013, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license.ISBN 10: 036776461XISBN 13: 9780367764616
