About The Book
Recharting the History of Economic Thought is a ground-breaking textbook that takes a thematic approach to the history of economic thought. By exploring current economic issues and the arguments of key economists, this book brings economic theory into a contemporary context, helping readers understand its relevance to today's society and economy.

The innovative approach encourages readers to engage with different economic perspectives, highlighting the strengths, weaknesses, and practical applications of various theories. Drawing from courses developed by the author, this text critically examines neoclassical economics while introducing broader, often conflicting, economic propositions. This approach allows for critical reflection and a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

Recharting the History of Economic Thought is an invaluable resource for students of History of Economic Thought, Development of Economic Ideas, Economic Thought and Policy, and Developing Economic Thinking. It will also be useful for those interested in a pluralist approach to economics.
