A History Of Economic Theories

""A History of Economic Theories: From the Physiocrats to Adam Smith"" is a book written by Karl Marx that explores the evolution of economic theories from the 18th century to the 19th century. The book is divided into three parts, each of which covers a different period in economic history. The first part focuses on the Physiocrats, a group of French economists who believed in the importance of agriculture and the natural order of the economy. The second part covers the classical economists, including Adam Smith, who emphasized the role of self-interest and the market in driving economic growth. The final part explores the rise of socialism and the critique of classical economics by thinkers such as Marx himself. Throughout the book, Marx provides detailed analysis of the economic theories of each period and the social and political context in which they emerged. This book remains an important historical text in the field of economics and is still widely read by scholars and students today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
