A History Of Economic Theory And Method by Robert B. Ekelund Jr.
A clear, chronological survey of the development of economic ideas and analytical methods from ancient times through the twentieth century and into contemporary debates, highlighting major thinkers and schools—classical, marginalist, Marxian, institutional, Keynesian, neoclassical—and the methodological disputes that shaped them. It situates theoretical advances in their social and historical contexts, traces the increasing formalization of economics through mathematical models and econometrics, and examines how shifts in method influenced policy and research priorities. The work emphasizes continuity and change, showing how intellectual, institutional, and methodological transformations produced the diverse toolkit economists use today.
