History Of Economic Analysis by Joseph A. Schumpeter
A sweeping, erudite survey tracing the development of economic thought from ancient times through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, examining how successive theorists framed problems of value, distribution, growth and capital and how methodological shifts—toward marginalism and mathematical formalism—transformed the discipline. Using close readings of original texts, it situates major figures and schools in their historical contexts, critiques their arguments, and highlights continuities and ruptures in concepts such as utility, rent, interest, and market equilibrium. The work emphasizes technical analysis, the evolution of economic categories, and the interplay between theory and institutional change, offering both detailed scholarship and evaluative judgments about the strengths and limitations of different approaches.
