Description

Economic Theory and Policy in Context brings together a selection of R. D. Collison Black's essays on the relationships between economic theory and policy, viewed historically. Beginning with a series of essays concerned with economists and economic policy in nineteenth century Ireland, the volume continues with a section entitled 'In and Out of the Mainstream' featuring studies of the work of economists, both famous and obscure, which reflect their author's special interest in the relation between economics and biography. The final section on the economics of W. S. Jevons brings together papers which encouraged a revival of interest in that economist, including two which were previously unpublished.
