Povijest ekonomske analize
Schumpeter's History of Economic Analysis (1954) is a monumental work that traces the development of economic thought from ancient times to the mid-20th century. Published posthumously, the work is the fruit of Schumpeter's life, and is considered a class
Schumpeter begins with the Greek philosophers and scholastics, analyzing how their concepts laid the foundations of economic thought. He then moves on to mercantilism, the physiocrats, and classical economics, with particular emphasis on Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill. He examines in detail their contributions to theories of value, distribution, and markets. The novel also explores the emergence of the marginalist revolution with economists such as Léon Walras and Carl Menger, and the development of macroeconomics, including the contributions of John Maynard Keynes.
Schumpeter emphasizes the distinction between "economic analysis" (the scientific approach) and ideologies, emphasizing the importance of methodology and mathematical modeling. He criticizes dogmatic approaches and promotes interdisciplinarity, linking economics with history, sociology, and philosophy. His concept of "creative destruction" emerges as a guiding thread, explaining the dynamics of capitalist development.
The work has been appreciated for its encyclopedic breadth, analytical depth, and Schumpeter's lucid style. Although dense and academic, it remains essential to understanding the evolution of economic thought and its impact on modern economics.
