Russian and Western Economic Thought

Mutual Influences and Transfer of Ideas

Herausgegeben: Avtonomov, Vladimir; Hagemann, Harald

Beschreibung

This book examines the interrelations between Russian and European economics from the early 19th century to the present. It analyzes how Western economic thinking, such as classical economics and the marginal revolution, influenced Russian economic thinking and how Western economic ideas were modified and adapted to better reflect the specific Russian circumstances of the time. Moreover, the contributions in this book show how these modified ideas also influenced Western economists at the end of the 19th century, when Russian economics had reached the stage of professionalism and joined the international discourse on the discipline.

Written by an international selection of respected experts, this book provides an overview of the most influential Russian economists and covers a wide range of topics such as the marginal revolution, the specific influence of Marxism, the evolution of mathematics and statistics in Russia in the 1890s-1920s, and the unique experience of building a planned economy in the Soviet Union. It is intended for all scholars and students who are interested in the history of economic thought.

Rezensionen

"The present book is a rich source of information on many of these emigrants, and on their colleagues or predecessors who stayed and worked in less stimulating circumstances. The biographies run until the end of the twentieth century, because all the heroes of this book were gone when Leontief passed away in 1999. The editors and authors have produced well-written and well-documented texts on the lives and works of these economists in this wide-ranging book. I highly recommend it." (Wilfried Parys, History of Economics Review, June 3, 2024)
