Alan,
Last time I taught the history of political economy (2003-4 - a course for politics students) I used:
W K Tabb, Reconstructing Political Economy, Routledge 1999
However, it's quite a demanding read: more basic texts were:
R L Heilbroner,
The Worldly Philosophers, 7th ed. Penguin 2000
D Dowd, Capitalism and its Economics: a Critical History, Pluto 2000.
Hugo

School of Politics and International Studies,

I liked colander s pluralist history of economic thought. Paolo
Greetings!
One of these texts could be useful:
1)
Schools and Streams of Economic Thought, by Edmund Whittaker, or
2)
Property and Prophets: The Evolution fo Economic Institutions and Ideologies, by E. K. Hunt.
As always,
Moses

Hi folks
I have a request from a friend who has been asked to locate a standard history of economics text suitable for use on undergraduate and postgraduate courses, which includes Marxism (and deals with the latter in a scholarly
manner, not dismissively or Whiggishly). The idea is to translate this book so it’s a serious project. I recommended Roll’s history, but one problem is (in my opinion) that the later editions don’t cover Marx as well as the earlier ones.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Alan
