Economic Theory and Economic Thought: Essays in honour of Ian Steedman by John Vint (Manchester Metropolitan University, UK)

Ian Steedman is recognised internationally as one of the leading economic theorists of his time and has made major contributions to the development of economic theory and economic thought, as substantiated by his work on Marx, Sraffa, Marshall, Jevons and Wicksteed. His contributions to economic theory include his work on time, international trade, capital theory and growth and distribution. This collection reflects the wide ranging interests of Ian Steedman and is a tribute to his outstanding contributions.

This edited collection brings together twenty two new essays by distinguished economists from around the world. The papers cover a wide range of topics including; international trade - an area in which Steedman has made significant contributions; Sraffa, the history of economic thought and theoretical papers - including Faustian Agents and market failure in waste production.

The essays in this book will be an invaluable source for economists interested in economic theory or in the evolution of economic thought. It will also be of interest to postgraduate and research students in economic theory and the history of economic thought.
