Between History and Economics by Carlo M Cipolla
The discipline of economic history effectively started in the 17th century. However even now the identity of the subject is ambiguous, pulled as it is between the humanistic approach of history and scientific applications of economics. This book examines the methodological problems that have arisen from the clash of these two cultures, and aims to provide an account of the nature and substance of economic history.
CARLO M. CIPOLLA (1922-2000) was an Italian economic historian, Fulbright Fellow and professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Cipolla was awarded the International Balzan Prize for Economic History in 1995 and held honorary degrees in Italy and Switzerland. His classic treatise The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity was first published in 1988 and has been published in more than ten languages. Originally written in English, this is the first time it's being published in the US.
