PALGRAVE STUDIES IN ECONOMIC HISTORY AN ECONO...

Without economic history  economics runs the risk of being too abstract or parochial  of
failing to notice precedents  trends and cycles  of overlooking the long-run and thus
misunderstanding 'how we got here'. Recent financial and economic crises illustrate
spectacularly how the economics profession has not learnt from its past. This important and
unique book addresses this problem by demonstrating the power of historical thinking in
economic research. Concise chapters guide economics lecturers and their students through the
field of economic history  demonstrating the use of historical thinking in economic research 
and advising them on how they can actively engage with economic history in their teaching and
learning. Blum and Colvin bring together important voices in the field to show readers how they
can use their existing economics training to explore different facets of economic history. Each
chapter introduces a question or topic  historical context or research method and explores how
they can be used in economics scholarship and pedagogy. In a century characterised to date by
economic uncertainty  bubbles and crashes  An Economist's Guide to Economic History is
essential reading. For further information visit http:  www.blumandcolvin.org
