John Law: Economic Theorist and Policy-maker : economic theorist and policy-maker

Bok av Antoin E. Murphy
John Law (1671-1729) is most widely known outside economics as a rake, duellist and gambler. This intellectual biography of the Scottish-born economic theorist and policy-maker shows him to have been a significant economic theorist when economic conceptualization was very much at an embryonic stage. It also explains his ultimate failure.
