The Routledge Handbook of the History of Global Economic Thought offers the first comprehensive overview of the long-run history of economic thought from a truly international perspective. Although globalization has facilitated the spread of ideas between nations, the history of economics has tended to be studied either thematically (by topic), in terms of different currents of thought, or individually (by economist). Work has been published in the past on the economic thought traditions of specific countries, but this pioneering volume is unique in offering a wide-ranging comparative account of the development of economic ideas and philosophies on the international stage.
The volume brings together leading experts on the development of economic ideas from across the world in order to offer a truly international comparison of the economics within nation-states. Each author presents a long-term perspective on economics in their region, allowing global patterns in the progress of economic ideas over time to be identified.
The specially commissioned chapters cover the vast sweep of the history of economics across five world regions, including Europe (England, Scotland, Ireland, Italy Greece, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Sweden, Russia and the Ukraine), the Americas (the USA, Canada, Mexico and Central America, Spanish-Speaking South America, Brazil and the Caribbean), the Middle East (Turkey, Israel, Arab-Islamic Economics, Persia/Iran, North Africa), Africa (West Africa, Southern Africa, Mozambique and Angola), and the Asia-Pacific Region (Australia and New Zealand, China, Southeast Asia, the Asian Tigers, India.)
This rigorous, ambitious and highly scholarly volume will be of key interest to students, academics, policy professionals and to interested general readers across the globe.

is sometimes criticized as reflecting a strategy of forced internationalization, leading perhaps to dispute the value of any national tradition as such. At the same time the Italian tradition continues today in particular through the current revival of civil economy and its conception of the market. Contrary to political economics, Italian civil economists conceive of internationalization as a meeting point of the diverse traditions, which are enabled to communicate and enrich economic discourse
although they criticized the despoiling of such metals and their transfer to Europe, they proposed the promotion of productive activities. Where differences appeared was in the relevance assigned to each of the productive sectors. In Spain, authors such as Ortiz and González de Cellorigo referred to productive activities in general, whilst others opted for agriculture (Deza) or cattle breeding (Caxa de Leruela). Finally, the “Toledo group,” headed by Moncada, faithfully believed in the capacity

The main members of this school were Luis María Pastor, Manuel Colmeiro, Laureano Figuerola, Gabriel Rodríguez, José Echegaray, and Segismundo Moret. They all defended free exchange rates, control of public spending, balanced budgets, free establishment of banking institutions, and the unrestricted functioning of markets. Among their main

For example, different approaches to financial accounting based on geographical associations have been identified: a continental European approach leading to either stock or flow models (assets-liabilities or revenues-expenses), and a US approach leading to either a proprietary theory or an entity theory, both of which are based on inquiring into
