List Of Publications In Economics







MACROECONOMICS


Among the most important list of publication in economics are:


'' The Wealth Of Nations ''


Description: The book is usually considered to be the beginning of modern Economics . It begins with a discussion of the Industrial Revolution . Later it critiques the Mercantilism and a synthesis of the emerging economic thinking of his time. It is mostly known due to the idea of The Invisible Hand which is an often quoted phrase from the book. Its meaning is that people will unintentionally improve their community through pursuit of their own wants and needs. The Butcher, the Baker, and the Brewer provide goods and services to each other out of self-interest; the unplanned result of this division of labor is a better standard of living for all three.

Importance: Topic creator, Breakthrough, Influence, Introduction


'' Das Kapital ''


Description: '''''Das Kapital''''' is a political-economic treatise by Karl Marx . While not trained as an economist, Marx wrote this critical analysis of Capitalism and of the Political Economy from the perspective of a philosopher. Marx bases his work on that of the Classical Economists like Adam Smith , David Ricardo , and even Benjamin Franklin . However, he applies these authors' ideas critically, so his book is a careful synthesis of their ideas rather than a detailed development of any one thinker's ideas.

Importance: Breakthrough, Influence


'' General Theory Of Employment, Interest And Money ''


Description: The '''''General Theory of Employment Interest and Money''''' is generally considered to be the masterwork of the English economist John Maynard Keynes . To a great extent it created the terminology of modern Macro-economics . It was published in February 1936. The book ushered in a revolution, referred to as the "Keynesian Revolution", in the way economists and men in public affairs thought about the economy, and especially how they thought about the feasibility and wisdom of public sector management of the aggregate level of demand in the economy.

MICROECONOMICS



Theory Of Games And Economic Behavior


Description: a book by the Mathematician John Von Neumann and Economist Oskar Morgenstern . It contained a mathematical theory of economic and social organization, based on a theory of games of strategy.

This is now a classic work, upon which modern-day Game Theory is based. Game theory has since been widely used to analyze real-world phenomena from Arms Race s to optimal policy choices of presidential candidates, from vaccination policy to major league baseball salary negotiations. It is today established, both throughout the social sciences and in a wide range of other sciences.
