Bibliography Of Historical Economics To 1980, A

Description:
Historians and economists will find here what their fields have in common - the movement since the 1950s known variously as 'cliometrics', 'economic history', or 'historical economics'. A leading figure in the movement, Donald McCloskey, has compiled, with the help of George Hersh and a panel of distinguished advisors, a highly comprehensive bibliography of historical economics covering the period up until 1980. The book will be useful to all economic historians, as well as quantitative historians, applied economists, historical demographers, business historians, national income accountants, and social historians.

Review:
'McCloskey and Hersh have produced a useful guide to the literature, and one that meets their stated objective of providing a 'usefully coherent' book which could serve 'as a starting point for further research and as a reminder for reading lists.'' Joshua L. Rosenbloom, Journal of Economic History
