Eric Roll's "A History of Economic Thought" (Third Edition, 1992) is a comprehensive and authoritative survey of the development of economic thought from ancient Greece to the late 20th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the major schools of economic thought, including mercantilism, physiocracy, classical economics, socialism, and modern macroeconomic theory. Roll discusses the contributions of key figures such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Thomas Malthus, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, and Milton Friedman, as well as the interactions and debates between different schools of thought. The third edition updates and expands the original work, incorporating new perspectives on the history of economic thought and covering recent developments in economic theory. Through his analysis, Roll aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the evolution of economic thought and its relevance to contemporary economic issues, making the book a valuable resource for economists, historians, and students of economic theory.
