Description: "From almost its beginnings economics has been shadowed by 'anti-economics'; a negative twin, which has mocked, denigrated and wished ill on the ideas of Smith, Ricardo, Mill, Walras, Keynes, Hicks and current economic thinkers. This book tells the story of anti-economics from the eighteenth century to the present day, and analyses its many forms: Right, Left, nationalist, historicist, irrationalist, moralist and environmentalist."--Jacket.
