history of philosophy of economics  

Définition

  • The philosophy of economics, broadly understood as the philosophical reflection on economic matters, is almost as old as Western philosophy itself and dates back to the works of the ancient Greek thinkers Xenophon and Aristotle. More useful is a narrower understanding of the term as the systematic investigation of the nature and methods of the science of economics, which is contingent on the birth of economics (or political economy, as it was known then) as a discipline in the 18th century.
