Description

"Essays in History is a collection of papers and articles covering a span across the twentieth century and delving into such diverse topics as economic and financial crises in the sixteenth century, retirement reading for bankers, and a first-hand account of the genesis and formation of the Marshall Plan."--BOOK JACKET. "Readers will find here a strong view on the need for economic history to guide theoretical research. They will also detect Kindleberger's doubtfulness regarding economic theory based on assumptions that all participants in society are honest, well informed, and make their judgments independently. And finally, readers will be led to the conclusion that, in light of these views, those who think that finance and the economy should be completely unregulated are woefully misguided."--BOOK JACKET.
