In four volumes, "The New Palgrave Dictionary of Economics" brings together the knowledge of 927 of the world's leading economists, including 13 Nobel Laureates. The 1300 subject entries cover the broad themes of economic theory such as money, value, capital, equilibrium and growth, with over 655 biographies and 4000 cross-references. The book should provide an accessible introduction to any subject, for professionals, researchers and academics alike.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
For over 75 years, R.H. Inglis Palgrave's classic Dictionary of Political Economy stood largely unrevised. Under the skillful editorship of Eatwell (Cambridge), Murray Milgate (Harvard), and Peter Newman (Johns Hopkins), a thoroughly rewritten dictionary has been issued. This authoritative and comprehensive publication focuses on all aspects of modern economic thought. Only about 50 of the essays appearing in the original may be found among the 1916 signed entries, which include 655 biographies of economists past and present. The 927 scholarly contributors from around the world include 12 Nobel Prize winners in economics. Full, up-to-date bibliographies accompany the essays. Adequate cross-references, useful appendixes, and detailed indexing make this handsomely printed and sturdily bound set a worthy successor to Palgrave's magnum opus , which is still needed for historical material. Required by every library serving students and scholars in economics. Leonard Grundt, Nassau Community Coll. Lib., Garden City, N.Y.

Where is my Palgrave Dictionary of Economics????,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics: Four Volume Boxed Set (Paperback)
I'm soooo looking forward to getting this terrific Economics Dictionary/Encyclopedia. Wonder what's taking the publisher so long to get it out? Price is about one-third what the original cost. I thought of getting that original one back in graduate school (Ohio State University). But now the softbound will do just fine, as a welcome addition to my library. Ohhh, Palgrave, where ***are*** you??? Come to my ***mailbox***. Quickly, please........
