re 7513 I use: H. Landreth & D. Colander, History of Economic Thought, fourth edition 2002, Houghton Mifflin, Boston $24.95 (see http://www.college.hmco.com) This book devotes quite some space to heterodox economic streams. The fourth edition has much improved on the third edition (esp also on Marx). Besides the hetorodoxy issue, onother advantage of this book is that it devotes its last part four (chapters 14 to 17) to the history of current economics (roughly the second half of the 20th century; ch 17 on heterodox streams). A disadvantage is that it devotes relatively few space to Keynes (but more so on Keynesian economics). For next year I consider using: W.Samuels, J. Biddle & J. Davis (eds), The Blackwell Companion to the History of Economic Thought, Blackwell Oxford. About 25 chapters of each 8000 words, written by specialist of a particular stream of thought (one can select). To appear mid 2003.
