This edited volume traces the economic ideas of key writers and schools of thought across a significant period, ranging from Adam Smith and Malthus, through to Wicksell, Cassel, and Heckscher. The chapters relate poverty to income distribution, asserting the point that poverty is not always conceived of in absolute terms but that relative and social deprivation matters also. Furthermore, the contributors deal with both individual poverty and the poverty of nations in the context of international economy. In providing such a thorough exploration, this book shows that the approach to poverty differs from economist to economist depending on their particular interests and the main issues related to poverty in each epoch, as well as the influence of the intellectual climate that prevailed at the time when the contribution was made. This key text is valuable reading for advanced students and researchers of the history of economic thought, economic development, and the economics of poverty"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in the history of economics. 606 $aPoverty$xHistory 606 $aEconomics$xHistory 615 0$aPoverty$xHistory. 615 0$aEconomics$xHistory. 676 $a362.509 676 $a339.4609 702 $aLundahl$b Mats$f1946- 702 $aRauhut$b Daniel 702 $aHatti$b Neelambar$f1940- 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910861989703321 996 $aPoverty in the history of economic thought$94167677 997 $aUNINA
