Between 1950 and 1967 the International Economic Association undertook a major task - to select, translate and publish important articles by leading economists of the first half of the Twentieth-Century which had appeared only in non-English-language journals and which had not therefore had the wider circulation and impact on the discipline which they deserved. The twelve collections reprinted here as six volumes include the best-known European economists writing in the following areas: general economics and methodology; prices and allocation theory; macro-economics, monetary theory and distribution; international economics; public finance, monetary and fiscal policy, social accounting; communist and Marxist economics; welfare economics and public utility pricing; history of economic thought and biography; and economic development and growth.
