Origins of Macroeconomics

This volume forms part of a ten volume set on the origins of macroeconomics. The emergence of macroeconomics was probably the single most important development in economics in the twentieth century. The set draws on a broad, international range of sources, and encompasses works by lesser known thinkers who made significant contributions to the field, providing the definitive collection of materials on the origins of the discipline. <p><strong>Volume 1: The Roots of Modern Macroeconomics</strong></p><p> Cambridge</p><p> 1. <em>Alfred Marshall</em> and <em>Mary Paley Marshall</em>, 'Changes in the Purchasing Power of Money' and 'Market Fluctuations', <em>Economics of Industry</em>, London, Macmillan, 1879, pp. 150-167</p><p> 2. <em>Herbert S.
