Diocletian tried to save the Roman Empire with wage and price fixes\u2015a strategy that has not gone entirely out of style. Roger Backhouse takes readers from the ancient world to the frontiers of game theory, mechanism design, and engagements with climate science, presenting an essential history of a discipline that economist Alfred Marshall called \u201cthe study of mankind in the ordinary business of life.\u201d Backhouse introduces the many fascinating figures who have thought about money and markets down through the centuries\u2015from philosophers and theologians to politicians and poets\u2015and shows how today\u2019s economic ideas have their origins in antiquity. This updated edition of The Ordinary Business of Life includes a new chapter on contemporary economics and the rest of the book has been thoroughly revised.<\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 Princeton University Press; New edition (January 23, 2024) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 496 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 0691252017 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-0691252018 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1.25 pounds <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 5.75 x 1 x 8.75 inches <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The classic history of economic thought through the ages\u2015now fully updated and expanded Hesiod defined the basic economic problem as one of scarce resources, a view still held by economists today.
