The old issue of the relationship between economics and psychology has resurfaced recently mainly because of the rise of behavioral economics. The bulk of this literature deals with the relation between economics and psychology after the marginalist revolution. However, for many classical and pre-marginalist major authors, the issue of incorporatin...

Psychological ideas had always played a role on the formation of economic thought as can be seen in the works of many influential pre-classical and classical authors. Up to the beginning of the 20th century, there was almost no methodological objection regarding the incorporation of ideas from psychology into economic theories. After this period, a...

Although most of the marginalist economists' methodology was influenced by nineteenth-century classical physics, the work of Francis Ysidro Edgeworth represents the highest point of classical physics influence to the development of mainstream economic methodology. Subsequent leading theorists were not as explicit, although economic theory continued...

This article, by examining the two strands of thought developed during the period 1670-1770 in English economic thought with respect to the preferable wage rates, intends to evaluate the theoretical arguments which specify the pre-classical theses for or against low real wages and to analyse how the relationship between wages and individuals' work...

This article compares Schumpeter, Veblen, and Commons with regard to institutions setting up the paradigm of institutional evolutionary economics. Their theories are of a complex nature, and as such, it is very difficult to situate them in a clear-cut tradition. The main similarity is their opposition to the thesis that market economy is an indepen...

This paper aims to analyze and evaluate the various views and arguments of early classical and neoclassical economists concernin...
