BIBLIOGRAPHY
Background for this topic, and important bibliographies,
can be found especially in Joseph A. Schumpeter, History
of Economic Analysis (New York, 1954; published posthu-
mously), and Edmund Whittaker, A History of Economic
Ideas (New York, 1939). Other useful volumes are: Eric Roll,
A History of Economic Thought (New York, 1939; 3rd ed.,
1942); J. F. Bell, History of Economic Thought (New York,
1953); Alexander Gray, The Development of Economic Doc-
trine (London and New York, 1931); the last is less compre-
hensive than the others. Valuable for the history of “laissez-
faire” are D. H. Macgregor, Economic Thought and Policy
(Oxford, 1949); and Edward R. Kittrell, “'Laissez-Faire' in
English Classical Economics,” Journal of the History of
Ideas, 27 (1966), 610-20. Additional studies are Edwin
Cannan, A History of the Theories of Production and Distri-
bution in English Political Economy from 1776 to 1848, 3rd
ed. (London, 1924); Mark Blaug, Ricardian Economics: A
Historical Study (New Haven and London, 1958); and Paul
T. Homan, Contemporary Thought (New York, 1928).
