The authors, all eminent scholars, show how to use economic thinking, economic models, and economic methods to enrich historical research. They examine such vital issues as long-term trends, institutions, labor-including an engaging dialogue between a labor historian and a labor economist-international affairs, and money and banking. Scholars and teachers of history will welcome this volume as an introduction and guide to economics, a springboard for their own research, and a lively and provocative source of collateral reading for students at every level.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe combined research experience of these authors encompasses many varieties of economics and covers a kaleidoscopic array of nations, subjects, and time periods.

Economists have the tools to be able to provide in-depth analysis, the historians have the meat and substance which is necessary, and a blending of the two is terribly important. \u003ci\u003eEconomics and the Historian\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable resource for this interchange.--Nobel Laureate Douglass C. North, author of \u003ci\u003eInstitutions, Institutional Change, and Economic Performance\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a superlative collection of essays for historians who would like to learn about economic history but lack much formal training in mathematics and economic theory. The essays present fundamental concepts of economic analysis in a clear and concise manner, and they show how these concepts can be applied to a variety of historical problems.\"--Ted W.

Each of the essays illuminates a different subfield of economics with numerous examples drawn from a quarter century of cliometrics. This book will make basic tools of economic historical analysis accessible and at times even entertaining to students (and colleagues) who have little or no background in economics. And it is guaranteed to enliven any course or seminar, as it did mine.\"--John H.
