Böcker av A. W. Bob (University of Nottingham Coats

Following an introduction to the key ideas of Coats, this work focuses on two themes: the difference between British and American economics, both in content and in the practice of the profession; and the interrelationships between economic ideas, events (or conditions) and policy issues.

Offers a contribution to the history of economic thought, economic methodology and the sociology of economics. This volume represents a substantial part of Coats' work on the sociology and professionalization of economics.
