A collection bringing together some of Viner’s most important contributions to economic theory and the history of economic thought, including: his classic article on ‘Adam Smith and Laissez Faire’ that “made him a recognised expert on eighteenth century”, as well as papers on pure theory, including ‘Price Policies: The Determination of Market Price’ which “more or less anticipated the whole of the Chamberlinian-Robinsonian revolution in microeconomics twelve years later” (Blaug).
