The Wealth of Ideas, very first published in 2005, traces the heritage of economic imagined, from its prehistory (the Bible, Classical antiquity) to the existing day. In this eloquently prepared, scientifically arduous and nicely documented book, chapters on William Petty, Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, William Stanley Jevons, Carl Menger, Léon Walras, Alfred Marshall, John Maynard Keynes, Joseph Schumpeter and Piero Sraffa alternate with chapters on other important figures and on debates of the period. Economic considered is noticed as establishing between two reverse poles: a subjective 1, based on the ideas of scarcity and utility, and an objective one dependent on the notions of bodily expenses and surplus. Professor Roncaglia focuses on the diverse views of the financial system and society and on their evolution more than time and critically evaluates the foundations of the scarcity-utility technique in comparison with the Classical/Keynesian method.
