Biografisk notat
Edited by Heinz D. Kurz, Emeritus Professor of Economics, University of Graz and Graz Schumpeter Centre, Austria and Neri Salvadori, Professor of Economics, University of Pisa, Italy<i>‘Heinz D. Kurz and Neri Salvadori have prepared a superb companion that mirrors their deep understanding of classical economics and additionally their familiarity with the international scene of scholars who have worked on Ricardo’s work and his life.’</i>
- Volker Caspari, Œconomia,
<i>‘Although there are serious concerns, it cannot be denied that no other individual, or team, could invite so many commentators from all over the world to contribute articles and compile them into a volume on so many aspects of this genuine economist. The geographical distribution of contributors stretches from USA and UK through (most densely) continental Europe to Australia and Japan, thanks to which the monolingual Anglo-American reader can access the rich non English literature and tradition. The subject coverage extends not only to Ricardo’s economics, pure or applied, and to later economists on him, but also to his life, family, friends, business, religion, politics, and other subjects - a liberal materialization of the editors’ conviction that there is no essential variance between rational and historical reconstruction in the historiography of economics. The reader using this as a reference book should consult as many entries as possible, with the aid of the “See also” sections at the end of each entry. This volume seems, unlike the Ricardian world, to yield increasing returns to scale.‘</i>
- Shin Kubo, Journal of the History of Economic Thought,
<i>’As the contributions demonstrate, these scholars from different countries are authorities in their respective areas of Ricardian theory and often for the history of economic thought in general, as are the editors. . . it is encouraging that even nowadays there are still scholars with an intimate knowledge of the roots of our discipline. And, we should be grateful to the editors that they encouraged these authorities, brought together in this volume, to pass on their knowledge to future generations. They contributed to a volume that can be recommended emphatically as a true Companion because it belongs to the sort of books you will not read only once and then put it away. Actually, it should be on one’s book shelf because it is the sort of volume that merits consultation time and again.’ </i>
- History of Economics Review,
<i>‘. . .Kurz and Salvadori have done researchers on Ricardo a great service with their compilation of these essays.’</i>

The concise yet comprehensive entries are arranged alphabetically for ease of use with cross references and suggestions for further reading. The Companion will serve as the standard reference work for all those engaged in the field of classical economics. It will also be essential reading for scholars and researchers interested in the history of economic thought, macroeconomics and political economy.
