At the time of his death in 1950, Joseph Schumpeter was working on his monumental History of Economic Analysis. Unprecedented in scope, the book was to provide a complete history of economic theory from Ancient Greece to the end of the second world war. A major contribution to the history of ideas as well as to economics, History of Economic Analysis rapidly gained a reputation as a unique and classic work.
As well being an economist, Schumpeter was a gifted mathematician, historian, philosopher and psychologist and this is reflected in the multi-disciplinary nature of his great endeavour. Topics addressed include the techniques of economic analysis, contemporaneous developments in other sciences and the sociology of economics. This inclusiveness extends to the periods and individuals who figure in the book. As well as dealing with all of the major economists from Adam Smith to Maynard Keynes, the book considers the economic writings of Plato and Aristotle, of the Medieval Scholastics and of the major European economists. Throughout, Schumpeter perceived economics as a human science and this is reflected in a volume which is lucid and insightful throughout.

A. S. had originally entitled this chapter ‘The Econometricians’; on the type-script he added ‘and Turgot?’ in pencil.; Chapter P2-5 Population, Returns, Wages, and Employment; Chapter P2-6 Value and Money1[Although this chapter was apparently written rather early, it was unfinished and not typed at the death of J. A. S. The manuscript pages were unnumbered and sometimes there were two or three versions of the same page. This chapter was put together with the assistance of Arthur W. Marget.; Chapter P2-7.; Part 3 From 1790 to 1870; Chapter P3-1 Introduction and Plan; Chapter P3-2 Socio-Political Backgrounds; Chapter P3-3 The Intellectual Scenery; Chapter P3-4 Review Of The Troops; Chapter P3-5 General Economics: A Cross Section; Chapter P3-6 of this chapter was written much earlier than the remainder of the chapter. The typescript was dated December 1943. It was obvious that J. A. S. intended to revise these pages on Senior and to make them the introductory section to this chapter. There were many notes clipped to the early typescript. There was no title for this section and no title for the chapter, but the remaining sections were relatively complete with titles for sections and subsections. This section is presented as written, although it lacks the proper introductory remarks and the revisions J. A. S. would have made.; Chapter P3-7 Money, Credit, And Cycles; Part 4 From 1870 To 1914; Part 5 Conclusion.
