The New Institutionalist Economic History of Douglass C. North

Meer over het boek

The book critically examines Douglass North's New Institutionalist Economic History (NIEH), tracing its evolution from mainstream economics to a more heterodox approach. It explores North's original objectives in developing the NIEH research program and evaluates its success. By focusing on key themes and the final stage of North's theory, the author highlights both the strengths and weaknesses of his contributions. Additionally, the analysis addresses the broader implications for New Institutionalism across economics and social sciences, informed by contemporary philosophical debates.
