  • Friedrich Engels and Marxian political economy

    This book rejects the commonly encountered perception of Friedrich Engels as perpetuator of a "tragic deception" of Marx, and the equally persistent body of opinion treating him as "his master's voice". Engels's claim to recognition is reinforced by an exceptional contribution in the 1840s to the very foundations of the Marxian enterprise, a contribution entailing not only the "vision" but some of the building blocks in the working out of that vision. Subsequently, he proved himself to be a sophisticated interpreter of the doctrine of historical materialism and an important contributor in his own right. This volume serves as a companion to Samuel Hollander's The Economics of Karl Marx (Cambridge University Press, 2008).

  • Historical Perspectives on Modern Economics

    This book argues that the work of the Austrian economists, including Carl Menger, Joseph Schumpeter, Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek, has been narrowly interpreted. Through a study of Viennese politics and culture, it is demonstrated that the project they were engaged in was much broader: the study of civilization.

    The book delves into the broader implications of the Austrian economists' work, highlighting their engagement with Viennese politics and culture as a defense of liberal civilization. Erwin Dekker emphasizes how figures like Carl Menger and Friedrich Hayek viewed their roles as stewards of civilization rather than merely social scientists. This perspective is rooted in the intellectual environment of interwar Vienna, where their ideas were shaped by the political challenges of the time. The study reveals a nuanced understanding of their contributions beyond traditional economic theory.
