French economists and their reviews
Of all the social sciences, political economics is no doubt the one which most venerates its more illustrious ancestors. The same applies to reviews, whose history is so often shaped by strong personalities. But, whereas the old reviews represented the opinions of certain schools of thought, contemporary reviews contain scientifically formulated material. As an historian of economic thought, Luc Marco describes the genesis of the most well-known reviews and outlines the main stages of this affiliation of economy reviews, from their origins to the present day.
