Abstract

This book provides preliminary information about Central European economic thought development for approximately four hundred years. It is an introduction to a history of economic thought in Central Europe. We perceive Central Europe as a compact territory of the four present-day countries: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and the Slovak Republic. This region represents a geographical concept that has acquired a political and a cultural undertone. Central Europe varies culturally, historically, politically, and economically from Europe’s other parts and regions. After the introduction, the next chapter discusses the emergence of economic thought and its evolution until World War I. Chapter 3 includes the period between the two World Wars. Chapter 4 concentrates on the socialist period, while Chap. 5 deals shortly with the period after the socialist system’s break-up. The Appendix presents an incomplete list of economists born in Central Europe who made careers in Western countries, mostly in the twentieth century. Finally, we conclude.
