| | History of economic thought - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The dominant form of market economics focuses on societies where property is owned by individuals, money has a rational basis, and profit comes from utilizing labor and capital to produce goods to be sold in the market—or capitalism. | | | The Marxist school holds that capitalism is based on the exploitation of the working class: the wages received by workers are always less than the full value of their labor, and the difference is kept by the capitalist employer in the form of profit. | | | The late 19th century also saw the "marginal revolution" or neo-classical economics, which altered the basis of economic reasoning to include concepts such as marginalism and opportunity cost. |

| | UNDERGRADUATE ECONOMICS HONORS THESIS: |
| | Comparisons of this period with the subsequent one are impossible given the near hyperinflation of the economy and the total absence of macroeconomic data for Cambodia from 1975 to 1986. | | | Economic activity was entirely managed by the state apparatus. | | | To be sure, there were classic market failures such as price distortions and high transactions costs courtesy of widespread corruption and bribery, but these failures exacerbated an even greater economic malaise: low levels of saving, low standards of education, and eroding purchasing power. |

| | Economic History Initiative |
| | There is a need for more ‘presentist’ economic history in Europe, which uses history to speak to contemporary debates about globalization, the international financial architecture, deflation, and other pressing policy issues. | | | As European integration progresses, the demand for a coherent account of European economic history, rather than a series of disjointed national histories, becomes more urgent; as does the need for more systematic comparative research. | | | Both theorists and applied economists are becoming increasingly interested in the development and impact of institutions, and economic history provides the ideal laboratory for economists interested in such issues. |
