Biography

Heinz D. Kurz is Professor of Economics at the University of Graz, Austria. Neri Salvadori is Professor of Economics at the University of Pisa, Italy.

"In this volume Kurz and Salvadori have once again placed both theorists and historians of thought in their debt; this is a highly stimulating set of essays" Ian Steedman, Reader in Economics, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK.

"With this volume on Interpreting Classical Economics Heinz Kurz and Neri Salvadori continue their immensely valuable work in the tradition of reconstructing the approach of the classical economists, and demonstrating the ongoing value of the classical approach for modern economic analysis. As always, they engage with the serious issues, employing the highest levels of analytical and historiographic skill, and all very elegantly presented." Tony Aspromourgos, Professor of Economics, University of Sydney, Australia.
