| Summary: | The book presents in one volume the most important papers of Dr Grice-Hutchinson. It presents a fuller explanation than has hitherto been available of her argument that a 'Salamancan School' in the 16th century pioneered a utility and scarcity approach in value theory that led naturally, if not logically, to a rich statement of the quantity theory of money well in advance of other writers such as Bodin. In addition, Grice-Hutchinson offers insights about the nature and character of the Spanish contribution over several centuries from the preservation of Hellenistic Greek Literature until Renaissance Europe was ready to digest it, to the peculiar brand of Spanish Mercantilism found in the 17th century. This book will be welcomed all those interested in the history of economic and intellectual thought. |
