=============== HES POSTING ======================== 
 
Three books in the history of economic thought that I found to be not only 
particularly helpful, readable, and insightful -- but also outstanding 
pieces of scholarship are: 
 
M. June Flanders, _International Monetary Economics 1870-1960_. 
 
Klaus Hennings, _The Austrian Theory of Value and Capital_. 
 
Frank Machovec, _Perfect Competition and the Transformation 
  of Economics_. 
 
My own special focus of research is in the history of the explanatory 
strategies of economics & economists.  With this focus in mind, I might 
recommend five additional titles. 
 
Deborah Redman's _The Rise of Political Economy as a Science_ 
 
Edward Grant, _The Foundations of Modern Science in the Middle Ages_. 
 
Richard Olson, _The Emergence of the Social Sciences, 1642-1792_. 
 
Fritz Ringer, _Max Weber's Methodology: The Unification of the Cultural 
and Social Sciences_. 
 
Bruce Caldwell, _Beyond Positivism: Economic Methodology in the Twentieth 
Century_.
