The History of Economic Analysis is a major contribution to the History of the World Economic Thought by the Austrian Economist Joseph Alois Schumpeter (1883-1950).This work is an amplification of a former work, the Economic Doctrine and Method: An Historical Sketch, published in 1914. It now provides an almost complete history of the economic theory, from the Ancient Greeks to the end of the Second World War. The contents include considerations on the nature and techniques of economic analysis, contemporaneous developments in other sciences and on the sociology of economics; it deals not only with the major British economists, from Adam Smith to Maynard Keynes, but also with continental European economists, the writings of Plato and Aristotle, and Medieval Scholastics. Tratando a Economia como Ciencia Humana, Schumpeter apresenta-nos um extenso e fundamentado panorama da evolucao da analise e tecnicas da Economia, dos filosofos gregos ate John Maynard Keynes, passando por importantes economistas germanicos, franceses, italianos e medievais. Esta publicacao amplia obra anterior de 1914, disponivel online: Economic Doctrine and Method, cuja estrutura mantem-se neste novo trabalho, publicado no Brasil como Historia da Analise Economica, pela Editora Fundo de Cultura, em tres volumes.
