Talk:Principles of Economics (Menger book)

Startup comments

This is a quite important book, and the links it opens should be filled in. The list of economics topics should include some or most of them. I'd do it myself but I am not familiar enough with the history of such stuff as the diamond-water paradox, interesting as that is.

The fact that Smith accepted the labour theory of value sure is not properly reflected in other articles either. It belongs in political economy at least.

Other books sharing the same name

There's at least one other textbook entitled Principles of Economics: the one written recently by N. Gregory Mankiw, which is also of some historical significance and may warrant an article. --LostLeviathan 19:38, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I used that book. Very good and was/is very popular as an intro. But what historical significance do you mean? I don't think it espouses theories or ideas you couldn't find in other introductory eco textbooks. Perhaps a trivia section would be sufficient. Responsiblebum 16:26, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation

Shouldn't the Principles of Economics link go to the disambiguation page rather than to the Menger text, with the Menger text being moved to Principles of Economics (Menger) for consistency with the others? There's little reason to argue that Menger's work is more notable than Marshall's even if it was published earlier. Both books were influential on modern economics, but Marshall's arguably even more so (undergrads will generally learn about marginal utility by drawing Marshallian diagrams and rather than reading Menger and eschewing mathematics) Dtellett (talk) 17:46, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
