FOUCALT'S ARCHAELOGY OF POLITICAL ECONOMY IARA VIGO DE LIMA Księgarnia

Michel Foucault was one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th Century, having strongly influenced a large number of disciplines. He has played a fundamental role in the construction of new ways of thinking and radical changes in the development of Western thought.

This book reconstructs and assesses Michel Foucault's writings on the archaeology of knowledge, focusing on the emergence of political economy.

It relates it to three main areas of research in economics: methodology, historiography and studies on Adam Smith's context and writings. The volume demonstrates how Foucault went beyond offering a reinterpretation of the history of political economy, examining his inspiring notions and ideas. It provides a critical examination on how Foucault's archaeology relates to current debates in economics today.

This book is indispensable reading for all interested in the history and methodology of economics.

IARA VIGO DE LIMA is Professor of Economics at Federal University of Parana, Brazil.
