Summary

"A History of Economic Doctrines" by Charles Gide is a detailed journey through the world of economic ideas, starting with the Physiocrats and continuing to more modern times. The book explores the thinkers and principles that have shaped how we understand money, trade, and the economy. Early on, it shines a light on the Physiocrats who believed in a "natural order" and saw land as the main source of wealth, helping to explain how their groundbreaking ideas paved the way for future economic theories to either agree or disagree with them. By studying these thinkers together, the book builds a wider picture of where our economic understanding has come from today.
