"Psalidopoulos’ great historical synthesis is an important account of the history of economic thought in Greece from the creation of the Greek State in 1830 to the national debt crisis of 2010...[T]his book recounts this story remarkably."Michel S. Zouboulakis, The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought"Michalis Psalidopoulos' integration of two centuries Greek economic history with the history of economic thought is done in a paradigmatic way. The book lays stress on the dissemination of ideas of major economists and schools of economic thought, and the way these ideas were perceived and implemented in Greece either to stimulate economic growth or to deal with the harsh reality of economic slowdowns. The book extends the analysis and applied policies to the great recession of 2007 that affected Greece more than any other country."Lefteris Tsoulfidis, University of Macedonia
