A journey through the ideas that shaped the global economy
What differentiates mercantilism from physiocracy? How did the theories of Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keynes revolutionize economic thought? And what challenges do artificial intelligence, inequality, and climate change pose to modern economies?

In this work, we explore the evolution of economic ideas from Antiquity to the challenges of the 21st century. From classical political economy to neoliberalism, from the rise of monetarism to new approaches in behavioral economics and complexity, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the main schools and theories that shaped the world.

With a rigorous and accessible approach, the book examines the great debates of economic history, highlighting their implications for the present and the future. Throughout the chapters, you will find:

  • Detailed analyses of the main economic currents and their historical impacts.
  • Fundamental concepts explained clearly and objectively.
  • Discussions on financial crises, industrial revolutions, and structural changes in capitalism.
  • Perspectives on the future of the economy, addressing themes like sustainability, digitalization, and global governance.
