Seven
Economists Poster Exhibit
What are physiocrats? How did mercantilism help move the Middle
Ages out of feudalism? What is the "principle of population"
and who developed it?
The Seven Economists exhibit represents the theories of reknowned
economists and thinkers, from Ancient Greece through the Middle
Ages. From Plato to Adam Smith to John Maynard Keynes, these
are the minds that helped shape global economic systems.
The economic and social paradigms of some of the greatest minds
in history are presented in this historical study of the political
economy. While St. Thomas Aquinas advocated the permissibility
of private property in a feudal system, Karl Marx argued that
economics was dominating factor in history as expressed through
class struggle, and Adam Smith put forth his ideas on the "division
of labor."
This poster exhibit is located in the foyer of the IMF Center
auditorium. |
