The first two texts on this list, one English and one German, were published at a low point for Ricardian economics, at the end of the 19th century. This was a period when the less abstract (Other Canon) tradition flourished, under the names of historical and institutional schools. In the United States this coincided with Thorstein Veblen’s 1898 article ‘Why is Economics not an Evolutionary Science’.
