The Library of Economics and Liberty carries the popular Concise Encyclopedia of Economics, edited by David R. Henderson.
This highly acclaimed economics encyclopedia was first published in 1993 under the title The Fortune Encyclopedia of Economics. It features easy-to-read articles by over 150 top economists, including Nobel Prize winners, over 80 biographies of famous economists, and many tables and charts illustrating economics in action. With David R. Henderson’s permission and encouragement, the Econlib edition of this work includes links, additions, and corrections.
These entries are a mix of the building blocks of economics such as supply, demand, opportunity cost, property rights, information, and marginalism, and some basics about the world, in particular the United States, such as poverty in America
The entries are on various aspects of corporations, including financial structure, bankruptcy, the stock market, and the market for corporate control
As the category’s name suggests, entries in this category are on important historical developments, two of the main ones being the Industrial Revolution and the Great Depression
With extensive government regulation of many industries, there are many entries on aspects of that regulation, in industries ranging from agriculture, airlines, and energy to trucking and pharmaceuticals
