1. The slow evolution of traditional economic life -- 2. The emergence of new economic conditions, ideas, and theories -- The industrial revolution (1750s - 1850s) -- 3. Rapid changes in theory and in society - The evolution becomes explosive (1850s - 1920s) -- 4. The great depression and Keynesian economics (1930s-1940s) -- 5.

Economics through the looking glass mirrors the evolutionary sweep of history in the most pressing economic and social problems of today. Bowden generates a genuine historical perspective on the evolution of the Western World and the role economic forces play in that evolution. Because of its brevity and style, this book is eminently suitable for use as a supplement in all introductory economics and Western Civilization courses.
