Overview

[edit]
  • "Figures are part of the basic toolbox of the modern economist"[1]
  • "Diagrams are used in investigation and exploration leading to discovery. Diagrams illustrate a discovery arrived at by other means: observation, intuition, logic, mathematics..."[2]

History

[edit]
  • "... the two editors provide ... as a short history of the use of figures and diagrams in economics. In the latter, they give some insights into periods—that is, basically, pre-1870—that are not covered in the book, which focuses on modern economics. Following the introduction, there is an interesting appendix that lists curves/diagrams in chronological order of their “discovery”, together with the name of the first economist to draw them (pp. 20-23)..."[3]
