----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This slight volume on the history of value and price theories comes nearer 
being a sketch than a monograph. The reason for so characterizing it is not 
its insignificance of bulk, but rather its compact form and concise 
presentation together with an easy and graceful touch and the absence of 
any attempt to follow the inquiry out exhaustively at any one point. It 
covers the history of doctrine since Adam Smith, with some slight reference 
to earlier writers; and shows such wide and intimate familiarity with the 
literature of the subject, and such sympathetic and at the same time 
critical appreciation of the many writers and points of view, as to leave 
the reader with a hearty regret that Professor Aschehoug has not chosen to 
deal more exhaustively with his subject.
