The economic organization, by Frank H. Knight: A reader’s guide

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Generations of students at the University of Chicago during the 1930s and 1940s were introduced to economics by Frank H. Knight’s little textbook, The Economic Organization (EO). Originally written for classroom use at the University of Iowa in the mid- 1920s, the material in EO was intended as part of a larger textbook project.1 Knight continued to work on an economics textbook throughout the 1930s and early 1940s, but no book was ever published. EO, therefore, contains the only textbook material of Knight’s ever published.
