Review: "Worlds of Political Economy explores the meanings and workings of political economy as knowledge and power in national, imperial, and transnational settings in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Instead of the conventional narrative with a focus on the differentiation between professional economics and political culture from the 1880s, this volume reveals the persisting significance of economic knowledge in political culture, civil society, and state and international organizations."--BOOK JACKET.
