This article gives a thorough critical review of Alessandro Roncaglia’s latest book The Age of Fragmentation: A History of Contemporary Economic Thought. The volume covers the antecedents of modern economics -the ideas of Wicksell, Keynes and Schumpeter in particular- followed by the post-war 2 ‘revolutions’ in microeconomics, macroeconomics and applied economics, including econometrics. Heterodox views of post-Keynesian economics; Marxism; institutional and evolutionary economics; post-utilitarian theorists; ethics, and welfare are also considered.

Keywords : Economic thought; fragmentation of economics; B1; B2; B3; B5.
