American institutionalism has been the principal alternative to the ideas of Marxian economics. By providing critiques of both neoclassical and Marxian economics, institutional economics has presented alternative ideas about the economy and about economics. The papers in these volumes are seen as representative of the institutionalist tradition and provide an introduction to the school and to the ideas of leading institutionalists.

Institutional economics is a school of heterodox economics, with a focus going beyond economics' usual concentration on markets to the exclusion of all else. Instead it looks more closely at human-made institutions and views markets as a result of the complex interaction of these various insitutions (e.g. individuals, firms, states, social norms etc).
