Abstract
The 1500-1970 literature on the theory of production/the firm can be usefully divided into four approaches to the positive analysis of production or the firm: aggregate production, market structure, the representative firm and micro production. Each approach will be examined to establish the nature and development of the approach and the relationships between them.
Keywords: History of economic thought, theory of the firm, theory of production
