Details
Synopsis
Through accessible and highly readable biographical sketches of major philosophers, Robert Heilbroner explains, for the common person, the seemingly impenetrable world of economics. In the decades since its initial publication in 1953, Heilbroner's THE WORLDLY PHILOSOPHERS has achieved the status of a classic, being especially popular with undergraduates. For each thinker--Adam Smith, Malthus, Marx, Veblen, Keynes, et. al.--Heilbroner provides their historical context and their major contributions, most of which are still relevant today. His infectious love for his material, his breadth of learning, and his ability to break difficult things down, serve well as he shows how these men built a science based on observations of everyday life and their search for rules that made sense of it.
