The worldly philosophers : the lives, times, and ideas of the great economic thinkers / Robert L. Heilbroner
Livre
Edité par Penguin Books - 2000 - Revised 7th edition
La 4ème de couv. indique : "With over two million copies sold worldwide, The worldly philosophers is one of the most widely read texts in one of the most widely read texts on the history of economics ever written . It defines the common thread linking the world's greatest economic thinkers from Adam Smith to Malthus, from Marx to John Maynard Keynes, and explores the philosophies that motivated them. This not only enables us to see more deeply into our history, but, through understanding how a capitalist society works, also helps us to understand our own times. Heilbroner argues that today's increasingly "scientific" economics may overlook fundamental social and political issues that are central to economics. He provides not just an indispensable illumination of our past, but also a call to action for our future."
