ReviewsMary Woods has a warm reading voice equally adept at communicating the logic and the liveliness of these economic giants; I sense her smiling and even blushing at the seamier anecdotes., If ever a book answered a crying need, this one does. Here is all the economic lore most general readers conceivably could want to know, served up with a flourish by a man who writes with immense vigor and skill; who has a rare gift for simplifying complexities., Robert Heilbroner's The Worldly Philosophers is a living classic, both because he makes us see that the ideas of the great economists remain fresh and important for our times, and because his own brilliant writing forces us to reach out into the future.

Edition DescriptionUnabridged edition
SynopsisRobert Heilbroner's The Worldly Philosophers is the most widely read text on the history of economic thought ever written. Here, the great economic thinkers--from Adam Smith to Malthus, Marx to John Maynard Keynes--come to life in the context of their times. We come to see their ideas not merely as inspired works of the past but as commentaries that light up our own times. Millions of copies of this universally celebrated book have been sold in five editions and in two dozen languages. For over fifty years it has been the standard text in hundreds of introductory economics courses, educating and entertaining millions of readers, teachers, and students alike.
