Recensioner i media

the thirteen economists represent what is essential knowing in economics by all cognisant readers, who are stimulated to reflect on what makes for“great economic thinking”. It is evident that, for all their diversities, the authors here celebrated showed a strong tendency to defy disciplinary boundaries – albeit without the imperialistic intent of today’s economics – in observance of the Keynesian rule that a good economist is never only an economist . . . Readers of different kinds will profit from this book and enjoy it. Though it eschews the technicalities of the specialist literature and is a pleasant read, the stories told are never oversimplified, even when complex theoretical constructs are tackled. - European Journal of the History of Economic ThoughtThirteen papers present accessible profiles of notable economists, highlighting the ways in which they have influenced attitudes toward market intervention and regulation, taxation, trade, and monetary policy. - Journal of Economic Literaturefor general readers wishing to develop a basic understanding of the economic ideas of major Anglophone thinkers, as well as Marx's economic ideas, the book is instructive. - Economic Record
