Description

Author ofThe Worldly Philosophers, a 3-million-copy seller, Robert Heilbroner offers here a compendium of readings from the "worldly philosophers" themselves. The selections range from the earliest economic thought to such towering volumes as Adam Smith'sThe Wealth of Nations, Thomas Malthus'sEssay on the Principle of Population, David Ricardo'sPrinciples of Political Economy, and John Maynard Keynes'sThe General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money. Acting as "a docent, not merely an editor," he takes the reader through the core arguments with "brilliantly clear commentary" (New York Times Book Review).
