John Kenneth Galbraith
A brilliant achievement.
The New York Times
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.
Leonard Silk
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.
Lester Thurow
The Worldly Philosophers, quite simply put, is a classic....None of us can know where we are coming from unless we know the sources of the great ideas that permeate our thinking. The Worldly Philosophers gives us a clear understanding of the economic ideas that influence us whether or not we have read the great economic thinkers.
Paul Samuelson
Sinclair Lewis's Arrowsmith inspired several readers to become Nobel laureates in biology. Robert Heilbroner's new edition of The Worldly Philosophers will inspire a new generation of economists.
作者简介
ROBERT L. HEILBRONER has been studying the great econo- mists ever since he was introduced to them in Harvard Uni- versity in 1936. He was graduated summa cure laude and Phi Beta Kappa and went on to practice economics in govern- ment and business and then to complete his graduate studies at the New School for Social Research. The Worldly Philoso-phers, his first book, achieved an immediate suecess with its publication in 1953 and has been translated into three dozen languages and become a standard introduction to economics in scores of colleges and universities. Most recently, Twenty-First Century Capitalism and Visions of the Future have also
reached a wide public, both academic and general. Dr. Hell-broner, Norman Thomas Professor of Economics at the New School, has lectured before many business, government, and university audiences, and has received numerous honors in-eluding election as vice president of the American Economic Association and nomination as Scholar of the Year by the New York State Council of the Humanities. He is married and lives in New York City.
