✦ Synopsis

This is a history of economic thought from Adam Smith to John Maynard Keynes - but it is a history with a difference. Firstly, it is history of economic theory, not of economic doctrines. Secondly, it includes detailed Reader's Guides to nine of the major texts of economics in the effort to encourage students to become acquainted at first hand with the writings of all the great economists.

"It is said there is only one Mark Blaug, the doyen of the history of economic thought. There are, in fact, five, each more remarkable than his predecessor. This last edition of his magnum opus - witty, serious; iconoclastic, devout; in its core unchanged, full of new insights - is the best yet. I cannot imagine a scholar's library - or for that matter a student's - without it."
Robert Heilbroner.
