The Worldly Philosophers

Robert L. Heilbroner (1919- ) is the Norman Thomas Professor of Economics at the New School for Social Research. He has two children and currently resides in New York City. Heilbroner graduated summa cum laude from Harvard in 1940 with a degree in history, government, and economics, and worked briefly for the Office of Price Administration. After service in the Army during World War II, he took a job as a business economist with a large commodity-trading house. However, he soon decided that he liked writing more than office work and took a year's leave. He never went back to business.For two decades, thousands of instructors have used The Worldly Philosophers as an introduction to the lives and thoughts of the great economists. Sales of all editions of this book have been estimated at approximately two million. The combined sales of all the economics books written by Heilbroner, counting joint authorships, may make him the top-selling economics authors of all time. In his writing Heilbroner brings an economic point of view to social and political problems.

The final revision of this classic bestseller, the 7th edition defines the common thread linking the world's greatest economic thinkers and explores the philosophies that motivate them. Hailed by Galbraith as a "brilliant achievement", "The Worldly Philosophers" with over 2 million copies sold worldwide, not only enables us to see more deeply into our history, but helps us to better understand our own times. Heilbroner provides the new theme that connects thinkers as different as Adam Smith and Karl Marx: the desire to understand how a capitalist society works. A new chapter conveys a concern that today's increasingly "scientific" economics may overlook fundamental social and political issues that are central to economics.

有多少人被中文书名误导而来呢？原书名the wordly philosohters，在中文图书市场无论如何也不法成为畅销书的。 原来经济学只有300年历史。原来这是一部经济学史，一部经济学家史。 之前发现，哲学入门就是学哲学史。但是经济学史绝非入门好课程，至少得看完一套教科书，才能明...

翻译的很棒！！！这个必须要赞！！！书的内容也很不错。。。 这本书是作者在读研时写的这本书，距现在都已经都几十年了。 从亚当斯密年代到现代的各大主流经济学家的经济代表思想，经济学的历史。简单易懂，可以了解到历史上个经济学家的思想。  

经济学一代一代传承下来，一代一代向前发展。尊重前人的研究成果，就是尊重历史。后来居上固然是一个规律，代表一种趋势，但后人总是站在前人的肩膀上才能站得更高，看得更远。 当我们说某些经济学家的学说或观点经过滞后的验证而被确认为经济学创新时，并不意味着它们会一直...

《哈佛极简经济学》是一本有用的书 - 不仅适用于大学生，也适用于希望理解经济学的任何人。基本上这本书提供了三个好处： 1.简单而全面地解释伟大的经济学家的观点。它让读者洞悉这些经济学家的生活和经济史。罗伯特L.海尔布隆将他们的概念置于恰当的背景下，从而解释他们的哲...  

用户评价

初遇地居然是日文版地，估计看完这个会看看英文版。实在是本有趣的写经济学者的书

深入浅出，脉络清晰

The best and most accessible book to understanding of the economic ideas that profoundly shaped the world.

已故作家和思想家的作品。深邃的视野，华丽的文笔，适可而止的幽默，虽然不是一本有趣好玩的书，但无疑是精品中的精品

Fun, could be useful as general knowledge, but no practical benefit from reading, as with most historical literature. One of the basic books for aspiring economists.
