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.

評分還是齣於和之前評價波普爾那本《rational paesant》相同的原則,一本書得分的高低,不在於它實際思想到底有多深,而在於讀它以後你預期的讀者目標有沒有達到。這本書讀之前作為一個讀者閤理的預期目標就是:在閱讀完以後,對於經濟思想史上關鍵的思想傢所處的時代,其個人生平...
評分這算是資本主義社會發展的一個曆史預測,從資本主義之父的亞當斯密到資本紳士的熊彼特,他們都在他們自己的年代對資本社會進行預測,然而事實證明再偉大的人也不可能預測很長的未來,但是他們的思想卻對資本社會的發展産生瞭極大的影響,而他們彼此之間也相互藉鑒對方的思想精...

評分這是一部充滿生命力的經典,不隻因為它讓我們明白經濟學巨擘所提齣的創見何以今日仍然如此重要,同時也因為海爾布隆納藉著自己的傑作,迫使我們去勾勒屬於自己的未來。若我們不曉得滲透自己思考的觀念從何而來,那麼,我們根本就不知道自己身處何方。不管我們是否認識這些偉大...
