Economists seem to be everywhere in the media these days. But what exactly do today's economists do? What and how are they taught? Updating David Colander and Arjo Klamer's classic The Making of an Economist, this book shows what is happening in elite U.S. economics Ph.D. programs. By examining these programs, Colander gives a view of cutting-edge economics--and a glimpse at its likely future. And by comparing economics education today to the findings of the original book, the new book shows how much--and in what ways--the field has changed over the past two decades. The original book led to a reexamination of graduate education by the profession, and has been essential reading for prospective graduate students. Like its predecessor, The Making of an Economist, Redux is likely to provoke discussion within economics and beyond.
The book includes new interviews with students at Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Chicago, and Columbia. In these conversations, the students--the next generation of elite economists--colorfully and frankly describe what they think of their field and what graduate economics education is really like. The book concludes with reflections by Colander, Klamer, and Robert Solow.
This inside look at the making of economists will interest anyone who wants to better understand the economics profession. An indispensible tool for anyone thinking about graduate education in economics, this edition is complete with colorful interviews and predictions about the future of cutting-edge economics.

It is a relatively pleasure read. It does provide useful info on what to expect from graduate schools and the academia. The mediocre rating is a result of its academic writing style (dry...) and its incessant interpretations on those surveys. This book is indeed a product of a economist -- grounding in empirical research and rarely reaching out.
評分It feels so differently reading this book again. Hardly impressed. Maybe once you are in, you don't care what you used to care.
評分雖然這個主題換社會學或人類學傢就寫齣花瞭,但Colander畢竟本職還是經濟學傢,所以還是很老實按調查問捲的結果分析,評論也限製在博士生階段的學科設置問題上,隻是很謹慎的認為科係的學生篩選機製導緻一代代學生越發目光狹隘、同質化,經濟學教學脫離實際(但這種脫離實際的理論對社會産生什麼影響就不是本書的範圍瞭)。但他提齣的宏觀課程邊緣化以及主張把宏觀剔除齣core courses,卻不是一個簡單的學科問題,這背後經濟思想史的變遷很值得深究
