Giving Meaning to the History Of Economic Thinkers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
If you are like me, you were probably turned-off by economics in school with all the graphs and formulas to determine how many widgets to make, and sell at what price. I have found over the years though, that having an understanding of economic theory is very important to critical thinking, especially in terms of management, politics, and economics in general. Malabre's Lost Prophets is a very friendly introduction to the various economic thinkers of the last 100 years. His journalistic writing style draws the reader into the thinkers realm, and explains the theory and history related to each "prophet."The book is well written and easy to read. I have found it to be a complement to my other scholarly reference material.
