Worldly Philosophers E07

Best book ever written on economics. Economics is a dry science, but the author managed not only to generate interest but integrate over a period of 400 years. Right from Adam Smith to Joseph Schumpster. Great read.

A wonderful book...... Beneficial to those who are interested in political economy...... Loved Heilbroner's documentation and interpretation....

A very nice historical account of the development of economic ideas and the men behind those ideas!!

This book by Robert Heilbroner is a classic. Read just the preface first and you will realize the weight of the content. Very forceful writing by the author who knows his subject so well.

Great book ...but a bit difficult english for common indians.

It's much like the low quality books sold at train stations.

Simple and concise book for a beginner.

Superb !!!

Heilbroner has an easy writing style which seems as though he is talking to you. It has the essentials of the theories as they developed from Smith through to Shumpeter, but also great anecdotes about how extraordinary many of these thinkers were.

Very nice and good quality cover.

I loved this book. A very readable account of the lives and theories of great economist's.

Ultra interesante

In fact I ordered the book as a gift to send to my daughter, who had received it very fast, a day earlier than planned. I have twice read it some years ago. To me, it is a wonderful book every person must read in order to understand the world we live in. As a bonus, it is wonderfully written, an easy lecture and as captivating as a thriller. I warmly recommend it to everyone, be him young or old.
