Publisher Description
The Making of Modern Economics presents a bold and engaging history of economics—the dramatic story of how the great economic thinkers built today’s rigorous social science.
This comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the major economic philosophers begins with Adam Smith and continues through to the present day. It examines the contributions each one made to our understanding of the role of the economist, the science of economics, and economic theory. Each chapter highlights little-known and entertaining facts about the economists’ personal lives that had an influence on their work.
The fourth edition adds coverage of modern monetary theory, the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, minimum wage debates, Schumpeter and socialism, Malthus and immigration, and more.
The Making of Modern Economics is a valuable, engaging text for courses in the history of economic thought and political economy.
