The Worldly Philosophers is a bestselling classic that not only enables us to see more deeply into our history but helps us better understand our own times. In this seventh edition, Robert L. Heilbroner provides a new theme that connects thinkers as diverse as Adam Smith and Karl Marx. The theme is the common focus of their highly varied ideas — namely, the search to understand how a capitalist society works. It is a focus never more needed than in this age of confusing economic headlines. In a bold new concluding chapter entitled "The End of the Worldly Philosophy?" Heilbroner reminds us that the word "end" refers to both the purpose and limits of economics. This chapter conveys a concern that today's increasingly "scientific" economics may overlook fundamental social and political issues that are central to economics. Thus, unlike its predecessors, this new edition provides not just an indispensable illumination of our past but a call to action for our future.

评论 ······

通俗易懂，读起来很有趣

好評。在經濟學上比The Ordinary Business of Life覆蓋面更窄一些，但是在傳記和歷史上更expansive. 更適合作為introductory reading. Utopian的section是Backhouse沒有cover的（Henry George和Hobson我也不記得）。 相對來講比較同情socialist，雖然批Marx的時候也挺兇的。Schumpeter真的…

可惜是上一个版本的

其实什么都不记得.不懂为啥当时读的时候Keynes是变态,Marx完全在crap呢.果然人的思想还是会改变的.
