New Ideas from Dead Economists,
by Todd Buchholz.  It was Keynes who said that,
" . . .
practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any
intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct
economist." In this very witty and easy to read 1990 book, Buchholz
gives us the low-down on the lives and powerful ideas of a number of
defunct economists--including Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, David
Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, Karl Marx, Alfred Marshall and John Maynard
Keynes. Buchholz's book is so easy and enjoyable to read that it's easy
to overlook the depth of the concepts it covers. Indeed, I would
suggest that the ideas contained in the pages of this excellent book are
among the most powerful and influential known to humanity. |
"If you read only one economics book this year, read this one." Lawrence H. Summers
"Precious few books on any academic subject succeed at being witty and amusing. This is one of them." William F. Buckley
