Great Economists before Keynes

An Introduction to the Lives and Works of One Hundred Great Economists of the Past

The late Mark Blaug, former Professor Emeritus, University of London and Professor Emeritus, University of Buckingham, UK

This important book not only includes entries on familiar names, such as, Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx and Leon Walras, but also includes descriptions of less well known yet equally important economists. Mark Blaug demonstrates that modern economics is an accumulated heritage of specific ideas of individual economists.

‘Great Economists before Keynes is an excellent work of reference, as well as an exemplary brief guide to the history of economic thought.’
– Dennis J. O’Keefe, Times Literary Supplement

“这本书是极好地写。我能想到的no other book which comes anywhere near giving so much information in such a palatable and well-organized form. There are authoritative and well-rounded pictures of the individual economists which almost amount to a course in the history of economic thought rather than simply a reference book.’
– David Collard, University of Bath, UK
