反射的Eminent Economists

Edited by Michael Szenberg, Distinguished Professor and Honorary Chair of Business and Economics, Touro College and University System and Lall Ramrattan, University of California, Berkeley Extension and Holy Names University

In this collection of autobiographical essays, 26 prominent scholars detail their professional development, while offering insight into their lives and philosophies. With candor and humor they relate how they came to the field of economics, as well as how their views have evolved over the years.

‘This book should be called to the attention of every graduate student in economics if for no other reason than the guidance the authors provide on career choice, the socialization of economists, identifying topics worthy of study, and most important, on alternative views on what and how to teach economics.’
– William Becker, Journal of Economic Literature

‘We are indebted to Michael Szenberg’s persuasive powers in eliciting the self-analyses of economists . . . For these insights, the budding economist as well as the historian of thought should be grateful.’
– From the foreword by Kenneth J. Arrow
