Making sense of economists and their world in a persuasive and
entertaining style, Arjo Klamer, the author of a number of
influential books including Conversation with Economists and The
Consequences of Economic Rhetoric, shows that economics is as much
about how people interact as it is about the models, the
mathematics, the econometrics, the theories and the ideas that come
from the enormous aggregate of economics literature. Knowing and
understanding economics requires both bookwork and mingling with
other economists.
Viewing the subject as a collection of conversations, Klamer
examines fundamental disagreements over the nature and purpose of
the discipline, addressing how it is that a discipline that so
permeates daily life is at once 'soft' and scientific, powerful and
ignored, noble and disdained and in a reader-friendly style -
without eschewing academic methodology demonstrates economics to be
a living, breathing discipline rooted in the real world.
Whether you are a student, academician, journalist, practicing
economist or interested outsider, Speaking of Economics will get
you interested in a conversation about economics.
