Author of The Worldly Philosophers, a 3-million-copy seller, Robert
Heilbroner offers here a compendium of readings from the "worldly
philosophers" themselves. The selections range from the earliest
economic thought to such towering volumes as Adam Smith's The
Wealth of Nations, Thomas Malthus's Essay on the Principle of
Population, David Ricardo's Principles of Political Economy, and
John Maynard Keynes's The General Theory of Employment, Interest,
and Money. Acting as "a docent, not merely an editor," he takes the
reader through the core arguments with "brilliantly clear
commentary" (New York Times Book Review).
