The Academic Scribblers offers a thoughtful and highly literate
summary of modern economic thought. It presents the story of
economics through the lives of twelve major modern economists,
beginning with Alfred Marshall and concluding with Paul Samuelson
and Milton Friedman. In a very real sense, this book picks up where
Robert Heilbroner's classic The Wordly Philosophers leaves off.
Whereas Heilbroner begins with Smith and ends with Joseph
Schumpeter, Breit and Ransom bring the story of modern American and
British economic theory up to the 1980s. The Academic Scribblers is
an elegant summary of modern economic policy debate and an
enticement into a happy engagement with the "dismal science" of
economics." Originally published in 1998. The Princeton Legacy
Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make
available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
