Robert L. Heilbroner (1919- ) is the Norman Thomas Professor of Economics at the New School for Social Research. He has two children and currently resides in New York City. Heilbroner graduated summa cum laude from Harvard in 1940 with a degree in history, government, and economics, and worked briefly for the Office of Price Administration. After service in the Army during World War II, he took a job as a business economist with a large commodity-trading house. However, he soon decided that he liked writing more than office work and took a year's leave. He never went back to business.
For two decades, thousands of instructors have used The Worldly Philosophers as an introduction to the lives and thoughts of the great economists. Sales of all editions of this book have been estimated at approximately two million. The combined sales of all the economics books written by Heilbroner, counting joint authorships, may make him the top-selling economics authors of all time. In his writing Heilbroner brings an economic point of view to social and political problems.
The final revision of this classic bestseller, the 7th edition defines the common thread linking the world's greatest economic thinkers and explores the philosophies that motivate them. Hailed by Galbraith as a "brilliant achievement", "The Worldly Philosophers" with over 2 million copies sold worldwide, not only enables us to see more deeply into our history, but helps us to better understand our own times. Heilbroner provides the new theme that connects thinkers as different as Adam Smith and Karl Marx: the desire to understand how a capitalist society works. A new chapter conveys a concern that today's increasingly "scientific" economics may overlook fundamental social and political issues that are central to economics.
这是一部充满生命力的经典,不只因为它让我们明白经济学巨擘所提出的创见何以今日仍然如此重要,同时也因为海尔布隆纳借着自己的杰作,迫使我们去勾勒属于自己的未来。若我们不晓得渗透自己思考的观念从何而来,那么,我们根本就不知道自己身处何方。不管我们是否认识这些伟大...

评分有多少人被中文书名误导而来呢?原书名the wordly philosohters,在中文图书市场无论如何也不法成为畅销书的。 原来经济学只有300年历史。原来这是一部经济学史,一部经济学家史。 之前发现,哲学入门就是学哲学史。但是经济学史绝非入门好课程,至少得看完一套教科书,才能明...
评分很适合经济初学者的书,Heilbroner的文笔确实不是盖的
评分初遇地居然是日文版地,估计看完这个会看看英文版。实在是本有趣的写经济学者的书

评分已故作家和思想家的作品。深邃的视野,华丽的文笔,适可而止的幽默,虽然不是一本有趣好玩的书,但无疑是精品中的精品
