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.

評分经济学一代一代传承下来,一代一代向前发展。尊重前人的研究成果,就是尊重历史。后来居上固然是一个规律,代表一种趋势,但后人总是站在前人的肩膀上才能站得更高,看得更远。 当我们说某些经济学家的学说或观点经过滞后的验证而被确认为经济学创新时,并不意味着它们会一直...
