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.
本书着重介绍了斯密、李嘉图,马尔萨斯,熊彼特等经济学家的生平、时代与思想,是经济学说史方面的一本颇有参考价值的读物。曾被译成24种文字,既有思想解剖又有历史陈述,颇值一读。
读到一半,马尔萨斯和李嘉图是主张完全不同的两个人,但是他们是彼此的挚友——只因为有相同的理想,为整个社会变得更好保持终身的理性探讨。 我曾经认为经济学家多是教人家如何逐利的,现在才发现自己是多么肤浅。他们跟社会学家、法学家一样,研究的是怎样安放大家肉身的办...
评分现在我们的很多思想,即便是理性经济人这个基本假设,都不是凭空得来的,而是在人类漫长的历史进程中发展出来的。 因此,理论人类的历史,才能理解现在的经济。 从这个意义上讲,本书具有很好的阅读价值。
评分 评分经济学入门书,我喜欢斯密和凯恩斯,是因为人格魅力。
评分听了两遍,感觉好多了
评分作者写这本书的时候还在读研究生啊,哥德尔提出不完备定理证明时才25岁,大经济学家约翰·穆勒在12岁的时候已经精通了几何、代数和微分,写了一本罗马史一本世界史一本荷兰史,13岁掌握了政治经济学……这些人在影响人类创造历史,而我们在赚伙食费,我们的生命意义何在啊。。。。。。
评分大赞,开头介绍经济学得以开创的条件,很生动,结尾总结经济学家和时代的联系,说的也很恰切,中间介绍人物也完全和历史和以及理论结合,也有很多八卦,对于我这个经济学史小白而言,相比于啃那种专业性过强的东西,已经觉得非常够用了
评分The Worldly Philosophers中文版,各时代经济学大家的生平、理论著作及轶闻
