In a sweeping narrative, the author of the megabestseller A Beautiful Mind takes us on a journey through modern history with the men and women who changed the lives of every single person on the planet. It’s the epic story of the making of modern economics, and of how economics rescued mankind from squalor and deprivation by placing its material fate in its own hands rather than in Fate.
Nasar’s account begins with Charles Dickens and Henry Mayhew observing and publishing the condition of the poor majority in mid-nineteenth-century London, the richest and most glittering place in the world. This was a new pursuit. She describes the often heroic efforts of Marx, Engels, Alfred Marshall, Beatrice and Sydney Webb, and the American Irving Fisher to put those insights into action—with revolutionary consequences for the world.
From the great John Maynard Keynes to Schumpeter, Hayek, Keynes’s disciple Joan Robinson, the influential American economists Paul Samuelson and Milton Freedman, and India’s Nobel Prize winner Amartya Sen, she shows how the insights of these activist thinkers transformed the world—from one city, London, to the developed nations in Europe and America, and now to the entire planet. In Nasar’s dramatic narrative of these discoverers we witness men and women responding to personal crises, world wars, revolutions, economic upheavals, and each other’s ideas to turn back Malthus and transform the dismal science into a triumph over mankind’s hitherto age-old destiny of misery and early death. This idea, unimaginable less than 200 years ago, is a story of trial and error, but ultimately transcendent, as it is rendered here in a stunning and moving narrative.

讀後感
写作者完全是站在自己狭隘自利的阶层认知中去恶意贬损不合自己国家意志或阶级的伟大人物，例如马克思。试想，如果马克思真是写作者所描绘的那样不堪，后人会给以评价为千年伟人？写作者自己也还有必要占用这样大量的篇幅来介绍一个经济学渣吗？还配得上写作者这样高大的书名"改...
評分 評分Her chronological narrative emphasizes a key tension between antistatist laissez faire ideas and the logic of the modern welfare state. A final chapter on Indian economist Amartya Sen takes us beyond the West briefly, but the book concentrates overwhelmingl...
評分洗闲阁按：西尔维娅·娜萨是美国优秀的传记作家，代表作有获得美国国家书评奖的《美丽心灵：纳什传》，并成为畅销书，同名电影获得奥斯卡奖。《推手：改变世界的经济学天才》（马韧译，人民文学出版社2013年4月1版）是娜萨的又一本重要传记，从恩格斯、马克思，到马歇尔...
評分目前看了此书的前言和序幕两部分，大约十七页，译文如行云流水，水准极高，而且文法讲究，是难得的佳作。推荐给对经济学和经济思想史有兴趣的朋友们！ 此书作为经济思想史的参考读物比较恰当，因为书中介绍了大量的时代背景，而不是经济学思想史的发展背景，因此不适合称作经济...

作者史觀、專業、文筆都好，讓每章主角所處的時代有瞭立體感，如果說，教科書是一張張黑白照片，這本書提供的是3D的閱讀樂趣。

评分從馬剋思到哈耶剋，從西德尼·韋布到米爾頓·弗裏德曼，娜薩把一位位有血有肉的經濟學傢帶到瞭我們麵前，用一段段細節豐富的故事串聯起瞭近現代經濟思想的演化進程，而故事的主角正是這些改變瞭經濟學發展軌跡的男男女女們，也正是他們重塑瞭我們對這個世界可能性的認知。對於平時不會捧起一本經濟學大部頭的讀者來說，這本書對經濟學的刻畫無疑是全麵而生動的。
评分Many anecdotes, rich references, obvious like and dislike by author, but interesting to see intellectual journey of each giant. I like Beatrice Potter's story of growth-she and her husband are cooperative theorists, members of Fabian Society, and founders of London school of economics.
