The Worldly Philosophers is a bestselling classic that not only enables us to see more deeply into our history but helps us better understand our own times. In this seventh edition, Robert L. Heilbroner provides a new theme that connects thinkers as diverse as Adam Smith and Karl Marx. The theme is the common focus of their highly varied ideas -- namely, the search to understand how a capitalist society works. It is a focus never more needed than in this age of confusing economic headlines. In a bold new concluding chapter entitled "The End of the Worldly Philosophy?" Heilbroner reminds us that the word "end" refers to both the purpose and limits of economics. This chapter conveys a concern that today's increasingly "scientific" economics may overlook fundamental social and political issues that are central to economics. Thus, unlike its predecessors, this new edition provides not just an indispensable illumination of our past but a call to action for our future.
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.
科普引介 对照着主人公作品一起读,是非常好的引导
评分好,非常好,好到有些段落需要反复读,持续颅内高潮,干货部分句句珠玑,虽然看得出作者being a social democrat 的bias, 最后,容我大喊一句,with all the moral indignation i can muster: velben个老渣男!
评分好評。在經濟學上比The Ordinary Business of Life覆蓋面更窄一些,但是在傳記和歷史上更expansive. 更適合作為introductory reading. Utopian的section是Backhouse沒有cover的(Henry George和Hobson我也不記得)。 相對來講比較同情socialist,雖然批Marx的時候也挺兇的。Schumpeter真的像是Kuhn的precusor. 最後一章和Further Reading是整本書結構裡面畫龍點睛的部分。

评分《几位著名经济思想家的生平、时代和思想》
最高荣誉,毕业于哈佛大学的Phi Beta Kappa,Robert Louis Heilbroner(生于1919年)是一位有影响力的经济学家和多产作家,评论家,顾问和讲师。他在私人学校豪华地升学并接受教育,他声称自己的自由经济观受到了家庭司机的影响,后者在提交人的父亲在1924年去世后担任父亲的角...
评分还是出于和之前评价波普尔那本《rational paesant》相同的原则,一本书得分的高低,不在于它实际思想到底有多深,而在于读它以后你预期的读者目标有没有达到。这本书读之前作为一个读者合理的预期目标就是:在阅读完以后,对于经济思想史上关键的思想家所处的时代,其个人生平...
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。
评分这算是资本主义社会发展的一个历史预测,从资本主义之父的亚当斯密到资本绅士的熊彼特,他们都在他们自己的年代对资本社会进行预测,然而事实证明再伟大的人也不可能预测很长的未来,但是他们的思想却对资本社会的发展产生了极大的影响,而他们彼此之间也相互借鉴对方的思想精...
评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...
