Eminent Economists: Their Life Philosophies
This collection of essays by 22 prominent economists is distinctive. These autobiographical essays are open-ended, with each economist invited to discuss his "life philosophy." Surprisingly, such wide-ranging articles do develop several common themes, and all dispel the notion of economists as theoreticians divorced from the workings of the real world. The economists exhibit impressive intellectual depth and breadth of knowledge. Highly recommended for all college and university libraries, especially those institutions with large and/or vigorous economics programs.- Richard C.
