Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. Blending past and present, this brief history of economics is the perfect book for introducing students to the field.A Brief History of Economics illustrates how the ideas of the great economists not only influenced societies but were themselves shaped by their cultural milieu. Understanding the economists' visions - lucidly and vividly unveiled by Canterbery - allows readers to place economics within a broader community of ideas. Magically, the author links Adam Smith to Isaac Newton's idea of an orderly universe, F Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby to Thorstein Veblen, John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath to the Great Depression, and Tom Wolfe's The Bonfire of the Vanities to Reaganomics. The second edition is right up-to-date with a lively discussion of the economic crises of 2007-2010.Often humorous, Canterbery's easy style will make the student's first foray into economics lively and relevant. Readers will dismiss "dismal" from the science."No one interested in economics - and it's an interest all shrewd citizens should cultivate - will want to miss Ray Canterbery . He has established himself as an incisive and interesting scholar who greatly prefers truth to the orthodox applause . Canterbery always has a good foundation of fact, analysis and judgement to support his positions." John Kenneth Galbraith Harvard University"Canterbery's unique style of presentation and breadth of vision manages to breathe new life into the study of dead economists . Really helps the reader conjure up a vision of the economic times . A fine addition to the history of thought literature." Journal of Economic Issues"There is much in A Brief History of Economics to provide pleasant reading for a wide audience. Specialists in economic thought will be attracted by the easy writing style combined with the coherent historical development of post-Keynesian notions . Nonspecialists will be pleased to find coherent discussions of various economic subjects that may, prior to reading the book, have been confusing . the book is highly recommended for both specialist and nonspecialist alike." The HistorianActive in many economics associations, Canterbery has served as President of the Eastern Economics Association in 1986 - 87 and of the International Trade and Finance Association in 1997 - 98. In January 1996, Prentice-Hall, Inc. selected him for one of their 100 Hall of Fame Economist Baseball Cards for "significant contributions to the economics discipline," including "developing one of the first complete mathematical theories of foreign exchange."The International Biography Centre in Cambridge, England includes Canterbery among 500 persons worldwide in its Living Legends (2002), among 2000 scholars worldwide in its Outstanding Scholars in the 21st Century, in 1000 Great Intellectuals (2003), in 2000 Outstanding People (2003), and in 1000 Great Americans (2003). The American Biographical Institute includes Canterbery in its Great Minds of the 21st Century (2002) and American Biography (2003). He is also listed in Marquis Who's Who in the World and Who's Who in America, as well as in many other biographical sources. Introduces students to the field of economics.
