History of Economic Thought

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Text!
Review: An excellent overview of the history of economic thought. I used this text in my course on the history of economic thought. I highly recommend it! The authors cover, in great detail, such critical items as the preclassical areas of thought, mercantillism, Malthus, Marx, Ricardo, and the transition to Neoclassical economics. The discussion of the modern Microeconomic Theory is also a must for any fan of economics.

Summary: What everyone should know about economics
Review: As a former student of Dr. Harry Landreth, I had the honor of learning economic theory under his expert tutelage. This book helps you appreciate and understand the theories and thinking that helped shape our world. A must for any serious student of economics; this book is hailed by academics as THE book on this subject, and I do not disagree.
