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.

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.

评分Best book on history of thought.
评分最后一章挺有趣的。
评分可惜是上一个版本的
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。
评分经济学向quantitative方向的一边倒几乎可以说是一场学术灾难,不过话说回来,要让一个与钱打交道的学科孑然独立于资本体系和社会精英的控制之外,确实也是不现实的……轻松愉快的好书,点赞。
