书籍简介：

在线阅读本书 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.

书友短评：

@ 方靖 Best book on history of thought. @ 放下手机 one of the most important books i read so far. answered so many of my questions. my life wont be complete without it. and the author is so so so brilliantly scholarly. @ NOODLE N NUTS 可惜是上一个版本的 @ 梦游侠 《几位著名经济思想家的生平、时代和思想》 @ 小驿 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。 @ Twist 从经济学家的产生讲起，覆盖了从亚当斯密时代到二战后的一些主要经济学思潮。基本是是每个人物一章，结合当时社会经济情况解读了这些经济学家提出的一些主要论述。为了增加可读性，让吓死人的经济学大师们鲜活一点还加了不少八卦轶事。每个章节之间都有联系，外加作者语言和评论的逻辑性都超强，对门外汉来说也非常好读了。 @ 放下手机 one of the most important books i read so far. answered so many of my questions. my life wont be complete without it. and the author is so so so brilliantly scholarly. @ TR33 词汇学习 可真会夸人 @ 遇之Yuzhi 大学生涯最好的一本教科书，值得重拾读过 @ [已注销] 书很好，我不够哲学。终于明白自己为什么更符合实用派了。
