O knihe

The present book is a fascinating account of the living ideas of dead economists. As the past is given to interact with the present, the old ideas of great economists remain essentially a living subject in the economic universe of discourse. The book outlines the major contributions and ideas of almost all important economists from all recognised schools, in a precise manner. Many of these ideas are found to be useful for the analysis of various economic problems. B.N.
