Great Thinkers in Economics
Series Editor A. P. Thirlwall School of Economics University of Kent Canterbury, UK
The famous historian, E.H. Carr once said that in order to understand history it is necessary to understand the historian writing it. The same could be said of economics.

Great Thinkers in Economics is designed to illuminate the economics of some of the great historical and contemporary economists by exploring the interaction between their lives and work, and the events surrounding them.
