在线阅读《The Worldly Philosophers》

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.

    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。03-14

    好,非常好,好到有些段落需要反复读,持续颅内高潮,干货部分句句珠玑,虽然看得出作者being a social democrat 的bias, 最后,容我大喊一句,with all the moral indignation i can muster: velben个老渣男!08-10

    有意思的经济思想家史。资本主义发展发展一如培养儿童的实验。现在儿童已然成长得过于复杂,生养者也成为其教条下的棋子。世界在变成几个人的游戏,或者说一直都是。03-07
