Economists for Beginners
A Pantheon Documentary Comic Book.
Intimidated by economics? Unable to keep the theory of surplus value, the marginal disutility of labor, and your checkbook straight? At last here is a good, clear introduction to the history of economic thought.
Bernard Caravan, in this soundly researched, amusing book, introduces us to the seven great economists who have given shape and system to this curious science: Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, Karl Marx, Alfred Marshall, and John Maynard Keynes. In seven lucid chapters, you can trace the development of their economic theories.
Economists for Beginners allows the major economists to speak in their own words against a dramatic background stretching from the early days of capitalism to the Great Depression and the coming of the welfare state. In this wittily illustrated book, essential economic ideas come alive for the first time.
