A very good collection of essays, from the earliest to the most modern of thinking in Economics. Obviously, such an anthology has to be selective in its choice, which it is, yet it tries to cover many aspects of economics, especially its methodological perspectives.

not bad... the part on Marx and Stuart mill were the best although some others were monotonous, but all around an interesting book.
