История экономической мысли

Rate this book
Наибольшую известность Лайонелу Роббинсу (1898–1984) принесли его работы по экономической теории, методологии и анализу экономической политики. Во время Второй мировой войны он возглавлял экономическую часть кабинета Уинстона Черчилля, а после ее окончания долгое время руководил газетой "Financial Times". Как историк экономических идей он может сравниться с Йозефом Шумпетером.Публикуемые лекции, читавшиеся в Лондонской школе экономики в 1979–1981 годах и записанные на магнитофон внуком Роббинса, показывают его глубокое знание истории экономической мысли, заразительную увлеченность предметом, красноречие и остроумие. В лекциях освещаются экономические идеи многих мыслителей, начиная с Платона, Аристотеля и Фомы Аквинского. Роббинс подробно останавливается на работах Адама Смита, Томаса Мальтуса, представителей классической политической экономии, Карла Маркса и Альфреда Маршалла. Лекции объединены убежденностью Роббинса в том, что современные институты и общественные науки невозможно по-настоящему понять без осознания идей, стоявших за их развитием.

A very well written, lucid, engaging and entertaining book on history and development of economics. Being a book based on recorded classroom lectures of Robbins at LSE during 1980-81, it truly displays his mastery and range of ideas. However, the coverage is only upto first world war or upto Marshall and therefore, subsequent development are not part of the book. Overall, a great read!!!

A pure classic in the genre. Verbatim lecture from late in his career. He had a treasure trove of knowledge, reading, sources, and anecdotes to draw on.

I read it slowly, over the course of a year. A lot of it ended up in my own slides.
