Review
"No one interested in economics - and it's an interest all shrewd citizens should cultivate - will want to miss Ray Canterbery... He has established himself as an incisive and interesting scholar who greatly prefers truth to the orthodox applause... Canterbery always has a good foundation of fact, analysis and judgement to support his positions." John Kenneth Galbraith Harvard University "Canterbery's unique style of presentation and breadth of vision manages to breathe new life into the study of dead economists... Really helps the reader conjure up a vision of the economic times... A fine addition to the history of thought literature." Michael C Carroll Journal of Economic Issues
From the Back Cover
A Brief History of Economics illustrates how the ideas of the great economists not only influenced societies but were themselves shaped by their cultural milieu. Understanding the economists’ visions — lucidly and vividly unveiled by Canterbery — allows readers to place economics within a broader community of ideas. Magically, the author links Adam Smith to Isaac Newton’s idea of an orderly universe, F Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby to Thorstein Veblen, John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath to the Great Depression, and Tom Wolfe’s The Bonfire of the Vanities to Reaganomics. The second edition is right up-to-date with a lively discussion of the economic crises of 2007–2010.Often humorous, Canterbery’s easy style will make the student’s first foray into economics lively and relevant. Readers will dismiss “dismal” from the science.
