"HE'S AWESOME... THE FIRST TIME READ IT.. NOT GET IT THOUGH.. CUZ SLACKING.. BUT WHEN DOING THE PAPER... READ IT AGAIN.. AMAZING.. HSI WRITING IS AWESOME.."
"i am just now reading this --reading this because i do not understand economics and i thought this would help explain. i am in chapter V which is about the utopian socialists. so far adam smith,malthus, and ricardo have been discussed. heilbroner discusses the early days before economists were even thought of.i will keep you updated on the final evaluation of this work."
"Long, long ago around the beginning of the elder Bush's administration I read a previous addition of this book for a class in high school. I don't know if it was the quizzes, the class discussions with other ignorant teenagers, or if my interests have changed over the last couple of decades, but I certainly didn't enjoy reading it then, and found it quite interesting this time around."
"A great survey of some of the most influential thinkers for about the last 300 years. It covers all those names you hear about in class, especially economics classes, but gets to the details that you never learn. These details definitely help fill in the gaps when it comes to understanding the breakthroughs these men offered to the world."
