The History of Economic Thought, cont.
If you enjoyed the previous post and would like to further extend your knowledge, here is an excellent resource. And if you suffer from attention deficit disorder and want people to get to the point without waffling about, try this excellent paper:
This paper tells you everything you need to know in order to impress your friends with your knowledge of the most famous people and the useful past of the subject of economics. It collects all the useful past possessed by the subject into one convenient, and therefore easy to plagiarise, source.
With thanks to Netsmith and Gabriel.
Best paragraph (so far):
His most famous book is called The Wealth of Nations, of
which every literate person has heard. However, no one reads
this book any longer: it therefore can be said to have acquired
the status of a true classic. One reason it is not read these
days is that, like Shakespeareís plays and the King James Bible,
modern readers realise immediately that it is made up entirely of
famous quotations. It is not quite clear why his contemporaries
failed to realise this obvious point.
Now *that* is funny!
