These volumes gather together a selection of autobiographical essays written by significant economists whose work is generally recognized to be at the forefront of the discipline as we enter the twenty-first century. The essays are largely based on introductions to volumes in the Edward Elgar series Economists of the Twentieth Century (which collects together the key papers of these economists). This volume focuses on leading economists who were born, or have spent the greater part of their lives, in America. The main chapters are accompanied by an introduction in which the editors place the autobiographical essays in a wider context. Economists will be fascinated by: the stories that lie behind familiar names why economists approach problems the way they do how careers develop how economists view what they are doing. These are all points that are invisible to those who simply read the published output of economics, so readers will gain personal insights into the development of the field. The books will be a valuable resource for economists, particularly historians of economic thought, as well as sociologists concerned with the economics profession, and those interested in the creative process and the social and scientific development of economics.

Recensioner i media

'I can only but repeat that reading these stories of life and work of these exemplary economists in their own words is a great joy. And not only that. It provides the reader with an insight into the development of our profession at the microlevel in a lively way.' -- A. Heertje, The Economic Journal '. . . a most enjoyable read.' -- Peter Groenewegen, History of Economics Review
