The Academic Scribblers Summary

The Academic Scribblers: Third Edition by William Breit

This text offers a thoughtful summary of modern economic thought. It presents the story of economics through the lives of 12 major modern economists, beginning with Alfred Marshall and concluding with Paul Samuelson and Milton Friedman. The book picks up where Robert Heilbroner's The Worldly Philosophers leaves off, and brings the story of modern American and British economic theory up to the 1980s. It presents a summary of modern economic policy debate and an enticement into the dismal science of economics.

The Academic Scribblers Reviews

As a guide to the intellectual origins of many hotly debated current and proposed economic policies, The Academic Scribblers is an outstanding success.---J. Bernard Burnham, National Review
Even to try to survey so much is commendable and the authors have done more. They take the reader through the ideas of the twelve in a way that shows that they are competent theorists themselves.---William D. Grampp, The American Political Science Review
[The Academic Scribblers] is a compact, lucid survey of the ideas of an even dozen British and American economists.... A splendid book. It should be read by every undergraduate student of economics.---William H. Miernyk, Social Science Quarterly
