"Libro clásico de rara penetración y profundo rigor, "Los filósofos terrenales" de Robert L. Heilbroner realiza un recorrido por las vidas, tiempos e ideas de los pensadores más eminentes que dedicaron su atención a la economía y le dieron forma como ámbito de conocimiento autónomo, desde Adam Smith y los socialistas utópicos hasta Keynes y Schumpeter. Mezclando sabiamente pensamiento económico, biografía y contexto histórico e intelectual para cada uno de ellos y extrayendo conclusiones breves, pero contundentes, Heilbroner no permite olvidar que la economía es una ciencia social y que, como tal, por más que aspire a la objetividad, no puede soslayar enfrentarse a juicios de valor que no pueden resolverse mediante simples argumentos matemáticos o técnicos. Qué hacer cuando hay sectores de la población que se van hundiendo en una creciente pobreza o con la riqueza hereditaria son cuestiones que están en la base de la auténtica economía, cada vez más lejana de la versión pervertida de ella, hoy corriente, que amenaza con sepultarla definitivamente." -- Back Cover.

Work Description

"The Worldly Philosophers is a bestselling classic that not only enables us to see more deeply into our history but helps us better understand our own times. In this seventh edition, Robert L. Heilbroner provides a view theme that connects thinkers as diverse as Adam Smith and Karl Marx. The theme is the common focus of their highly varied ideas - namely, the search to understand how a capitalist society works."--BOOK JACKET.
