  I like the concept. Take the economic thinkers, discuss their ideas, and space the facade with the cultural and literary milieu of the Era. Often, this paid off very nicely. I gained a new appreciation for Percy Shelly's poetry and his moral economic views related to class and labor.
  
  But the book is inconsistent. Some chapters dragged on, others were fairly strong. The final third was editorial, rather than scholarly. It is always difficult to write "history" when you're in the middle of it and arguing for one side.

  كتاب متخصص أكثر في سرد تطور التاريخ الاقتصادي بدون أن يدخل في شرح مفصل لكل عالم اقتصادي

  This book mixed a thorough overview of economic history and practice with the worst writing I've ever seen. The introduction informs us that an economist, like an airplane pilot, has many approaches, and the metaphors just get more labored from there. It's a good introduction to the Dismal Science, but you've got to have a strong stomach to finish it.

  I enjoyed the first two thirds of the book as he traces, very amusingly, the theories of economics from Adam Smith up to and including the Depression. Post-Depression economic theory lost me, however, but don't let that prevent you from reading the first two thirds of the book. The insights from economists and the colourful characters are fantastic.
