"A Brief History of Economics" illustrates in what way the ideas of the great economists not barely influenced societies but were themselves shaped by their cultural milieu. Understanding the economists' visions - lucidly and vividly unveiled ~ means of Canterbery -allows readers to place political economy within a broader community of ideas. Magically, the former links Adam Smith to Isaac Newton's model of an orderly universe, F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby" to Thornstein Veblen, John Steinbeck's "Grapes of Wrath" to the Great Depression, and Tom Wolfe's "The Bonfire of the Vanities" to Reaganomics. Often comic, Canterbery's easy style should rise the student's first foray into household management lively and relevant. Readers will nay longer dare call it the "cheerless science".
