Synopsis

Erudite, accessible and lucidly written, this book provides a stimulating introduction to the careers and main published works of the Nobel Memorial Laureates in Economics. It will prove to be an invaluable reference book on key figures in economics and their path-breaking insights. The vignettes should also encourage the reader to sample some of the Laureates' original works and gain a better understanding of the context in which new ideas were first put forward.

Original features of the book include:

  • a foreword by Professor Mark Blaug
  • a review of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics, including a biographical guide to potential future winners
  • a table summarising the Laureates': year and country of birth; university and year of their first and higher degrees; their affiliation at the time of the award; broad field of study; and Prize citation
  • comprehensive individual entries on each of the Laureates (including their photographs), covering their careers and main published works
  • a glossary of selected associations, awards, institutions and societies.


Written primarily for undergraduate and postgraduate students, this is also a book that many teachers and lecturers will want on their shelves. It will prove to be an invaluable reference tool for anyone wanting to understand how past events and individuals have helped mould contemporary economics.
