The Great Economists - Linda Yueh

The Great Economists: How Their Ideas Can Help Us Today by Linda Yueh

In The Great Economists, economist and broadcaster Linda Yueh brings the ideas of history’s most influential economic thinkers into sharp focus—and shows why they still matter today. From Adam Smith and Karl Marx to John Maynard Keynes, Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, and beyond, Yueh explains how their theories continue to shape debates about markets, inequality, globalization, technology, and government policy. Rather than treating economics as abstract theory, this book connects big ideas to real-world problems: financial crises, rising inequality, climate change, automation, and the future of work. Yueh explores where these economists were right, where they fell short, and how their insights can guide better decisions in the 21st century. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery from Readers’ Republik.
