The Making of Modern Economics: The Lives and Ideas of the Great Thinkers; Second Edition Audiobook (Free)

Here is a bold, updated history of economics, the dramatic story of how the great economic thinkers built today’s rigorous social science. Noted financial writer and economist Tag Skousen has revised this popular work to provide more on Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Joseph Stiglitz and on “imperfect” markets and behavioral economics.

This comprehensive, yet accessible introduction to the major economic philosophers of the past 225 years begins with Adam Smith and continues for this day, examining the contributions created by each individual to your understanding of the role from the economist, the science of economics, and economic theory. Included are highlights of little known facts about the economists’ personal lives that affected their function.
