Paperback, with glossy, black, red and gray illustrated front cover designed by Bessen + Tully Inc. Includes Acknowledgments, A Guide to Further Reading and Index Fifth Edition, First Paperback Printing "The concerns of economists - from Adam Smith to Malthus, from Marx to Veblen, from Keynes to our modern-day economists - have changed drastically over the years. The 1980s, with all its complicated politics, its dwindling natural resources and its growing fiscal problems, will be a decade of economic challenges. Now, therefore, more than ever, it is crucial to understand the system that touches our lives every day. In this book, which John Kenneth Galbraith praised for its lucidity, conciseness and excellence of judgment, the author makes comprehensible the history and thinking that underlie a system that is vital and necessary for today's world. To the book that has educated and entertained millions of readers over the past 25 years, Robert Heilbroner adds his explanation of imperialism, his new estimates of Marx and, most importantly, his discussion of modern economics" [from the back cover] ISBN: 0671255967 Book is in Very Good Plus Condition: complete and intact; pages clean, tight, and unmarked; some light toning.
