Legacies of Great Economists

When it comes to economics and economic theory, a few thinkers dominate the landscape: Adam Smith. Karl Marx. Alfred Marshall. John Maynard Keynes. Legacies of Great Economists by economist and Professor Timothy Taylor acquaint you with the thoughts, theories, and lives of these and other great economists—those individuals who have shaped the world of economics and influenced our lives. These lectures provide a fresh take on how various economic theories were formed, how subsequent economists fine-tuned those theories, and how despite the passage of time, core economic doctrine remains even in the 21st century.
