About This Item
Simon & Schuster, 2011. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/New. B&W era photo section. CONDITION: What makes this book "near fine?" Remainder mark bottom edges. UNREAD 2011 Simon o& Schuster large hardcover (558 pages & red boards) & dust jacket (in mylar cover), first edition, first printing. B&W era photo section. CONTENT: The author of the groundbreaking bestseller A Beautiful Mind takes the reader on a journey of discovery-how the greatest invention of modern times, economics, has changed the lives of every single human being. In a sweeping narrative, the author of the megabestseller A Beautiful Mind takes us on a journey through modern history with the men and women who changed the lives of every single person on the planet. It's the epic story of the making of modern economics, and of how economics rescued mankind from squalor and deprivation by placing its material fate in its own hands rather than in Fate. Nasar account begins with Charles Dickens and Henry Mayhew observing and publishing the condition of the poor majority in mid-nineteenth-century London, the richest and most glittering place in the world. This was a new pursuit. She describes the often heroic efforts of Marx, Engels, Alfred Marshall, Beatrice and Sydney Webb, and the American Irving Fisher to put those insights into action.
