Features: The three stages in the field of economics are directly related to the selection criteria of this series. In the history of Western economic thought, there have been many economics professors and economists, but those who can be honored with the titles of economic thinkers or philosophers are not many—this is our selection criterion. The five protagonists featured in the series are Adam Smith, Marshall, Keynes, Schumpeter, and Hayek. There are often regrets in the history of Western economic thought, because they are all original economic thinkers. Adam Smith is the founder and pioneer of Western liberal economic thought, and his status and influence are unmatched. Marshall is the synthesizer of subjective economic thought, and with his theory of entrepreneurial function, he is a typical representative of the second phase of liberal economic thought. Keynes was one of the designers of the post-World War II capitalist world and also the theoretical planner of the fundamental transformation and development of the capitalist market economy in the 1950s and 1960s, primarily reflecting the main ideas and contributions of Smith. Of course, for the convenience of readers, brief biographies, timelines, and major works of Smith are also included.
