Features: Getting close to the masters allows us to understand how their brilliant achievements were created, while analyzing them makes us realize that they are also ordinary people who encounter the same troubles and confusions in life as we do. Mr. Liang Xiaomin has always had an "ambition": to rewrite a history of economics. He envisioned this book as a realistic evaluation of historical economists—not official history, nor unofficial history, but a non-comprehensive history of economic progress. It aims to provide readers interested in the development of economics with a window. If they like it, he plans to expand it into a series, which will eventually form "The Journey of Economics."
Economics may be considered a prominent field, but its practical impact on reality has attracted widespread attention. Due to various reasons, economics masters are often shrouded in a veil, giving them an ambiguous aura. Moreover, people frequently tie their academic achievements to their personal qualities, family backgrounds, and other factors, further enhancing their mystique. This book attempts to approach their humanity and the truth of their academic research by interpreting the life experiences and works of outstanding Western economics masters who influenced the development of economics, step by step.
