Features: This book is a history of economic ideas viewed through a critical lens. The author is committed to elucidating the views proposed by economists who have had a significant impact on the development of economics as fairly as possible, but it is not limited to merely assessing the influence of these individuals. Based on his own standards, the author examines these important economic ideas from a long-term historical perspective and offers commentary. The author believes that as a doctrine, economics should not focus primarily on minor details. The primary role of economics should be to provide answers to the challenges faced in economic growth, employment and inflation, poverty reduction, and ensuring a sustainable future.
