Features: The three levels 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 few. This is our selection criterion. There are five main figures in the series: Adam Smith, Marshall, Keynes, Schumpeter, and Hayek. The history of Western economic thought often leaves room for regret, as they are all original economic thinkers. Adam Smith is the founder and pioneer of Western liberal economics, and his status and influence are unmatched. Marshall is the synthesizer of subjective economic thought, and with his theory of the entrepreneur, he is a typical representative of the second form of liberal economics. Keynes was one of the designers of the post-World War II capitalist world and the theoretical planner of the fundamental changes and development of the capitalist market economy in the 1950s-60s, primarily reflecting the main ideas and contributions of Smith. Of course, for the convenience of readers, a brief biography of Smith, a chronology, and a list of his major works are included.
