All the formulae an economist needs
Helpful but not complete
Excellent reference and then some..
Extremely Condensed and Extremely Useful! The brevity of Economists' Mathematical Manual is simultaneously its greatest strength and its greatest weakness.The strength obviously lies in its diverse scope.Few books could claim to be authoritative over such a wide spectrum of subfields of economics. Yet the lack of exposition can also be perceived as a weakness.This book is extremely useful as a reference, but first-year Ph.D. students should be warned that it should be considered supplemental only.A textbook such as Simon and Blume's Mathematics for Economists or Chiang's Fundamental Methods of Mathematical Economics should be the reference of first recourse for anyone encountering mathematical economics for the first time.

4.5 stars-Yes. The problem is that " modern " economics is just old Benthamite Utilitarianism in new mathematical garb

A real-world mystery story
A must-read
Changed my understanding of third world poverty
Insighful and sad account
Andybody Who Cares Should Read This The Economist's Tale is also quite interesting and riveting as a read. It is also a quick read. One learns much about Sierra Leone among other non-economic subjects. It appears nobody else has rated this book yet - which tends to indicate that few people have read it - a sad state of affairs. ... Read more |

The Meaning of Greatness One of the most interesting essays is Jeff Tucker's on Henry Hazlitt.Before reading the essay I knew that he was a journalist and the other of important works such as ECONOMICS IN ONES LESSON. However, I had no idea of his fascinating life and his contribution in popularizing Austrian ideas.Hazlitt was one of the first to review THE ROAD TO SERFDOM, which led to the huge popularity of the book.Curiously, he was commissioned to write Bertrand Russell's biography (which he never completed, because Russell decided to write his own.) Murray Rothbard (the subject of an excellent essay by Hoppe) wrote a history of economic thought from the Austrian point of view, which is in print.Unfortunately, he died before completing it. ...

Nobel Prize Winning Book
A Witty Tour of The Chicago School Stigler provides everything in this short, accessible book.The reader is treated to a detailed explanation of the evolution of Stigler's thinking on a wide variety of topics.These chapters, such as Chapter 6 ("Monopoly") and Chapter 7 ("Political Regulation of Economic Life") also provide a very good intellectual history of how the generally accepted view of these topics has changed over time.Not coincidentally, these chapters together with Chapter 10 ("The Chicago School") document the tremendous amount of influence the Chicago School of economics has had over the economics profession. At a minimum, the book is worth the purchase price because of it's witty treatment of the "inside baseball" of academic life and frank description of the intellectual atmosphere at the University of Chicago. As an example, the letter exchange between Frank Knight and Paul Douglas reprinted beginning on page 183 should not be missed (no synopsis here can do it justice). Nor should the reader miss the description detailed in Chapter 5 ("Eureka") of how Ronald Coase, in one evening, turned the entire Chicago economics department from critics to supporters of what is now called the "Coase Theorem."
EASY TO READ, INTERESTING HISTORY OF RECENT ECONOMIC THOUGHT Overall, I thought this was a nice concise book.With only about 200 pages, the author surely measured his words.This is not a book about economics (though there is a little bit in it), but mainly a book on economic thought.
Fascinating, accessible style, humorous--a must read for all |

Editorial Review Product Description The road trip is a staple of modern American literature. But nowhere in American literature, until now, has a left-wing economist hit the road, observing and interpreting the extraordinary range and spectacle of U.S. life, bringing out its conflicts and contradictions with humor and insight. Disillusioned with academic life after thirty-two years teaching economics, Michael D. Yates took early retirement in 2001, with a pension account that had doubled during the dot.com frenzy of the late 1990s. He and his wife Karen sold their house, got rid of their belongings, and have moved around the country since then, often spending months at a time on the road. Michael and Karen spent the summer of 2001 in Yellowstone National Park, where Michael worked as a hotel front-desk clerk. They moved to Manhattan for a year, where he worked for Monthly Review. From there they went to Portland, Oregon, to explore the Pacific Northwest. After five months of travel in Summer and Fall 2004, they settled in Miami Beach. Ahead of the 2005 hurricane season, they went back on the road, settling this time in Colorado. Cheap Motels and a Hotplate is both an account of their adventures and a penetrating examination of work and inequality, race and class, alienation and environmental degradation in the small towns and big cities of the contemporary United States.
