Linda Yueh is renowned for her combination of erudition, as an accomplished economist herself, and accessibility, as a leading writer and broadcaster in this field. In What Would the Great Economists Do? she explains the key thoughts of history's greatest economists, how our lives have been influenced by their ideas and how they could help us with the policy challenges that we face today.\n\nIn the light of current economic problems, and in particular economic growth, Yueh explores the thoughts of economists from Adam Smith and David Ricardo to contemporary academics Douglass North and Robert Solow. Along the way, she asks, for example, what do the ideas of Karl Marx tell us about the likely future for the Chinese economy? How do the ideas of John Maynard Keynes, who argued for government spending to create full employment, help us think about state intervention? And with globalization in trouble, what can we learn about handling Brexit and Trumpism?\n\nWhat Would the Great Economists Do? includes:\nAdam Smith\nDavid Ricardo\nKarl Marx\nAlfred Marshall\nIrving Fisher\nJohn Maynard Keynes\nJoseph Schumpeter\nFriedrich Hayek\nJoan Robinson\nMilton Friedman\nDouglass North\nRobert Solow\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250180546\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1250180546.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Yueh, Linda\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
