Publisher's Synopsis

'The Worldly Philosophers' not only enables us to see more deeply into our history but helps us better understand our own times. In this seventh edition, Robert L. Heilbroner provides a new theme that connects thinkers as diverse as Adam Smith and Karl Marx. The theme is the common focus of their highly varied ideas - namely, the search to understand how a capitalist society works. It is a focus never more needed than in this age of confusing economic headlines.
