A Little History of Economics [Kishtainy, Niall] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. A Little History of Economics

Review: Condensed History of Economics and Economic Thought - This little book about the huge and complex subject area of Economics is extremely well written. This will forever be my go-to contextual reference in Economics to help me navigate the wide historical expanse of Economic thought. It is a linear history of the development of Economics, Economic thought, and philosophy. It highlights the personalities behind Economic theories and puts the theory in contextual space and time to motivate the development of these ideas. The book is well and clearly written with a format that eases reading. Jargon and terminology are clearly defined before use, with concrete examples. In aggregate, these attributes make the book accessible to the lay reader. I highly recommend A Little History of Economics to the lay reader wanting a working knowledge in Economics or any undergraduate or AP level student about to embark on their first course in Economics. I wish I had a reference like this for my undergraduate Economics electives.
Review: A good read - Each chapter is engaging and graced with a charming title. I might have like to have seen a few different figures in the collection, but the work of each economist or political economy that makes Kishtiany's line up is presented a clear, insightful, and economical way. The book is worth reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Little History Series Always Exceptional
*by A***H on August 5, 2024*

Probably my favorite non-fiction series of the last 5 years, little history is reliably excellent. Economics is a "silently controversial" topic because of how deeply it affects people's worldview without them explicitly realizing it. Many arguments about what people "deserve" boil down to some kind of fundamental difference in economic principles, which carry a real moral weight because of how tightly the outcomes of different economic ideas are tied to people's actual lives and happiness. I loved the historical aspect of this book. There's a comfortingly iterative aspect of "and then so and so came along with this new crazy idea about how the economy *really* worked, his ideas become popular, the government tried it, and it kind of worked but was also terrible". Then you skip forward in time 20-120 years and repeat. A nice reminder that modern economic theories rest upon the principle of a smart, daring guy who the nuts to make bold, overarching claims about the fundamental nature of society, and then subsequent chaos of neat, intellectual models meeting reality. The dismal and essential science indeed.
