Economists who changed the world

In this audio from the BBC History Extra magazine Linda Yueh discusses her new book, The Great Economists, which explores the work and legacy of some of history’s greatest economic thinkers, and reveals some of the lessons they might offer for us today


An interesting podcast, even if I'm not sure I would entirely agree with some of Yueh's discussion and interpretation of the writers she considers. On the other hand Tyler Cowen is quoted as saying, about the book, "The best place to start to learn about the very greatest economists of all time".
