"[These essays] are rich in argument, in clear and provocative presentation of complicated issues, and are often delightfully quotable. Behind the Veil of Economics makes instructive, disturbing, and lively reading." —Elizabeth Wolgast, New York Times Book Review What lies behind the veil of economics? Power and ideology, answers Robert Heilbroner—the power of our economic involvement in society to shape the ways we think about it; the visions and values that add unsuspected ideological color to our economic beliefs about it. Most important, Heilbroner shows why economics has become the reigning form of social inquiry and how we might penetrate its mystique.

Professor Heilbroner shows why economics has become the reigning form of social inquiry, and how we might penetrate its mystique. He explores aspects of the "regime-like" character of capitalism and its historic position today; the meaning of work and value; and the manner in which the social visions of the "worldly philosophers" affect their economic analyses.

Download Teachings from the Worldly Philosophy Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Selections from great writings on economics, annotated and introduced by a distinguished economist and teacher. Author of The Worldly Philosophers, a 3-million-copy seller, Robert Heilbroner offers here a compendium of readings from the "worldly philosophers" themselves. The selections range from the earliest economic thought to such towering volumes as Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, Thomas Malthus's Essay on the Principle of Population, David Ricardo's Principles of Political Economy, and John Maynard Keynes's The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money. Acting as "a docent, not merely an editor," he takes the reader through the core arguments with "brilliantly clear commentary" (New York Times Book Review).

Download The Worldly Philosophers at Fifty Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
In recent years, Robert Heilbroner planned a book to develop the ideas presented in the new and final chapter he added to the seventh edition of his landmark book, The Worldly Philosophers, now fifty years old. As his health deteriorated and he was forced to abandon the project, he proposed an alternative project in which a group of thoughtful (although not like-minded) economists would instead respond to his arguments. The result is this special issue of Social Research.Sixteen world-class economists and philosophers have contributed to this festschrift issue, extending Heilbroners discussion of the great dynamics of capitalism. Some of their essays focus on the social embeddedness of markets in the 21st century. Others examine the ethical and political dimensions of contemporary economics and especially its conception of rationality. A third group of essays provides an assessment and critique of worldly philosophy as an economic method. Together, these far-reaching essays explore the current state of economic thought and the prospects for 21st century capitalism.

Download A Future of Capitalism: The Economic Vision of Robert Heilbroner Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This book provides an intellectual portrait of Robert Heilbroner. It traces the development of his work and places it within the literature of economic thought. The book finds that Heilbroner is a writer of political economy in the classical sense. His work is more reminiscent of Smith or Marx than of contemporary economic theorists. Heilbroner's economics is built on a solid foundation of social psychology, evolutionary dynamics and human history. This holistic approach affords Heilbroner a wide latitude to define the economic process and the discipline that studies it.
