Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Three Great Economists contains studies of three of the most influential economic theorists: Smith, whose masterpiece of economic theory, The Wealth of Nations, advocated free trade; Malthus, whose polemical first Essay on Population generated more misunderstanding and personal vilification than any comparable figure in the history of social and political thought; and Keynes, central thinker of the twentieth century, whose doctrines continue to inspire strong feelings in admirers and detractors alike. `For a clever and entertaining survey of Smith's life and work this book is unrivalled.' British Book News `In assembling a clear subtle portrait of Malthus, Winch has made a successful case for paying attention to what this varied and interesting thinker actually wrote, and he has done this in just over 100 pages: a remarkable achievement, and precisely what the general reader has come to hope for in the Oxford Past Master series.' THES `exemplary in covering difficult subjects with lucidity and concision.' TES on Keynes
