Когда несколько лет назад скончался Роберт Хайлбронер, некрологи сообщали о смерти известного американского экономиста и социолога. Но миллионы благодарных читателей по всему миру знали его прежде всего как автора «Философов от мира сего» - удивительного повествования о судьбах и идеях титанов экономической мысли. Удивительного еще и потому, что общий тираж книги Хейлбронера составил несколько миллионов экземпляров, наглядно опровергнув миф о том, что экономика является мрачной и неинтересной наукой. На страницах «Философов» великие теории соседствуют с описанием причудливых выходок их авторов; казавшиеся персонажами исторических трудов фигуры обретают свои неповторимые очертания. Вечно рассеянный Адам Смит и ворчливый Карл Маркс, блистательные Давид Рикардо и Джон Мейнард Кейнс изменили наш мир, и рассказ о них вряд ли оставит равнодушными как студентов, так и тех, кто всю жизнь хотел узнать об экономике побольше, но боялся заглянуть в толстенные, напичканные формулами тома.

Adam Smith's masterpiece, first published in 1776, is the foundation of modern economic thought and remains the single most important account of the rise of, and the principles behind, modern capitalism. Written in clear and incisive prose, The Wealth of Nations articulates the concepts indispensable to an understanding of contemporary society; and Robert Reich's Introduction both clarifies Smith's analyses and illuminates his overall relevance to the world in which we live. As Reich writes, "Smith's mind ranged over issues as fresh and topical today as they were in the late eighteenth century--jobs, wages, politics, government, trade, education, business, and ethics."
