The Lives and Deaths of Great Economists

New Hardback

Postscript summary

These concise, darkly humorous biographies summarize the lives and insights of 13 major economists. Some are well known, like Bentham, whose corpse is preserved at University College London; Schumpeter, who communed with his dead wife and mother; and Keynes, who provides the book’s title. Others are less famed but equally influential, including Richard Cantillon, who died in a house fire in 1734, and Alexander Chayanov, executed by Stalin in 1937.
