This
book presents in detail the authenticated accounts
of the lives and contributions of all the thirty-seven
economists who have been awarded the Noble Prize in
Economics from 1969 to 1994. This book, set in three
volumes, is a great effort by the author, which presents
an encyclopaedic survey of the work done by these
Nobel laureates. Uptodate lists of contributions of
each of the thirty-seven laureates have been annexed
to the respective chapters, which enhance the value
of the book.
Prof. Jan Tinbergen, the first Nobel laureate in Economics
in his ?Foreword? has said that: ?I feel that to have
conceived the idea of writing on the economic ideas
of all the Nobel Prize winning economists was an ambitious
object on the part of the author and he has eminently
succeeded in his effort. The scattered material of
the various economists are not only brought together
in one place but are also presented in an analytical
and lucid manner.... The book gives a kind of thinking
and changes which the subject of economics has witnessed
over the years. The presentation of the life sketches
of the economists is well-done.... The economists
all over the world will find this work very useful
....This book is the first of its kind in the entire
world?a pioneering landmark in the field of history
of contemporary economic thought.? The economists,
teachers and students all over the world will find
this pioneering encyclopaedic work very informative
and useful.
