Edith Kuiper

A chapter in A Research Annual, 2004, pp 419-428 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: Paul Strathern’s book,A Brief History of Economic Genius, is a history of economic thought that is written for the general public. The book contains photographs, no footnotes and a very limited list of sources that functions as a list of “further reading” advice. This book stands in a long line of over more than forty books by Paul Strathern on the lives and works of great philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato, Locke, Kant, Wittgenstein, Nietzsche, Hegel, and Madame Curie as the exceptional woman scientist. In these books he introduces the lay reader in an accessible and brief manner to often complicated ideas. As his other books,A Brief Historytells the life stories of scholars, which are here woven into an account of the history of economics.
