Review: A Little History of Economics

A Little History of Economics A Little History of Economics by Niall Kishtainy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hooter: A beginner friendly walk through the history of economics

Not trying to drown oneself in the intellectual nitty gritties of economics, Niall tries to provide a layman perspective to the evolution of economics over the years and the major players in those times - also adding the prevalent conditions to why it probably made sense then in terms of the theories we consider outdated today. He manages to add a breezy element to reading and learning about economics. He makes Adamn Smith, Fourier, Keynes, Amartya Sen a lot more human and their award winning concepts a lot more relatable. This level of simplicity comes from the mastery of the subject he seems to have.
