Description

Economists tend to devote themselves to the technical frontiers of their discipline. But in political economy the important decisions are made, not by experts, but by ordinary public officials and voters, who need edification in the basics. This task is neglected by academic economists. Academic rewards go instead to refiners of the frontier. In this text great economists of the 20th-century Hayek, Coase, Schelling, Tullock, Kirzner, Graham, Hutt, Philobrook and McCloskey explore the existential question for economists: how do they contribute to human betterment?

Author Biography:

DANIEL KLEIN is a Associate Professor of Economics at Santa Clara University. He discovered economics during high school through a friend who used economic principles to explain why school was so bad. Ever since, Klein has believed in the power of economics to interpret the world and to persuade people to see things differently. He teaches courses in economic principles, public policy issues, and game theory. He is the co-author of Curb Rights: A Foundation for Free Enterprise in Urban Transit, and editor of Reputation: Studies in the Voluntary Elicitation of Good Conduct.
