Rezensionen
'In the style of Robert Heilbroner's Worldly Philosophers, Thomas Karier offers us a perspective on modern economics. Whereas Heilbroner used the backdrop of the lives and accomplishments of the classical economists, Intellectual Capital uses the backdrop of the lives and accomplishments of the Nobel Prize winners. Karier thus gives an easy and lively introduction to a difficult subject: what is modern economics, and what motivates it. Nor is he lacking in strong opinions.' George A. Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in Economics 2001, University of California, Berkeley
