Abstract
Each chapter sets an economic theory and its creator’s key ideas and concepts in both a historical and a biographical context, as much as is necessary to enable the reader to understand the environment in which the economic theory was conceived. Great ideas have often been inspired by their immediate surroundings, as in the case of Adam Smith, who interacted with merchants and had thus gained a practical knowledge of the economy.
