The Founding Texts of Economics: Reading Smith’s Wealth of Nations, Marx’s Capital and Keynes’s General Theory

Smith’s Wealth of Nations, Marx’s Capital and Keynes’s General Theory are foundational to any study of economics. These great books are being read less as the price of their success. The aim of this book is to encourage the reader to re-read these texts, by providing theoretical and conceptual entries in the spirit of a reasoned dictionary.
