Reviews of the new book
"50 Economics Classics is a celebration of the large imaginative canvasses of the great economists. Butler-Bowdon’s choices are broad, interdisciplinary and compellingly idiosyncratic...his chapters are not simply straight summaries of the chosen works, but thoughtful reflections on why we should care about this or that book and what its relevance is for us today...One possible problem with the book is that Butler-Bowdon’s renderings are done so well that one might never bother going back to the original! Professional economists, students and general readers alike will find much here to delight in and many new byways to explore."
Niall Kishtainy, LSE Review of Books
“Tom Butler-Bowdon’s extremely useful 50 Economics Classics summarises the best of the must-reads, leaving you, after a mere 350 pages, much more in control of your budding economic prowess...To round up the best of the best is a manifestly good idea, and to have these works presented in a consistently detailed and accurate way makes ‘50 Economics Classics’ something of a modern classic in its own right.”
Nick Smith, E&T (Engineering & Technology)
"Economics giants such as Adam Smith, Karl Marx and Milton Friedman feature heavily, but one of the book's big plus points for me is that it has room for more contemporary authors and ideas…the book is a well-written affair by an author obviously in full control of his subject.”
Tom Herbert, Accounting Web
"A good starting point for someone new to economics wanting a general overview. Capturing the essence of a book in 3 pages is a difficult task. Tom Butler-Bowdon is a very well-read person with this rare skill."
Diane Coyle, author of GDP: A brief but affectionate history
"I've read 50 Economics Classics cover to cover. It's a great achievement and I wish I'd had it when doing A level economics."
Richard Koch, author of The 80/20 Principle
