Product Information
The author of the groundbreaking bestseller A Beautiful Mind takes the reader on a journey of discovery--how the greatest invention of modern times, economics, has changed the lives of every single human being. In a sweeping narrative, the author of the megabestseller A Beautiful Mind takes us on a journey through modern history with the men and women who changed the lives of every single person on the planet. It's the epic story of the making of modern economics, and of how economics rescued mankind from squalor and deprivation by placing its material fate in its own hands rather than in Fate. Nasar's account begins with Charles Dickens and Henry Mayhew observing and publishing the condition of the poor majority in mid-nineteenth-century London, the richest and most glittering place in the world. This was a new pursuit. She describes the often heroic efforts of Marx, Engels, Alfred Marshall, Beatrice and Sydney Webb, and the American Irving Fisher to put those insights into action--with revolutionary consequences for the world. From the great John Maynard Keynes to Schumpeter, Hayek, Keynes's disciple Joan Robinson, the influential American economists Paul Samuelson and Milton Freedman, and India's Nobel Prize winner Amartya Sen, she shows how the insights of these activist thinkers transformed the world--from one city, London, to the developed nations in Europe and America, and now to the entire planet. In Nasar's dramatic narrative of these discoverers we witness men and women responding to personal crises, world wars, revolutions, economic upheavals, and each other's ideas to turn back Malthus and transform the dismal science into a triumph over mankind's hitherto age-old destiny of misery and early death. This idea, unimaginable less than 200 years ago, is a story of trial and error, but ultimately transcendent, as it is rendered here in a stunning and moving narrative.

Reviews
"One of the many wonderful things about Nasar's book is that in it, economic genius isn't limited to the usual suspects….Even when exploring famous economic minds, Nasar brings out the humanity in the dismal science by showing their ideas are nearly always rooted in formative experiences." -- TIME Magazine, "One of the many wonderful things about Nasar's book is that in it, economic genius isn't limited to the usual suspects....Even when exploring famous economic minds, Nasar brings out the humanity in the dismal science by showing their ideas are nearly always rooted in formative experiences." -- TIME Magazine, eoe[This] is the story of the evolution of a radical, planet-reshaping ideaeThe canvas is epiceThe details are fresh, at times startlingeAt the same time, gnarly but critical conceptseshine through in all their richness and complexity. If only Econ 101 had been this interesting!e e" Fortune, " A Beautiful Mind tells a moving story and offers a remarkable look into the arcane world of mathematics and the tragedy of madness." - The New York Times Book Review, "Nasar brilliantly brings to life game-changing economists from Marx to Hayek and from Sidney Webb to Milton Friedman, tracing the evolution of modern economic thinking through the richly detailed stories of the men and woman who reshaped how we think of life's possibilities. . . . This is an utterly fascinating book on many levels. . . . A Beautiful Mind, Nasar's previous book, was about an economist named John Nash, but Nasar's mind is pretty good, too. No lesser mind could have written a book so rich, so compelling, so important, and so much fun." --Mickey Edwards, The Boston Globe, eoeA fascinating excursion into the economic ideas and personalities that have deposited most of us at a standard of living unparalleled in human historyeengrossingeNasar, who wrote A Beautiful Mind, eis drawn to intellectual giants.

Long, Cleveland Plain Dealer, "A timely reminder of the importance of the so-called dismal science. . . . Written almost as a novel and aimed at those without a background in economics, the book charts capitalism's evolution through the eyes of the people who invented it. . . . It is compellingly written, full of detail and vivid anecdotes, and with a refreshing focus on people rather than prices." --Gregor Hunter, The Nation, eoeA timely reminder of the importance of the so-called dismal science. . . .

It is compellingly written, full of detail and vivid anecdotes, and with a refreshing focus on people rather than prices.e --Gregor Hunter, The Nation, "Grand Pursuit is a history of economics which is full of flesh, bloom and warmth. The author demonstrates that there is far more to economics than Thomas Carlyle's "dismal science". And she does so with all the style and panache that you would expect from the author of the 1998 bestseller, A Beautiful Mind. . . . A wonderful book. Grand Pursuit deserves a place not only in every economist's study but also on every serious reader's bedside table." -- The Economist, eoeNasar has written a compelling history of modern economics, a story of the theorists as well as of their theories. . . . Grand Pursuit is artfully rendered and a delight to read. . . . One suspects that future economics textbooks will warrant some revisions. All the same, their authors would profit from consulting Grand Pursuit .e -- Bloomberg BusinessWeeke(tm)s **FIVE STAR** Review, "A fascinating excursion into the economic ideas and personalities that have deposited most of us at a standard of living unparalleled in human history...engrossing...Nasar, who wrote A Beautiful Mind, ...is drawn to intellectual giants.
