Taking the same approach as the bestselling 'Great Investors', this book neatly summarises the 10 most influential economic theorists including Marx, Keynes, Ricardo, Friedman and Hayek. Neatly structured, each chapter follows the same format: it begins with a commonly used phrase relating to each economist, followed by a short biographical overview, the events that affected their thinking, key theories, and their legacy and who they have influenced. The chapter then ends with a verdict on their theoretical position.

And are some things really too big to fail? This book introduces you to the fundamentals of economics and monetary policy. It'll help you become more knowledgeable about economics and will give you an awareness that will help you in good times and bad

It is the definitive book for football, music and fashion obsessives alike.
