520 _aEconomics in Perspective is a broad, critical, and highly readable history of economic thought from antiquity through the 20th century, written by one of the most influential economists of the 20th century, John Kenneth Galbraith. Rather than treating economics as a rigid, technical science, Galbraith argues that economic ideas have always been shaped by their social, political, and historical settings. The book critiques mainstream neoclassical economics and highlights the roles of thinkers like: Adam Smith (the foundations of capitalism), Karl Marx (economic determinism and socialism), John Maynard Keynes (macroeconomics and the welfare state), and corporate power in the modern era. His narrative blends economics with storytelling, often laced with wit and skepticism, making it accessible to students, general readers, and critics of economic orthodoxy.
