Question

The works of adam smith; volume 3 george j.W. Goodman

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The dust jacket proclaims a "modern classic." My proclamation is less grand. In 1968, this was a monumental book. It remained a #1 bestseller for over a year, and that was back when people were reading books. George Goodman pioneered a new way of writing about economics (and later won 5 Emmys for his radio broadcasts). In a cruel twist, many of the essays are so dated that only crusty historians will find this book worth reading in its entirety. The thesis--that high finance is dramaticized to the point that it's kind of silly--perhaps cements this book's reputation as a true classic. I'm refusing to pass such judgment, as it feels inappropriate to criticize a man who spent his entire life trying to break down the barriers between average people and the mysticism of markets.
