Reviews

[Sara Leacock]

This books of lectures contained some interesting ideas, but nothing that really changed my life. It also suffered from the fact that it was group of lectures that the author was never able to actually turn into a book before dying.

[Franz]

This book isn't nearly as interesting or enlightening as I thought it would be. Viner's poor interpretation of Adam Smith's invisible hand threw some doubt on the validity fo the rest of his arguments.
