Grand Pursuit is a biography of author Sylvia Nasar.
The best -selling book A Beautiful Mind takes us into a journey through modern history with men and women who have changed the lives of each person on the planet. The epic story about the formation of modern economy and how it rescues humanity from misery and deprivation by putting its physical fate in their hands rather than in fate.
Nasar’s account started with Charles Dickens and Henry Mayhew observing and announcing the situation of the majority of the poor in London in the middle of the 19th century. She described the efforts of Marx, Engels, Alfred Marshal, Beatrice and Sydney Webb , and Irving Fisher to put those deep insights into action – with revolutionary consequences for the world.
From the great John Maynard Keynes to Schumpeter, Hayek, the disciple of Keynes Joan Robinson, American economists who have influential Paul Samuelson and Milton Freedman, and the Nobel winner of India Amartya, she show The profound understanding of how these active thoughts have transformed the world – from a city, London, to developed countries in Europe and America, and now the whole world.
We see men and women react to personal crises, world wars, revolutions, economic changes and ideas of each other to turn away from Malthus and turn the background. Gloomy science into a victory on the long -standing fate of humanity.
