The Worldly Philosophers: The Lives, Times, and Ideas of the Great Economic ThinkersThe bestselling classic that examines the history of economic thought from Adam Smith to Karl Marx "all the economic lore most general readers conceivably could want to know, served up with a flourish" (The New York Times).

The bestselling classic that examines the history of economic thought from Adam Smith to Karl Marx--"all the economic lore most general readers conceivably could want to know, served up with a flourish" (The New York Times). The Worldly Philosophers not only enables us to see more deeply into our history but helps us better understand our own times. In this seventh edition, Robert L. Heilbroner provides a new theme that connects thinkers as diverse as Adam Smith and Karl Marx. The theme is the common focus of their highly varied ideas--namely, the search to understand how a capitalist society works. It is a focus never more needed than in this age of confusing economic headlines. In a bold new concluding chapter entitled "The End of the Worldly Philosophy?" Heilbroner reminds us that the word "end" refers to both the purpose and limits of economics. This chapter conveys a concern that today's increasingly "scientific" economics may overlook fundamental social and political issues that are central to economics. Thus, unlike its predecessors, this new edition provides not just an indispensable illumination of our past but a call to action for our future.Binding Type: Paperback

So luxe
Color: Cream
I bought this not expecting a lot. I just wanted something to be able to carry my lotions from room to room in lol. I don’t like clutter and I like things to have a place so that’s all I was looking for and this was going to live in a cabinet when I wasn’t up and about around the house. This little caddy looks so luxe though! I just leave it on my coffee table sometimes and it doesn’t bother my soul lol… it would be a great remote holder. If you don’t mind them showing a little bit lol and I really think this would make a really nice bedside caddy which is partially that used. I was going forward with this would buy this again and again.

Good quality
Color: Beige
Really good quality, doesn't look like a cheap item, has a nice weight to it so it isn't falling over when it has multiple remotes and such in it. Nice to know where the remote "should" be for a change.

It is really well made and perfect for travel!
It is just like the picture and it is lovely. Plenty of room and under the tray it is large enough for changes with pendents.
It is perfect for a girl and will be perfect for the amount of jewerly you take when traveling.
Thank You!
