Gallery of Economists: Pictures and Links


 This is the cast of characters from Robert Heilbroner's The Worldly Philosophers, in order of appearance. Each link will take you to biographical and bibliographical material on that economist at the History of Economic Thought site. From there you will find further links to many of their books and essays. The Worldly Philosophers is part of the assigned reading in my Survey of Economics course at Bellevue Community College. This course is usually offered online during each of the three regular quarters.

History of Economic Thought Web Sites

The History of Economic Thought web site at the New School for Social Research was developed by Leanne J. Ussher and Gonçalo L. Fonseca. It is a great source for biographical sketches of economists, descriptions of the different schools of economic thought, and links to the books and essays of many economists.

Rod Hay's McMaster University Archive for the History of Economic Thought is the place to find online texts of the books and essays of most of the major economists through about 1920 (copyrights prevent putting much of the later material online).

The Marx/Engels Internet Archive is the source for the works of Marx and Engels, biographical material on Marx and Engels, and even portraits and photos of Marx and Engles -- in case you want to see what Karl Marx looked like at 18.

The Warren J. Samuels Portrait Collection at Duke University contains portraits of many economists.
Picture Credits: Portraits of Smith, Owen, Saint-Simon, Mill, and Bastiat are from the Warren J. Samuels Portrait Collection. The photograph of Professor Taylor is by Heather Marks.
