The Big Three in Economics: Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keynes
The Big Three in Economics reveals the battle of ideas among the three most influential economists: Adam Smith, representing laissez faire; Karl Marx, reflecting the radical socialist model; and John Maynard Keynes, symbolizing big government and the welfare state. History comes alive in this fascinating story of opposing views that continue to play a fundamental role in today's politics and economics. In the twenty-first century, Adam Smith's 'invisible hand' model has gained the upper hand, and capitalism has ultimately won the ideological battle over socialism and interventionism.
In this definitive volume, over 80 distinguished contributors from four continents provide authoritative critical discussion of the principal areas of controversy in post Keynesian economics, including all significant issues in methodology, economic theory, applied economics and policy.
Each entry surveys the relevant literature and highlights the strengths and weaknesses of post Keynesian contributions. The Companion deals with areas of continuing debate inside post Keynesianism and sheds light on the current relationship between post Keynesians, mainstream economics and alternative heterodox schools of thought.

Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in the Markets and in Life
This book is about luck -- or more precisely how we perceive and deal with luck in business and life. Set against the backdrop of the most conspicuous forum in which luck is mistaken for skill -- the world of trading -- Fooled by Randomness is a captivating insight into one of the least understood factors in all our lives. Writing in an entertaining and narrative style, the author succeeds in tackling and explaining three major intellectual issues: the problem of induction, the survivorship biases, and our genetic unfitness to the modern world.
