2,475 words (approx. 9.9 pages) | 8 sources | 2006 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper discusses the biographical development of Smith, Malthus, Ricardo, Mill, Marx, Marshall, and Keynes. The paper analyzes the premise that these economists' biographical development also deeply influenced their economic theories to some degree. The degree of this influence is apparent in relation to Marx's poverty and his subsequent development of socialism and its redistribution of wealth.
