Great Economists and Debates
Reading them means understanding the debates hidden behind every economic policy. This section presents the major thinkers—Smith, Ricardo, Keynes, Friedman, Hayek, Schumpeter—and the contemporary debates on inequality (Piketty, Milanovic, Stiglitz, Acemoglu). It also takes on the great economic myths, those received ideas about markets, money, and crises. I approach them as an active trader since 1994 and an economic historian: what each school got right, where ideology took over from facts, and why no theory has the last word. The articles offer keys for thinking about economics on your own, from the classics to today’s controversies.
