Why read it?

1 author picked Capitalism and Its Critics as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I like this book because it is a really helpful guide to all of the great thinkers who have grappled with what capitalism is, from Adam Smith to the present. And it does so in a single volume.

One of the things I also really liked about the book is that one learns about the individuals and their lives and challenges. So, it is like having lots and lots of small biographies.
