Famous figures and diagrams in economics

Abstract

'A picture is said to be worth a thousand words. A picture can easily be worth two or three equations, and it is certainly more memorable. I can draw and use an Edgeworth box more quickly than I can write down its formulas. There is a vast amount of economics packed into the 58 diagrams and expert commentaries in this unique book. Take it with you to your favourite desert island. All you need is a sandy beach and a pointed stick.' - Robert Solow, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US. © Mark Blaug and Peter Lloyd 2010.
