Zusatztext "[T]his book is . . . a must-read especially for . . . those who are contemplating going into graduate training in economics . . . and for all those who have influence on the content and design of graduate programmes in economics. For all others this can still be a book for the coffee-table, since my own experience has shown that it does function quite well as a conversation starter." ---René L. P. Mahieu, Erasmus Journal For Philosophy and Economics Informationen zum Autor David Colander Klappentext " The Making of an Economist, Redux is self-recommending. David Colander's work on the profession of economics is by far the best we have. A significant follow-up to his book of twenty years ago, it will become the standard account of what economics graduate school is like." --Tyler Cowen, George Mason University "This work is an essential read for undergraduates considering graduate work in economics; it is also valuable reading for anyone interested in learning about what is being taught, and how it is being taught, at the top-ranked institutions in the field."--M.L. White, Choice Zusammenfassung Shows what is happening in US economics PhD programs. By examining these programs, this book offers a view of economics.
