From Tyler Cowen:
"Do you yearn for something more than a book? And yet still love books? How about a book you can query, and it will answer away to your heart’s content? How about a book that will create its own content, on demand, or allow you to rewrite it? A book that will tell you why it is (sometimes) wrong?
That is what I have tried to build with my latest work. It’s called GOAT: Who is the Greatest Economist of all Time and Why Does it Matter?"
Adam Smith, because, "Wealth of Nations"
Right. He was the icebreaker and brought the abstract idea of the ''invisible hand'' into the scientific discussion.
For me it's Hayek. I've never seen another economist who is as humble and awed with the massive complexity of the world. Hayek pushed the economic discipline to seriously consider learning and knowledge
