I'm winding down by browsing some blogs I haven't visited for a while, and found this very helpful review on the Understanding Society blog of a new book by Marc Blaug and Peter Lloyd, Famous Figures and Diagrams in Economics. Confession time: I find diagrams hard to follow and struggled with them – can't read graphic novels either – although I love graphs and data visualisations. But for those whose understanding is aided by diagrams, the Blaug and Lloyd book sounds excellent.
Time now to make mince pies. Merry Christmas to all!
$190!! Here's a diagram of me not ordering it from Amazon 🙂
Indeed! There are still publishers (Edward Elgar has long done this) who price books for the small number of copies they know libraries feel they will have to order. But the practice is in decline, as library budgets go down and reading habits change.
