The general information page on this site lists specific articles/books of these figures.  Additional details are also available in syllabus and bibliography sections.       

 

Wikipedia and the History of Economic Thought websites list detailed information about these and other key figures.  The latter is an excellent source for reference.  It lists most of the important economists – past and present.

 

Want some humour?  Read the Walrasiad – an economics epic…an example of epical economics…?  You judge…Also check out ‘Life Among the Econ’ by Leijonhufvud.
