Making of Modern Economics

I have been busy doing up my lecture notes on economic history based on Mark Skousen's survey, "The Making of Modern Economics" I found the book really interesting and engaging, and it was really the book that inspired me to do up a set of lecture notes for my interns.

It's also a discovery process for me as well. As a student of economics, we learn about all the important economists of the past, but we never quite had a sense of the lives they lived, the economic arguments that put forth and the whole flow of the economic thought and history.

I stumbled across this book in the library and its quite a find. Have renewed once and it's due for the past 6 days, I know I am racking up quite a fine, but will try to complete the ppt slides. Its standing at 130+ slides right now. Still haven't had the chance to insert all the pictures etc...
