Heilbroner/Milberg is the only introductory level text that traces the development of our economic society from the Middle Ages to the present, offering a balanced perspective on why our economy is the way it is and where it may be headed.
"Would you like an introductory level book that gives students a historical perspective on how our market economy came to be? Would you also like a book that helps students contemplate where our economic society is headed in the future?"
Although the first part of The Making of Economic Society has as its purpose explaining how the economy came to be what it is, the second part seeks to help us anticipate what that world may look like in the future.
"Are you considering this book for a freshmen level non-majors course, or are you considering it for a course taught to economics majors?"
Heilbroner/Milberg was written to be accessible to readers, regardless of their economic background and it is widely used in courses taught to freshmen and sophomores, as well as juniors and seniors.
