Adventures of an Economist

by Franco Modigliani

Adventures of an Economist Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Adventures of an Economist is both an autobiography and an uncommon opportunity to share the thinking of one of the world's most brilliant and influential economists. Franco Modigliani takes the reader on a journey from his childhood in Rome through Fascism, his flight from Nazism, and his arrival in the United States.

Book News Annotation:

Not the material for a block-buster action film, but an autobiography of Modigliani (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), winner of the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1985. He begins with his birth in Rome in 1918, and chronicles his life and work in the US, Europe, and Italy. An academic through and through, he includes notes and an index.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
