    Economist and journalist Sylvia Nasar is the author of A Beautiful Mind, the bestselling biography of the schizophrenic—and Nobel Prize-winning—mathematician John Nash. The book won the National Book Critics Circle Award and inspired an Academy Award-winning film starring Russell Crowe. Her new book brings to life some of the most important thinkers in 20th century economics, from Friedrich Engels and John Maynard Keynes to F. A. Hayek and Amartya Sen. Grand Pursuit shows how each was able to use economics as a tool to improve mankind’s fate through advancing its material circumstances.
