5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutley Seminal, December 6, 1999
This review is from: Foundations of Economic Analysis: Enlarged Edition (Harvard Economic Studies) (Paperback)
Samuelson's "Foundations" may be the most important book on mathematical economics ever written. This remarkable book thoroughly treats every area of modern economic theory -- from international trade to portfolio theory -- in an elegant and concise manner.

This book is absolutely essential for any student of technical economics.

If you have to get a review of this book from Amazon, you will find it considerably too technical and mathematical for anyone without graduate level economics. Nevertheless, it is one of the ten most important economics books books of the(previous) century
