Absolutley Seminal,
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. Every equation derived is done so methodically, without the logical leaps that typify most technical textbooks and monographs. Altough the mathematics of the book are what gives "Foundations" its great authority (see Samuelson on "The Apotheosis of the Calculus"), Samuelson's prose is lucid and engaging. This book is absolutely essential for any student of technical economics. But it did leave me wondering: does economics really lend itself, as physics does, and as Samuelson posits, to the most technical applied and theoretical mathematics? But no matter....

This review is from: Foundations of Economic Analysis: Enlarged Edition (Harvard Economic Studies) (Paperback)
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
