Linda Yueh: history's 'greatest economists' and how their ideas can help us today

How can the ideas of history's greatest economists - from Adam Smith and David Ricardo through Joan Robinson and Milton Friedman to Douglass North and Robert Solow - help us think about the biggest economic challenges of our time? Linda Yueh's new book seeks to answer this question through studying 12 economists whose thinking has changed the world. She discusses her work with Artemis Photiadou.
