Synopsis of A Plea to Economists Who Favour Liberty

«A Plea to Economists Who Favour Liberty» is Daniel B. Klein's political economy essay, in paperback (107 pages, in English).

The essay poses the economist's dilemma: to research as an isolated academic or to educate the public in economic ideas to influence policy. Klein argues that without communication with the «common man» economics loses influence; excessive scholasticism damages policy-oriented research and teaching.

Published in the Occasional Paper series (no. 118) of the Institute of Economic Affairs, with comments by John Flemming, Charles Goodhart, Israel M. Kirzner, Deirdre McCloskey and Gordon Tullock.

For readers interested in economics, political philosophy and the debate on the public role of economists.
