“Economics is not an exact science. It's a combination of an art and elements of science. And that's almost the first and last lesson to be learned about economics: that in my judgment, we are not converging toward exactitude, but we're improving our data bases and our ways of reasoning about them” (Paul,1). Despite Paul Samuelson’s accomplishments, his life growing up was not as ideal as a child would like. Paul was born in Gary, Indiana on May 15, 1915 to parents Frank and Ella Samuelson. Frank Samuelson was a pharmacist, who had financial difficulties after WWI. Thus, the family was forced to move to Chicago, Illinois. Enrolling at the early age of 16 to the University of Chicago, on his first day of college he claimed he was “Born as an

Adam Smith born the year 1723 was thought to be one of the world’s greatest economists. In Fact he was known as the father of economy. He was also known by the way he thought and the way he wrote about the country's economy and in this paper I will explain the way he described and the way he thought of the economy and why his thoughts have carried on for the last two hundred years.

Since the early days of the United States, the Founding Fathers and other brilliant minds sought ways to understand and make sense of the inner workings of society and the economic market. Out of the many thinkers and developers of that time period, perhaps none made so great an impact on American society as the Scottish contemporary philosopher and political economist, Adam Smith—who is most known for his influential work, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, By the early nineteenth century, other streams of economic theory emerged from various individuals who were also influenced by the ideas of Smith. Some of these individuals included David Ricardo, Karl Marx and later John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman—each of whom contributed their own ideas on economic activity. However, it was Smith’s ideas on capitalism and his laissez-faire approach to free markets that have transcended other economic theories and continue to impact American economic thought to this day.

Many of his writings contributed to the Neoclassical Marginalist Revolution in the early 1900’s. This was the great shift from classical to neoclassical economics. He was also a big advocate of the League of Nations, because of his promotion of healthy living and world peace, and this in turn helped to eventually create the United Nations. His theories, no matter how controversial, helped shape economics into what it is

He would discuss the behavior in people, specifically what do they want and how do they go about getting it. He argued that people are rational, in this way he means that the average person will be looking to increase their own wealth. Adam Smith even went so far as to say people are selfish when it comes to economics. He is essentially saying that almost every human will think before they buy something and think “What is this worth to me?” This can range from getting a cab instead of walking or spending six hundred dollars on a new phone.

In Alexander Kern’s “Emerson and Economics,” Kern draws attention to the economical aspects found in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s texts. Specifically, Kern discusses the lack of attention that Emerson’s economical notions receive. Emerson is not associated with being an economist writer, but Kern draws attention to how “he so frequently touched the subject than an understanding of his economic ideas is a prerequisite to the evaluation of his entire thought on any relative or absolute scale” (Kern 678). Kern’s theory that readers must extract the economics out of Emerson in order to comprehend his texts is extremely useful because it sheds insight on the difficult problem of viewing Emerson as an economist, yet he views Emerson as a moral

Johannes Kepler was born in a small town in Germany during the late sixteenth century. His discoveries helped change the world and influence people such as Isaac Newton who actually derived his universal law of gravitation from Kepler’s Laws. Kepler learned many things such as what causes the oceans tides and had his own version of Fermat’s Last Theorem called Kepler’s Last Theorem. Kepler even proved logarithms and developed volumes of solids by revolution which contributed to calculus. Kepler is probably most noted, however, for formulated his three laws of planetary motion.

“To those who still uphold the traditions of religious and political thought that influenced the shaping of our society and the founding of our government, it is astonishing, and of course discouraging, to see economics now elevated to the positon of ultimate

Other significant contribution or achievement of Milton Friedman in economy field is in economics scholarly. He had introduced a few of rule, function and hypothesis such as Friedman Rule, Friedman’s K-percent Rule, saving utility function and permanent- income hypothesis.

Say got credited with more than what came to get known as Say 's Law of Markets.
