Updating David Colander and Arjo Klamer's classic The Making of an Economist, this book shows what is happening in elite U.S. economics Ph.D. programs. By examining these programs, Colander gives a view of cutting-edge economics--and a glimpse at its likely future. And by comparing economics education today to the findings of the original book, the new book shows how much--and in what ways--the field has changed over the past two decades. The original book led to a reexamination of graduate education by the profession, and has been essential reading for prospective graduate students. Like its predecessor, The Making of an Economist, Redux is likely to provoke discussion within economics and beyond. The book includes new interviews with students at Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, Chicago, and Columbia. In these conversations, the students--the next generation of elite economists--colorfully and frankly describe what they think of their field and what graduate economics education is really like. The book concludes with reflections by Colander, Klamer, and Robert Solow. This inside look at the making of economists will interest anyone who wants to better understand the economics profession. An indispensible tool for anyone thinking about graduate education in economics, this edition is complete with colorful interviews and predictions about the future of cutting-edge economics. 606 $aEconomics$xStudy and teaching (Graduate)$zUnited States 606 $aEconomists$zUnited States 606 $aGraduate students$zUnited States 615 0$aEconomics$xStudy and teaching (Graduate) 615 0$aEconomists 615 0$aGraduate students 676 $a330.071/173 686 $aQB 100$qBSZ$2rvk 700 $aColander$b David C$0124935 701 $aKlamer$b Arjo$0120334 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778218003321 996 $aThe making of an economist, redux$93861438 997 $aUNINA
