Blaug is a history of economic though and is far from "practical way". Moreover what concerns me is that Blaug wrote the book way before I was born i.e. over 30 years ago[1]. There are things we simply know better today, a lot of things happened even since 1997 when the book was published in a new edition, there is a lot of new data concerning the recent crisis and measures applied by governments to mitigate the problem.

But nevertheless a great read!
