"History comes alive in this fascinating story of opposing views that continue to play a fundamental role in today's politics and economics. "The Big Three in Economics" traces the turbulent lives and battle of ideas of the three most influential economists in world history: Adam Smith, representing laissez faire; Karl Marx, reflecting the radical socialist model; and John Maynard Keynes, symbolizing big government and the welfare state. Each view has had a significant influence on shaping the modern world, and the book traces the development of each philosophy through the eyes of its creator. In the twenty-first century, Adam Smith's "invisible hand" model has gained the upper hand, and capitalism appears to have won the battle of ideas over socialism and interventionism. But author Mark Skousen shows that, even in the era of globalization and privatization, Keynesian and Marxian ideas continue to play a significant role in economic policy."

"ABSTRAKSkripsi ini membahas pencapaian kesejahteraan pribadi manusia secara egoisme rasional. Dua bentuk egoisme rasional yang dibahas dalam skripsi ini adalah simpati berdasarkan pemikiran Adam Smith, dan kompromi berdasarkan pemikiran Ayn Rand. Simpati disebut sebagai bentuk egoisme rasional karena kesejahteraan orang lain adalah implikasi dari tindakan yang dilakukan demi pemaksimalam self-interest, namun ada bentuk self-interest yang lebih relevan dikarenakan adanya pertukaran value bagi kedua pihak, yaitu kompromi. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kualitatif dengan dasar argumentatif antara kedua konsep tersebut. Hasil dari penelitian ini adalah konsep kompromi lebih kuat dibandingkan simpati sebagai bentuk pemaksimalan self-interest, dan kompromi dapat terjadi karena adanya simpati.

"Skripsi ini membahas mengenai konsep komitmen sebagai kritik terhadap konsep simpati dalam melihat motif ekonomi. Teori ekonomi menempatkan self-interest sebagai satu-satunya motif atas tindakan yang dilakukan. Konsep simpati kemudian mengembangkan asumsi ini dengan memasukkan kesejahteraan orang lain sebagai motif. Namun, simpati masih jatuh pada asumsi egoism karena kesejahteraan orang lain hanya implikasi dari tindakan yang dilakukan demi pemaksimalam self-interest. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan desain argumentatif terhadap keterbatasan konsep yang dipakai untuk menganalisa motif ekonomi. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa konsep komitmen lebih relevan dari pada konsep simpati untuk menjelaskan bahwa ada tindakan yang dilakukan terlepas dari pemaksimalan self-interest.

The focus of this study is examines the concept of commitment as a critic of the concept of sympathy as an economic motive. Economic theory places self-interest as the only motive in any economic action. The concept of sympathy develops this assumption by adding the motive to care for other persons welfare. However, because the motive to care for other peoples welfare is actually only an implication of actions taken to maximize the gains dictated by self-interest, concept of sympathy still falls under the assumption of egoism. This research, in which is of a qualitative manner, argues against the limitations of the concept used in the analysis of economic motives. It concludes that the concept of commitment is more relevant than the concept of sympathy in explaining the actions of which are done outside the motivations of self-interest."
