================= HES POSTING ================= Daniel Fusfeld's The Age of the Economist, 8th Ed. (Addison-Wesley, 1999) may suffice. It's of a similar genre. It is considerably shorter than Literate Economist. E.K. Hunt's Property and Profits, 7th Ed. (HarperCollins, 1995) is worth examining--assuming it is still in print. Heilbroner's Teachings from the Worldly Philosophy (Norton, 1996) is a great collection of excerpts from original sources. I assume you have contemplated Heilbroner's Worldly Philosophers. As for HET texts proper, I think Brue's The Evolution of Economic Thought, 5th Ed. (Dryden, 1994) and Colander and Landreth's History of Economic Thought (Houghton-Mifflin, 1994) are the most approachable for students with limited background in econ.
