McCann (economics, Univ. of Pittsburgh) provides an interesting and useful source for quotations in economics. Unlike most quote books, entries are entire paragraphs instead of just simple phrases, giving greater context for each quotation. Authors include economists, scientists, sociologists, theologians, poets, philosophers, and many others who contributed to our understanding of economics or who made interesting observations about economics. Entries are arranged alphabetically by author then by subject, rather than subject then author, which makes quotes by a particular author easier to find, but what all the quoted authors have to say about a particular subject harder to find. Because the book is arranged by author, it has a very detailed subject index. The bibliography of sources for the quotations makes it easy to locate more of the context for a particular quotation
