In this short essay, the author and economist Nikos Papandreou analyzes Andreas's contribution to economic science.

The narrative is structured around the historical events of the era in which Andreas lived and vividly places him on the grand canvas of the history of modern economic thought.

Starting with some doubts about the theories he taught, we see that years after his initial steps at Harvard, he reaches the point of strongly disagreeing with the essence of economic theory and, finally, proposing his own Marxist model for the operation of the capitalist system.
