About this title

Review:

Economists can learn a lot about their 'science' by reading this book, and, at the same time, enjoy the experience.--James M. Buchanan, Nobel Laureate in Economics, 1986

Nelson can be commended for attempting such a wide-ranging survey of Western intellectual thought and for challenging readers to evaluate for themselves the place of modern economic analysis in the scheme of intellectual inquiry.--Robert A. Black, Houghton College, Christian Scholar's Review
