Review

"The book is a good reference for teachers of the history of economic thought or philosophy of economics." The Southern Economic Journal

"...I recommend this volume to anyone interested in a lively debate about the intellectual cross-pollination between the natural and social sciences. Many of the essays are provocative." John C. Moorhouse, Reason Papers

Book Description

The first serious encounter between the science studies community and historians of economic thought, this 1994 book will serve to integrate previously disjointed inquiries. Numerous examples over three centuries are explored in the light of the new history of science, from Quesnay to Marshall to Jevons and Hayek.
