Review:
"A wonderfully diverse collection of first-rate articles by some of the best economic historians around."--Joel Mokyr "Northwestern University "
"Paul Rhode, Joshua Rosenbloom, and David Weiman . . . start with a tremendous advantage in that the scholar they honor, Gavin Wright, is one of the true greats in [economics]. Wright's research is remarkable for both its scope and its diversity of method, and the editors have put together a volume that shares these qualities."--Carolyn M. Moehling "EH.Net "
"This volume constitutes a bold and refreshing contribution to the field of economic history. The high quality essays included are as exciting as they are important."--Peter A. Coclanis
"This is a superb collection of studies, giving strong evidence on the role of history in determining the evolution of the economy, in particular the way present contours are influenced by specific elements of past history.This work shows the ways in which economic theory must demonstrate the dependence of the economy on the past, as well as the ways in which theory has illuminated history."--Kenneth J. Arrow, Stanford University
