Hirschman (1915-2012) has been described as "one of the most original social scientists of the twentieth century" and one whose "pioneering work in development studies and his analyses of social change, the history of capitalism, and the workings of democracy" placed him squarely in the major intellectual and political debates of his times. (Albert O. Hirschman An Intellectual Biography, Michele Alacevich, Columbia University Press, 2021). Hirschman's first major publication after the end of World War II, during which Hirschman was credited with helping to save over 2,000 Jews from the clutches of Hitler's Germany.
