This second edition continues to mark a departure from what is usually found in a biographical dictionary for, in addition to providing standard biographical information, living economists have themselves been asked to state their principal contributions to economics, supplemented by a list of their leading books and articles.
A Biographical Dictionary of Dissenting Economists, Second Edition will continue to be an essential reference source for instructors, researchers and students of economics, its development and history.

Critical Acclaim
‘This is a fascinating book of the personal stories of how heterodoxy re-emerged, evolved, survived and developed. It makes great reading, not only for sheer enjoyment, but also for gaining insight into the major concerns, theories and policies of dissenting political economy. It is a ‘must buy’ for anyone interested in alternative perspectives of economy and society, and it is essential for every university library. The editors have done a great job in bringing to life the main concerns of the dissenters in a humanistic fashion. The revival of heterodox political economy commenced in earnest in the 1960s and it is now maturing. Also, its various schools are starting to recognise the many unifying or complementary aspects of its development. This volume provides many insights into the critical concerns likely to become more important in the future, as an increasing number of economists recognise the importance of a broader study of the social and political foundations of production, distribution and exchange, and the reproduction of the institutions underlying such activities.’
– Phillip Anthony O’Hara, History of Economics Review
‘. . . the Dictionary is a very useful reference for those who conduct research in heterodox political economics. It is also strongly recommended for those who want to investigate how historical events shape an economist’s view . . . [the] editors and the publisher of this Dictionary should be congratulated on their foresight in publishing this book.’
– Tony Fu-Lai Yu, Australian Economic History Review
‘This is a practical and interesting guide to the origins, philosophies, and writings of some 100 economists and social scientists. . . . this reference work will be a valuable guide to the diversity and richness of opinion that can make economics more relevant and appealing. . . . it offers a useful guide to the potential diversity of modern economic thought; it not only provides useful information, it is entertaining to read.’
– Timothy E. Sullivan, American Reference Books Annual 2002
Acclaim for the first edition:
