The Impact of the Social Sciences.

£50 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

A slim work on the status and progress of the social sciences by the English-born American economist and educator Kenneth E. Boulding. ‘The steadfast purpose that Boulding pursued in his work has been integration of knowledge. Instead of following the endlessly ramifying paths of specialized research in his chosen discipline, he sought to reach out from his ‘home base’ in economics to knowledge generated in other fields and, above all, to establish a leverage for deriving common vocabularies, conceptual frameworks, and methods’ (New Palgrave).
