Blaug: Edging Toward Full Appreciation

摘要

Thus begins the intellectual autobiography of noted economic historian Mark Blaug. Over the years, Blaug has retained what he calls a "soft spot" for George. In the November 1980 issue of Economica, he reviewed the first edition of Critics of Henry George, not unfavorably. In 1992, he edited a collection of 26 articles on Henry George. In May 1996 he reviewed―rather less favorably―the three Georgist Paradigm books published by Shepheard-Walwyn. In June 1999, he gave an invited lecture on Henry George at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia, part of a series funded by the F. J. Walsh bequest. He published this lecture in 2000 as "Henry George: Rebel with a Cause." On June 29, 2002, I interviewed Blaug at his home in the Dutch university town of Leiden.
