Abstract: Abstract Most dissident economists operate either in splendid isolation or as accepted members (the more prominent of them as leaders) of an opposition school of thought. The subject of this chapter is unusual in being rejected both by mainstream academic economists and by their principal intellectual rivals, with whom he had much in common. Paul Baran was a Marxist, but his Marxism was of an idiosyncratic variety which rendered him something of an outcast among outcasts. His is the only case among those considered here of a writer who could claim to be a heretic in this double sense.
