Rummaging in the Attic: A Chapter of Accidents

John K. Whitaker

Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 1998, vol. 20, issue 3, 311-327

Abstract: The invitation to reflect for a wide audience upon my professional life and work is simultaneously flattering, daunting and dismaying: daunting because the shield of privacy normally surrounding personal and family matters can hardly avoid being breached; dismaying because the called-for reimmersion in one's past so strongly evokes unfulfilled hopes and ambitions. Not, I should add, that I have any cause for complaints. My life has been fortunate and fulfilling, yet with the clarity of hindsight, roads not taken become visible more clearly than they were when choices were made.
