The Century’s Giant: An Obituary of Economist Kenneth Arrow

Gavin Wright

Challenge, 2017, vol. 60, issue 3, 287-293

Abstract: Kenneth Arrow was arguably the leading figure of mainstream economics in the post-World War II era. His contributions to microeconomic theory were monumental. But his precision of thinking always shone through, and he carefully delineated the many limitations of free market solutions. The social, real-world aspects of his work were highly influential. The author, an eminent economic historian, was a colleague of his at Stanford University.
