LIVES OF THE LAUREATES: EIGHTEEN NOBEL ECONOMISTSBreit and Hirsch’s

Warren Samuels

A chapter in A Research Annual, 2005, pp 245-253 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: William Breit’s brilliant idea was to commission a Nobel Economists Lecture Series at Trinity University that induced recipients to write autobiographical essays on their individual evolution as an economist. This fourth edition presents eighteen such essays. Breit had two intellectual purposes in mind. One objective was to identify common themes in the laureates’ description of their development as economists. The second objective was to use the materials provided in the essays to examine the question of the role of biography in the development of modern economics as a contribution to a theory of scientific discovery.
