Reflections on the Essays

Kenneth Arrow

Chapter 35 in Arrow and the Foundations of the Theory of Economic Policy, 1987, pp 727-734 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract That my work has helped to motivate such a considerable number of excellent studies, queries, and even criticisms is a source of considerable satisfaction. A full set of comments would occupy more space than would be appropriate to the occasion. I will confine myself to scattered thoughts stimulated by reading the chapters that deal with impersonal scholarly issues. The reader of the chapters that deal with me more personally should I think be spared the refraction imposed by any comments I might make. I follow the grouping of chapters in the book.
