J. L. Ford

Chapter 3 in Unknowledge and Choice in Economics, 1990, pp 20-45 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract George Shackle is one of the most original thinkers in the history of economics. His seminal contributions have been many, and they have almost all been concerned with the very fundamentals of the discipline of economics, namely the study and analysis of behaviour under uncertainty. The contributions that he has made in that field have embraced both macroeconomic theory and microeconomic theory.
