Is it worthwhile to read biographies of economists? Does the person’s life affect the formulation of his or her theory? How much influence can a person have on the sweep of history? These, of course, are some of the oldest questions scholars grapple with, whether in the guise of the New Criticism in literature, the role of individual contributions to the progress of science, or the balance between volition and determinism in history itself
