ASLIB Book Guide, vol. 62, no. 2, February 1997
«It provides a retrospective and integrated account of his career-long interest in the idea of rationality and its evolution and use in both neo-classical and classical economics ... The fact that the book may be viewed as a success ... is testimony to both Walsh's clarity of vision and to his skill in presenting a relatively detailed and complex web of argument in a style that should prove approachable and engaging to both economists and philosophers ... it is no criticism to suggest that this book will leave many readers wanting more.»
Economic Journal
«This is a book bristling with references in which Walsh traces the history of neo-classical welfare economic theory, presents a variety of criticisms of it, and contrasts it with the classical framework.»
