It is a rare individual who is able to draw from many disparate traditions in economic thought and combine these into a coherent research program. Brian J.

Professor Loasby, longtime professor of economics at the University of Stirling, United Kingdom, is one such individual. This first of two volumes of essays written in his honor demonstrates the diversity of thought inspired by his work.
