26 Oct, 2014 at 22:48 | Posted in Economics | 3 CommentsThe difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in the escaping from the old ones, which ramify, for those brought up as most of us have been, into every corner of our minds.

Blaug deeply admired Homa Katouzian’s “Ideology and Method”, published at the same time — indeed, I think HK’s is a more profound work. Naturally, it was ignored by the mainstream neo-classicals!
