How Economics Became a Mathematical Science (Science and Cultural Theory)
&ldquo;Roy Weintraub retells the history of twentieth-century economics through a series of engagements&mdash;duels of intellect and imagination&mdash;between individual members of two scientific communities: the mathematicians and the economists.  A totally original, idiosyncratic,  and highly personal account which illuminates brilliantly not just how economics became mathematized, but how mathematics cut free from the objects of science.&rdquo;&mdash;Mary S. Morgan, London School of Economics and University of Amsterdam
