More Heat than Light: Economics as Social Physics, Physics as Nature's Economics (Historical Perspectives on Modern Economics)
"Intellectual stars of his magnitude (as opposed to scientific stars) don't come along very often....in More Heat Than Light...he states a challenge that is going to haunt economists for years....Mirowski and his ideas are about to move out of the history of economics into the wider stream."   David Warsh, The Boston Globe"...a major contribution to twentieth century literature in economic thought. It is destined to become a classic and must be read and reread."   Southern Economic Journal"...an excellent and enthralling volume, written with great erudition and wit."   Review of Political Economy"No previous writer has made such a sustained and determined effort to explore the undeniably important conceptual links between economics and physics; and this alone is a landmark contribution of importance to all economists, not merely to specialist historians of the discipline."   Kyklos"...an example of the history of economic theory at its best."   Charles M. A. Clark, Eastern Economic Journal
