A Pigou Biography

Posted: 12 Jun 2021 02:49 PM PDT

Ian Kumekawa's biography of A.C. Pigou has been sitting on my shelf since it was published a few years ago, but I just got around to reading it, and I very much enjoyed it. The book tells the story of the arc of Pigou's career--from a top student of Alfred Marshall, to a leader of his field, to a fading star struggling with age and declining relevance, to finally a content elder statesmen of academia. The general public won't find the book of much interest, but for economists like me, it is a great read.
