"Roy Weintraub retells the history of twentieth-century economics through a series of engagements--duels of intellect and imagination--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."--Mary S. Morgan, London School of Economics and University of Amsterdam
