ABSTRACT
When the original edition was first published in 1963, Machlip observed ' I hope that the availibility of this collection will dispel semantic and concpetual; fog and allow greather visibility...'. The work is divided into five sections with a new essay in this edition on 'Are the Social Sciences Really Inferior?' There is also a new introduction by Mark Perlman, University Professor of Economics at the University of Pittsburgh.
