Knight’s Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit, as well as three general essays that discuss the significance of Knight’s work for John Rawls’ A Theory of Justice, the relationship between Walter Lippermann and the Austrian School of economics, and the economist William Amasa Scott. The symposium essays address the limits of pure theory in economics, particularly comparing Knight and Ludwig von Mises; how Knight’s work has been incorporated by different streams of scholarship on institutional analysis; how James Buchanan’s work on public finance and constitutional political economy may have been influenced by themes in Knight’s work; and what can be learned about Knight’s economic theory from the prefaces to the reprints of Risk, Uncertainty, and Profit. Contributors are researchers from the US, Europe, and Brazil. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution. Annotation ©2022 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
