Reviews

This collection does careful justice to the powerful influence of Harris's work; the ideas and provocations explored in this volume are timely, persuasive, and valuable. * Anne Rodrick, Wofford College, H-Albion * This book as a whole exemplifies the great dividends to be reaped from following Harris's example in taking seriously the effects of ideas and epistemological frameworks in shaping welfare and economic policy and makes an excellent tributeto her important and wide-ranging work. * Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite, Journal of British Studies *
