Biography

Lawrence H. Officer

'As one who has been stimulated by Officer's work and who has relied on some of it in my own, I welcome this collection of articles from a researcher who richly deserves the accolade, "a scholar's scholar.' - Reviewed for EH.NET by Richard Sylla, Department of Economics, Stern School of Business, New York University

'Those new to Officer's scholarship will find the contents of this edition broad-based, substantive, and thought-provoking. Those already familiar with his research will find the reintroduction to his thinking in such a systematic way a refreshing revisit of a lifetime's worth of intellectual effort. Both groups will find this a rewarding book.' Mark E. Duckenfield, Economic History Review
