is now available. I write,

he identifies a number of tensions in their thought: the economist as detached observer versus the economist as political participant; progress versus decline; liberty versus restraint; individualism versus culture; modernity versus tradition; and what Jacob T. Levy would call rationalist versus pluralist.

The book, The Viennese Students of Civilization, is published by Cambridge University Press, about which I have several complaints.

1. After several tries, I still have not found it on their web site. Here it is on Amazon.

2. The price is terribly high, particularly for the Kindle version.

3. To add insult to injury, it appears to me that CUP did not spend a dime (or should I say a pence?) on editorial assistance. The book is filled with errors of English usage.

It is an important book, and shame on CUP for making it hard to afford and difficult to read.
