    Book Description

    Unlike the papers of some other great economists, those of Kenneth Arrow are being read and studied today with even greater care and attention than when they first appeared in the journals. The publication of his collected papers will therefore be welcomed by economists and other social scientists and in particular by graduate students, who can draw from them the deep knowledge and the discernment in selection of scientific problems that only a master can offer. The author has added headnotes to certain well-known papers, describing how he came to write them.

    This volume begins with Arrow's papers on statistical decision theory, which served as a foundation for his work on the economics of information. As he writes in his preface, "Statistical method was an example for the acquisition of information. In a world of uncertainty, it was no great leap to realize that information is valuable in an economic sense." The later, applied papers, which operationalize the theory of the early ones, include essays on the demand for information, the economic value of screening devices, and the effect of incomplete information on the structure of organizations, futures markets, and insurance.

      Book Description

      "Waller's biography captures the energy, creativity, sense of humor and commitment of this original legal scholar and the nation's greatest anti-trust lawyer, who had the guts to battle the McCarthy scourge of the 1950s. Every law student should read this book about a genuine legal hero. It will give them a sense of lawyering as a noble profession."
      —Joseph A. Califano, Jr., The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University

      Soebce Wakker has written a useful biography of Thurman Arnold, collecting in one place the available materials and adding the results of his own research.”
      —The American Journal of Legal History

      "Antitrust is a dry subject, but fortunately Waller knows it, and so did Arnold. Both have the flair to make it come alive."
      —Chicago Tribune

      "The tale is nicely told and brings out the complications of being an aggressive antitrust enforcer in a political administration deeply ambivalent about competition policy."
      —Antitrust Review

      "Waller has succeeded in capturing the essence of a lawyer, often described as a blend of Voltaire and a cowboy, who made such important contributions to twentieth century jurisprudence."
      —The Law and Politics Book Review

      "Everyone who knows of Thurman Arnold understands he was larger than life. But I would not have imagined that anyone could bring him to life. That is what Spencer Waller has done in this absorbing biography."
      —Laura Kalman, Professor of History, University of California, Santa Barbara, and author of Abe Fortas: A Biography

      Thurman Arnold (1891-1969) was a major iconoclast of American law and a great liberal of the 20th century. In this first biography of Arnold, Spencer Weber Waller traces Arnold's life from his birth in Laramie, Wyoming, and explores how his western upbringing influenced his distinctive views about law and power. After studying at Princeton and Harvard Law School, Arnold practiced law in Chicago, served in World War I, and eventually returned to Laramie, where he was a prominent practitioner, mayor, and state legislator in the 1920s.

      As the rise of national corporations began to destroy the local businesses that were the core of his legal practice, Arnold turned from the courtroom to the academy, most notably at Yale Law School, where he became one of the leading spokesmen for the legal realism movement. Arnold's work attracted the attention of Franklin Roosevelt, who appointed him to head the Antitrust Division during the New Deal. He went on to establish Arnold, Fortas & Porter, which became the epitome of the modern Washington, DC law firm, and defended pro-bono hundreds of clients accused of Communist sympathies during the McCarthy era.

      One of the few individuals who shaped 20th century American law in so many of its facets, Arnold's biography is long overdue, and Waller honors his life and legacy with a book that is both vividly narrated and extensively researched.

      5 out of 5 stars well-written and informative.......2007-03-06

      I read this biography shortly after I'd completed "Titan" about John D. Rockefeller. It was interesting to see how two men on different sides of the antitrust issue grew up and what influenced them. This book is well-written and very accessible. I highly recommend it as a good introduction to law students and anybody else who is interested in antitrust law.

      5 out of 5 stars The First Complete Biography of Thurman Arnold.......2006-03-18

      Thurman Arnold (1891-1969) is a rather interesting figure we don't hear much about today; those of us in Washington, however, are constantly reminded of him due to the "Thurman Arnold Building" which houses the law firm of Arnold & Porter. Until now, those interested in Arnold were limited to his autobiography ("Fair Fights and Foul") and a collection of his letters ("Voltaire and the Cowboy"). That limitation has now been corrected with the publication of this informative biography.

      The book covers all stages of Arnold's life, accomplishments, and personal involvements. That is, it traces his early years in Wyoming, his education at Princeton and Harvard Law, initial practice in Chicago, his return to Wyoming and his transition thereafter to Dean of the University of West Virginia College of Law. The book hits is stride when it follows Arnold to Yale Law School and his period interacting with the legal realists. It also does a solid job of discussing Arnold's two master works: "The Symbols of Government" and "The Folklore of Capitalism"--both important books not often mentioned today.

      Arnold's service in the New Deal also is discussed, particularly his 5-year tenure as Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust. The author, who apparently teaches antitrust, has presented a very professional analysis of Arnold's career and contributions to the development of antitrust law in that position as a "trustbuster." Eventually, Arnold moves on to a short stint at the D.C. Circuit. The highpoint of book is when Arnold joins Paul Porter and Abe Fortas to build Arnold, Fortas and Porter. The early government security program cases are discussed, as is the evolution and growth of the firm. Surprisingly, there is not that much about Abe Fortas in the book, since Arnold is the author's central concern. The poignant, but unsuccessful, effort of Arnold to facilitate the re-entry of Fortas into the firm after his Supreme Court resignation is well handled, as are Arnold's final years.

      The author has done extensive research; his 34 pages of notes are highly valuable for those interested in more research on Arnold. Also included are three appendices dealing with Arnold's D.C. Circuit decisions; his principal writings; and a selected bibliography. At about 200 pages (not counting notes), the book is a lean but yet comprehensive biography of Arnold that can be read relatively quickly and always with pleasure.

                                        The Euro-Mediterranean Partnership Initiative, launched by the Barcelona Conference in 1995, is the most ambitious project to date directed at comprehensive prosperity and security in the Mediterranean region. Yet the assumptions on which it is based are untried and untested. This study seeks to analyse what they are and to draw some conclusions as to the potential of the Initiative for success by comparing it with other experiences of regional develoment.

                                          Nowadays, energy is a severe problem for mankind. Not only because of the population explosion, but also because human beings are calling for less poverty and better life. "Fossil energies are limited and pose severe problems. New forms of energy can be expected from solar energy and from non-proliferating nuclear energy in various forms (Thorium cycle fission, nuclear fusion). Developed countries are urged to largely invest in the development of these new forms of energy, as this is their duty for whole mankind," states Nobel Prize winner Carlo Rubbia. In this publication several very important partnerships on a Euro-Mediterranean level are discussed. It is believed, however, that an intergovernmental approach, is not sufficient by itself and that a genuine build-up of a Euro-Mediterranean community will only be possible through the deep involvement of actors in the civil society. This means the intervention of individuals and organizations entering deals in all ways of life (Trade, Tourism, Industry), but also particularly between members of scientific communities pursuing common goals.

                                            This study examines the extent to which the development and operation of social partnership at EU level can be explained in terms of the logic of self-interest, as opposed to factors such as the influence of ideas or of cultural or ideological values. International contributors present fresh and original data based on extensive research interviews with the main players, from the highest level through to those involved in the detail of the negotiations.
