Paul Samuelson's Historiography: More Wag Than Whig
评论了梅德玛和沃特曼编选的萨缪尔森经济学史文集，指出萨缪尔森自称撰写“辉格史”的说法不成立，其现代经济学著作实则带有深刻的个人自传色彩。
In this review essay of Steven G. Medema and Anthony M. C. Waterman's collection of some of Paul Samuelson's writings in the history of economics, the author argues that Samuelson's claim to have written “Whig history” is spurious. Moreover, the author argues that Samuelson's own writings on modern economics are, whether explicit or not, profoundly autobiographical. Samuelson, in constructing a literature ostensibly about contemporary economics, was simultaneously constructing a literature in which he and contemporary economics could be jointly considered and appraised.
