Books
- Scope and content:
-
Incomplete drafts, correspondence, and reviews of several of Georgescu-Roegen's books, including Agrarian Economics, Entropy Law and Economic Process, and Bioeconomics. The bulk of the subseries documents his work with a translation of The Development of the Laws of Human Intercourse and the Consequent Rules of Human Action (1954) by Hermann Heinrich Gossen, which was accomplished by Rudolf Blitz. Georgescu-Roegen believed Gossen to have been an unjustly unrecognized inventor of the general theory of marginal utility. His 130-page introduction to the translation consumed over a decade of work, all of which is present.
