Adolphe Quetelet, the average man and the development of economic methodology

Adolphe Quetelet, the average man and the development of economic methodology

tandfonline.com

Quetelet's contribution to statistics has received adequate attention in Stigler (1986, 1999) and Porter's (1986) seminal works on the history of that scientific discipline. 24 Our contribution investigates Quetelet's influence on economic methodology. Other scholars have already investigated his influence on econometrics and empirical economics (Morgan 1990, Stigler 1999), but we argue that his influence on theoretical economics should be considered significant as well. We devote attention to Quetelet's concept of the ‘average man’. For this purpose we briefly summarize Quetele...

Igor Stravinsky: On Assessing the Greatness of a Composer

Igor Stravinsky: On Assessing the Greatness of a Composer

simplycharly.com

At the time of [Igor] Stravinsky’s death on April 6, 1971, at the age of 88, the speculation among critics centered quite naturally on his legacy. Would his music survive into the next century and perhaps well beyond that? Looking back, what had been the substance and scale of his influence? Had he been, perhaps, in Western art music, the last of the “great composers”?Stravinsky was certainly the most celebrated composer of the 20th century and possibly the greatest as well, if by “greatest” we mean “deepest,” as in the depth of the feelings or emotions stirred by his music. Fame arr...

Few generals throughout history can say that they were undefeated over their career, fewer still can be credited with doing so with a mob of peasants and militia forces fighting against professionally organized crusades while being partially and later completely blind. Jan Žižka, born in 1360 had a great deal of experience as a mercenary, and was from a small town in Bohemia, but also was a Chamberlin to the Queen.At the massive battle of Grunwald/Tannenberg, Žižka fought as a Czech mercenary on the victorious Polish/Lithuanian side, though before the battle he supposedly offered his...

The Dinosaur Discoverer

Jack Horner likes to break things. Precious things—like dinosaur bones, or the occasional 80-million-year-old egg.A lot of people think of a dinosaur bone “as a treasure, just the way it is,” he says, leaning forward and staring intently, “even though it’s obvious that there’s more informa...

History

Who Was Cleopatra?

The struggle with her teenage brother over the throne of Egypt was not going as well as Cleopatra VII had hoped. In 49 B.C., Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII—also her husband and, by the terms of their father's will, her co-ruler—had driven his sister from the palace at Alexandria after Cleopatra attempted t...
