In recent years, we have witnessed in the history of economics a remark-able increase in the publication of biographies, autobiographies, biograph-ical dictionaries, collections of interviews, and oral histories (surveyed in Forget 2002 and Moggridge 2003). For the history of heterodox econom-ics,1 the trend has been the collection of brief autobiographical testimonies and biographical entries into dictionary volumes (Harcourt 1993; Arestis and Sawyer [1992] 2000; Backhouse and Middleton 2000). This literature comprises simple narratives, exclusively concerned with the professional life of individuals, typically stringing together an author’s contributions to reveal a unifying intellectual mission.
