In Reflections of a Pragmatic Economist, Emery Castle traces an
intellectual journey that spans more than half a century and has
helped shape the fields of agricultural, resource, and rural
economics. Castle's memoir is grounded in the integration of his
personal and professional experiences. He describes his roots as
the son of Kansas tenant farmers, his service during World War II,
his education, and his academic career, exploring the ways in which
these experiences influenced his teaching, research, and
administrative responsibilities. An influential figure in the
development of resource and environmental economics, Castle is also
the pioneer of a rural economics based in the interdependence of
the rural and urban. His memoir reflects the history of ideas in
economics and agricultural economics. Drawing on more than ten
years of leadership at Resources for the Future, a highly
influential think tank on resource and environmental policy
research, Castle gives special attention to contrasting elite and
land-grant institutions. Reflections of a Pragmatic Economist will
be of particular interest to agricultural, resource, and rural
economists, as well as to administrators at institutions of higher
education, especially land-grant institutions, and to students and
teachers of higher education administration.
