This is primarily, but not exclusively, a book on Lindblom. All the
pieces in it bear on his work, either as direct commentary on it or
criticism of it, or as extensions of his ideas. But at the same
time every piece follows the trajectory of its own ideas into the
subject matter in which it delves. And these subjects are many and
varied. Indeed, the prime purpose of this volume is to make the
broad public aware of the full scope and amplitude of Lindblom' s
thought and to convey something of the inner coherence that governs
it. Anyone who has previously encountered Lindblom only in one
manifestation of his multifaceted mind might be surprised to learn
that there are so many other facets as well. Merely to list the
disciplines to which he has contributed threatens to extend into an
academic catalogue of ships. But the truth is that his work is not
docilely academic, it refuses to lie down neatly and supinely into
the procrustean beds of the established disciplines. Like his
closest predecessor, Veblen, he offers a comprehensive treatment of
social reality as a whole -- together with something of the same
heretical thrust against the academic establishment.
