Arthur Lyon Bowley, the founding father of modern statistics, was
an important and colorful figure and a leader in cementing the
foundations of statistical methodology, including survey
methodology, and of the applications of statistics to economical
and social issues during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In
many respects, he was ahead of his time. The giants in this field
around that time were largely concentrated in the British Isles and
Scandinavian countries; among these contributors, Arthur Bowley was
one of the most active in revolutionizing statistical methodology
and its economic applications. However, Bowley has been vastly
undervalued by subsequent commentators ????????????????????????
while hundreds of articles and books have been written on Karl
Pearson, those on Arthur Bowley amount to a dozen or less. This
book seeks to remedy this and fill in an important omission in the
monographical literature on the history of statistics. In
particular, the recent resurgence of interest in poverty research
has led to a renewed interest in Bowley's legacy.
