Despite their common emphasis upon uncertainty as a key economic
variable, Frank Knight and John Maynard Keynes viewed its role from
different ethical perspectives. These attitudes were derived from
contrasting formative influences and differing views regarding the
role of economic theory as applied to the real world.William Greer
reveals that the intellectual atmosphere into which Keynes was born
led him to consider individual and collective action positively,
enabling policymakers to take purposeful, deliberate action, in the
face of an uncertain, non-ergodic future. The conservative,
theological era from which Knight emerged left him accepting of a
predetermined, ergodic world in which the government should assume
a minimal role in ensuring the smooth operation of a system of
otherwise free markets. Ethics and Uncertainty explores how two
economists, who both placed 'uncertainty' at the heart of their
economic theories, come to drastically different and opposing
policy recommendations. The volume illustrates that the important
lesson to learn from both Knight and Keynes is that ethics and the
desire to improve mankind should be the focus of economic enquiry.
This fascinating volume will be essential reading for followers of
Keynes and Knight. The book will also be welcomed by scholars in
the field of economic thought, and those interested in the
development of modern macroeconomics and microeconomics.

A pioneer in the birth control movement both in the United States
and abroad, Dr. Clarence J. Gamble began his work as a volunteer in
Philadelphia in 1929. Because he was convinced that the health and
happiness of women and children and, in fact, entire families
depended on adequate spacing of their babies, he helped to
establish family planning clinics in a dozen American cities before
he was forty years old. Dr. Gamble's major concern was to provide a
safe, reliable, and cheap contraceptive that poor women who had no
access to running water or modern conveniences could use. After
World War II and the population explosion that followed it, Dr.
Gamble expanded his efforts in what he called the Great Cause to
help those in the developing nations who wanted their people to be
able to choose when to have children and how many to have. Every
Child a Wanted Child is more than the biography of a unique man. It
is a record of the ups and downs of the birth control movement in
the United States and in Italy, Japan, India, and parts of Asia and
Africa.
