Interview with Kenneth Arrow


Abstract: Kenneth Arrow's first paper was an influential piece on the use of winds for flight planning, and his first intellectual passion was for mathematical statistics. But after he discovered economics, it didn't take long for him to make his mark. Arrow's doctoral dissertation, and papers that followed, is still some of his best-known work. His influence grew quickly, and by age 51 he had received the Nobel Prize in Economic Science for 'pioneering contributions to general equilibrium theory and welfare theory.'
