'Mary Morgan has written a fascinating and readable account of the development of econometrics, free of technicality and offering a whole agenda of questions for other scholars.

The Times Higher Education Supplement
'Dr Morgan is to be congratulated for presenting us with a memorable and tasty dinner of econometric ideas.' Arnold Zellner, Journal of Political Economy
'Morgan is a creative pioneer, and a skilled historian who has pieced together a delightful story.' David Greasley, Economic History Review
'This book is a gem in its individual chapters, but the whole is much more than the sum of those parts. The writing is level clear and restrained; the suggestions are insightful and warranted.' Neil de Marchi, Duke University
