The life and times of one of the most provocative thinkers of the
twentieth century Worldly Philosopher chronicles the times and
writings of Albert O. Hirschman, one of the twentieth century's most
original and provocative thinkers. In this gripping biography, Jeremy
Adelman tells the story of a man shaped by modern horrors and hopes, a
worldly intellectual who fought for and wrote in defense of the values
of tolerance and change. This is the first major account of
Hirschman’s remarkable life, and a tale of the twentieth century as
seen through the story of an astute and passionate observer.
Adelman’s riveting narrative traces how Hirschman’s personal
experiences shaped his unique intellectual perspective, and how his
enduring legacy is one of hope, open-mindedness, and practical
idealism.
