TIME ON THE CROSS
(co-written with Stanley Engerman)
In 1993, Robert Fogel won, with Douglass North, the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. Enid Fogel is memorialized here and here (with a later photograph of the two of them); there is much more about Robert Fogel here and here and here and here and here and here.
Quotation for the day (from the Los Angeles Times):
"'My main point, of course, was that markets don't guarantee that evil systems will collapse, because sometimes they're very effective, and only political intervention can bring an immoral system to an end,' Fogel told The Times after winning the Nobel. 'That was the lesson: Morality is a higher human goal than just efficiency.'"
