On the Shoulders of Giants: The Post-Italianate Edition

Robert K. Merton
Scott AshworthScott Ashworth

An early candidate for best book I read in 2023: On the Shoulders of Giants, by Robert Merton. Simultaneously a history of a saying, an essay on sociology of knowledge/social epistemology, and a hilarious parody of scholarship. Ream more here: https://t.co/M2YMhYYpdR https://t.co/rMZ3gYB6o6

I recently read about differences in monetary systems between Latin Christendom, the Byzantine Empire, and the Islamicate. That prompted me to go back and reread parts of Sargent and Velda’s Big Problem of Small Change. I’m glad the first year set me up to appreciate that book.
