Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Economic Theory of Risk and Insurance
A word of explanation may be in order with regard to my failure to give credit to others in all cases for ideas which have been published before. This has sometimes been due to the fact that the ideas were so much common property that it was impossible to assign them to any particular writer. In other instances the omission is to be explained on the ground that in the course of a considerable amount of reading on the sub j ect of insurance, the significance of many statements was over looked at the time when they were read. After their import ance had come to be appreciated, it was not always possible to trace them to their sources.
