Extract

Quantitative essays in economic history do not need dazzling equations and arcane terminology to make a contribution. Often the greatest service to the profession is performed by the careful scholar who collects, works up, and presents useful economic data in a simple and straightforward way. Simplicity can be deceptive, however, and often the most painstaking scholar will fail to see important implications in the data he uses and manipulates.
