Lawrence Goldman was educated at Cambridge and at Yale where he was
a Harkness Fellow. After a junior research fellowship at Trinity
College, Cambridge, he spent 29 years as a university lecturer in
Oxford and as a tutorial fellow of St. Peter's College, moving to
the Directorship of the Institute of Historical Research in the
University of London in 2014. From its publication in 2004 until
2014, he was the Editor of the Oxford Dictionary of National
Biography. Throughout his career he has taught both modern British
and American History and published widely on the political and
social history of both countries, including studies of the history
of workers'
education, Victorian social science, and the biography of the
political thinker and historian, R. H. Tawney.
This collection does careful justice to the powerful influence of
Harris's work; the ideas and provocations explored in this volume
are timely, persuasive, and valuable.

This book as a whole exemplifies the great dividends to be reaped
from following Harris's example in taking seriously the effects of
ideas and epistemological frameworks in shaping welfare and
economic policy and makes an excellent tributeto her important and
wide-ranging work.
