Description

Originally published by Duke University Press in 1966, this volume inquires into the problem of science as a social system. The continuing process of improving our knowledge which we call "science" appears to be both highly individualistic and highly coordinated. This book explains how this process works. It describes the roles of education, scientific publication, Nobel prizes, and research grants in this process. Co-published with the Center for Study of Public Choice, George Mason University.
