Drandakis Rochester, N.Y. 10/20/59."

The Nobel Prize-winning economist's first book was his doctoral dissertation at Columbia.

But Arrows theorem has withstood all technical criticisms and has never been decisively challenged on its own grounds" (Great Economists Since Keynes, 6). Named by The Times Literary Supplement as one of the 100 most influential books since World War II.
