Guide

This is primarily, but not exclusively, a book on Lindblom. All the pieces in it bear on his work, either as direct commentary on it or criticism of it, or as extensions of his ideas. But at the same time every piece follows the trajectory of its own ideas into the subject matter in which it delves. And these subjects are many and varied.

Indeed, the prime purpose of this volume is to make the broad public aware of the full scope and amplitude of Lindblom's thought and to convey something of the inner coherence that governs it. Anyone who has previously encountered Lindblom only in one manifestation of his multifaceted mind might be surprised to learn that there are so many other facets as well. Merely to list the disciplines to which he has contributed threatens to extend into an academic catalogue of ships. But the truth is that his work is not docilely academic, it refuses to lie down neatly and supinely into the procrustean beds of the established disciplines. Like his closest predecessor, Veblen, he offers a comprehensive treatment of social reality as a whole -- together with something of the same heretical thrust against the academic establishment.

The very list of names of contributors to this volume alone is a vindication of his range and a tribute to his influence. Geographically they hail from three continents; professionally, from politics and administration as well as academia; and intellectually, from just about every current point of view. The relatively weighty input from the continent of Australia will surprise only those who know Lindblom only in his American habitat and should serve to open their eyes to his world standing. We in the antipodes take some pride in the fact that the first conference devoted solely to his work, from which this volume took its inception, was held in Melbourne in 1989. But that was more a matter of circumstance and chance than the reflection of any preestablished harmony between Lindblom and Australia -- a similar conference might have been held just as successfully almost anywhere else in the world.

In his "Concluding Comment" Lindblom is characteristically modest about his contribution to knowledge and the ultimate value of his work. It is not for us here to take issue with him on this score. But each one of us who has worked with him, some of us for up to half a century, knows from personal experience what he has meant as colleague, teacher or friend.
