Sam's thinking has also evolved in deep ways over time. His incredible interest in all domains of social science and his complete comfort in adapting his thinking are another type of courage.

Sam's dedication to understanding inequality and his particular modes of analysis were deeply controversial in the early parts of his career. This courage in challenging conventional paradigms regardless of professional cost are well known.

In my opinion, there is no economist who has contributed more to understanding inequality in the last 60 years than Sam Bowles.

Honored to introduce Samuel Bowles Public Lecture The Origin and Future of Inequality, part of 3 days organized by @ucstonecenter.bsky.social. Sam has been an inspiration, both intellectually and morally to me, as well as to so many in the profession. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV-9...
