Description & Specifications

When he died in 1930 at the age of 26, Frank Ramsey had already invented a branch of mathematics and two branches of economics, laying the foundations for decision theory and game theory. Keynes admired him, and he was the only philosopher Wittgenstein considered his equal. Had he lived, he might have been recognized as the most brilliant thinker of the century. This pleasant and awkward bear was a fervent socialist, a believer in free love, and a close friend of the Bloomsbury Group. For the first time, Cheryl Misak tells the full story of his extraordinary life.
