The introduction of this edited volume on Vilfredo Pareto opens with the following sentence: “This volume explores Pareto’s astonishingly varied intellectual contribution from a range of disciplinary perspectives, the main intention being to show why it remains relevant and should not simply be consigned to the history of ideas” (p. 1). I believe the book did fulfill its goal of showing the intellectual breadth of Pareto and his relevance today.
