This is not a festschrift, but a study of the prodigious Samuelson phe- nomenon, his history-making contributions to and impact on the econom- ics of our age, and the intricate, often perplexing, and divergent trends in modern economics - all intensely controversial subjects that will be argued, scrutinized, and periodically reassessed by economists of various strands and traditions for years to come, for, as Samuelson wrote of Pigou, "immortality does have its price.
