This book summarizes the life and work of economist Kenneth E. Boulding. Boulding was a prolific writer, teacher and Quaker. Starting his career as an orthodox Keynesian economist, he eventually adopted a transdisciplinary approach to economic topics including peace, conflict and defense, environmental problems, human betterment and evolution.

A tenderly-written biography of economist Kenneth Boulding, which does a good job of conveying the scope of his life's work. Robert Scott's book ranges in scope from examinations of Boulding's enduring and loving relationships with his family members, through to overviews of his major intellectual contributions. For the first time, we see Kenneth Boulding's work as a peace activist and Quaker philosopher sitting beside his economics work.
At present, this is the only whole-of-life biography of Kenneth Boulding in existence, following his 1993 death. The other major biography to rival this is Creative Tension: the Life and Thought of Kenneth Boulding (1974) by Cynthia Kerman. Kerman's book is an expansive 344 pages, compared to Scott's restrained 187 pages. Because it was compiled during Boulding's life, Kerman gives a strong sense of being in the presence of the larger-than-life Boulding, with many observations about his personal style from his colleagues. The downside is that Kerman's biography feels more unfocused than Scott's well-structured book.
Robert Scott's A Voice Crying in the Wilderness charts the evolution of a unique and prolific intellectual, showing Boulding's evolution from economist into trans-disciplinary social scientist.
