Savage on Schlaifer

(preface to Dover edition)...the (personalistic) movement itself has other sources apart from those from which this book itself was drawn ...one with great impact on practical statistics and scientific management is a book by Robert Schlaifer...his ideas were developed wholly independently of the present book, and indeed of other personalistic literature...they are in full harmony with the ideas in this book but are more down to earth and less spellbound by tradtions...
