Charles Tilly, 1929-2008

by Dollars and Sense

Professor Charles Tilly, a renowned social scientist, innovative theorist, and prolific author, passed away on April 29.

In addition to the NY Times obituary, and a statement from the president of Columbia University, here's a very perceptive personal remembrance from a former student and colleague -- just one of many people who remember him fondly.

Dollars & Sense extends our sympathies to his family, including his son Chris, who is a longtime member of the D&S family.
