Samuel Stebbins Bowles (/boʊlz/; born June 1, 1939),[1] is an American economist and Professor Emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he continues to teach courses on microeconomics and the theory of institutions.[2] His work belongs to the neo-Marxian[3][4][5] (variably called post-Marxian)[6][7][8] tradition of economic thought. However, his perspective on economics is eclectic and draws on various schools of thought, including what he and others refer to as post-Walrasian economics.[9]
