Margaret Ramsey's memoir of her prodigious brother shows Frank Ramsey as clearly as if it were yesterday in the surroundings of his family, fellow scholars and friends. The life of an exceptional man is played out before our eyes against a background of a time that is now 'another country' but strangely linked in its manners and concerns to our own. A brilliant mathematician and a philosopher who belonged to the Cambridge of Moore, Russell and Wittgenstein (whose Tractatus he translated while a student) he was the innovator of a new subject of economic philosophy challenging Keynes on probability and contributing to taxation theory. Frank Ramsey (1903-1930) is not only the extraordinary inside story of a young genius. Margaret Paul brings to life an age - the twenties, a decade of interwar angst, both Freudian and political and with it a roll call of exceptionally gifted men and women. The preoccupations of that time call out subtly to the world of today.

About the Author
Margaret Ramsey was 12 years old when her brother Frank died. Their younger brother Michael was to become Arch Bishop of Canterbury In an interview for the Financial Times in 1992 Margaret explained how the memory of her brother Frank had greatly influenced and shaped her life. It was probably because of him that rather than reading English at Cambridge she at the last moment changed her mind and opted for philosophy and later economics. After marrying a fellow academic Margaret Paul was fully engaged as a Fellow and Tutor in Economics at St Margaret Hall Oxford until her retirement in 1983 when Frank Ramsey was research and written . She died in 2003.

Interesting but ultimately disappointing
By James Klagge
Ramsey was a brilliant Cambridge man who made significant contributions to logic, philosophy and economics by the time he died at age 26. He was respected by the greatest minds of his time, including Keynes and Wittgenstein. My interest in him is because of his connection to Wittgenstein. He translated Wittgenstein's book, the Tractatus, for its English publication at age 19; he wrote a detailed review of the book; he sought out Wittgenstein in rural Austria where he was teaching school for discussions, and he worked with Wittgenstein in 1929 when Wittgenstein returned to Cambridge and philosophy. This was a well-written and researched, but disappointing, book. Disappointing to me because there is nothing in the book about their relationship in 1929. It is as if a chapter is missing. Not only is there no new material about this period, but there is not even an account of it. Another disappointment is not due to the book but due to the life. Ramsey and his wife Lettice had an open marriage, which I did not know, and the author gives a detailed account of this. It caused a great deal of conflict and pain in the marriage, and was rather sickening to read about. I suppose it is a credit to the author (Ramsey's sister) that she was honest about this despite its poor reflection on her brother.
For a person who produced an impressive amount of work in his short life, he had a remarkably prescient (and Kantian) view of publication. In a letter to his mother in 1924 (p. 182) he wrote: "No one can suppose that you can't research for six months without having a paper ready by the end; if everyone wrote a paper every six months, the amount of trivial literature would swell beyond all bounds. Given time I shall produce a good paper, but if I hurry it will be ill-written, unintelligible and unconvincing." But before we take any comfort in this defense of reasonable productivity, we should also realize that Ramsey's fellowship at King's College, Cambridge, required 16 hours of teaching a week, even through most of the summer (p, 217).
