The published version of Champernowne’s King’s College fellowship dissertation, originally written nearly four decades earlier in 1935-1936, which ‘laid the foundations for the application of stochastic process models to the analysis of income distributions; this work has been of importance in recent economic research on fat-tailed distributions and scaling laws’ (New Palgrave).
