@jcalpickard @ingrid I know that William Thomas' "Rational Action" (MIT Press, 2015) covers OR, and possibly there's also something in Erickson et al "How Reason Almost Lost Its Mind" (Chicago, 2013)?

@joelitobarski @jcalpickard thanks! Rational Action has been recommended a lot, looking forward to checking it out
@ingrid @jcalpickard btw, if you are interested in a broader historiography of cybernetics (which strongly intersects with OR) then this is wonderful: https://collopy.net/writing/2012/cybernetics-bibliography/
@ingrid @jcalpickard You're welcome - hope it's useful! Maybe Hunter Crowther-Heyck's work on Herbert Simon and systems science might also touch on OR
