Mary Susanna Morgan FBA FRDAAS, is an economist, philosopher, historian, and the Albert O. Hirschman Professor of the History and Philosophy of Economics in the London School of Economics.

Biography
Morgan graduated from the London School of Economics a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Economics in 1978 and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in 1984.[1][2] From 1992 to 2002, she worked part-time as Professor of the History and Methodology of Economics in the University of Amsterdam.[1][2] Since 2002, she has been an overseas member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[3]
Her most informative period occurred during her PhD, when she was working on the history of econometrics. At the time, she was part of a research group at the ZiF in Bielefeld on 'The Probabilistic Revolution' — a historical and philosophical project in part led by Ian Hacking. That was a time when philosophers of economics were mainly inside economics departments, not in the philosophy of science community.[4]
