英语翻译The work of a gifted economist,who challenged convention

英语翻译
The work of a gifted economist,who challenged conventional orthodoxies at more than one point,it was primarily,in spite of its title,less a history of capitalism than a penetrating examination of tendencies revealed by recent changes in industrial organization in Great Britain and the United States.
ps：能不能帮我把主干找出来额

主干：The work was less a history than a examination.著作与其说是一段历史,不如说是一个检验.
全句翻译：一个有才华并曾在多个领域里挑战传统观念的经济学家,他的著作无论标题是什么,从根本上来讲,与其说是一段资本主义的历史,倒不如说是由英美两国的工业组织近来的变化所显示出来的潮流的一个尖锐的检验.
以上完全是自己思考的成果,望楼主采纳,
