Frank H. Knight's Eulogy of Abram L. Harris
Abram L. Harris was the second Black person to obtain an economics Ph.D. in the United States and a major figure in the early years of the American Civil Rights movement. Upon his death in 1963 his colleague and friend, Frank Knight delivered memorial remarks. The remembrance explains how Knight and Harris met, how Harris came to Chicago, and how the two scholars shared an intellectual commitment to the idea of race as “caste” and an opposition t…
Philip Kitcher, On John Stuart Mill
In Philip Kitcher’s telling, John Stuart Mill’s thought is nuanced and persuasive. Kitcher offers a superbly well-organized account of Mill as both conflicted but highly progressive. A short biographical sketch emphasizes Mill’s relationship with his friend whom he would later marry, Harriet Taylor. Kitcher next examines four key topics: freedom, democracy, equality, and “when the numbers count.” Unsurprisingly, given the book is published in the…
Towards an Economics of Natural Equals
Gordon Tullock’s ill-fated appendix
Group Analytics in Adam Smith’s Work
M ill, J ohn S tuart (1806–73)
Mill's doctrine that we cannot logically impute differences in the type of human from observed outcomes has so triumphed that modern readers find it difficult to take seriously the nineteenth century argument that the Irish were a race apart. Mill's doctrine that we have moral rights as humans, not as the member of groups, remains the most controversial aspect of his egalitarianism.

The Past as a Public Good
Richard Whately and the Gospel of Transparency
Whately is a difficult thinker, partly because he is competent in so many disciplines. Joseph Schumpeter, who struggled with Whatley's "elusive" greatness, saw a systematic core in Whately: the force behind Nassau Senior's axiomatics. Whately's contemporaries did not talk of axiomatics, but they did point out that his work depended upon an unusually small number of authorities, that is, Aristotle, Bacon, and Smith. In our interpretation, these fo…
Larry Moss and the Struggle Against Racism by the Whately Professors of Political Economy
In this note, we highlight an important consideration of Larry Moss's life's work, the continual struggle within economics against racism. Larry initiated and supported the symposium on eugenics published by the American Journal of Economics and Sociology in July 2005. He edited the volume Social Inequality, Analytical Egalitarianism and the March Toward Eugenic Explanations in the Social Sciences in August 2008. These constitute obvious signs of…

Thinking About Analytical Egalitarianism
Mill, John Stuart (1806–1873)
In the nineteenth century, social scientists such as John Stuart Mill struggled with the problem of the individual in society: how to achieve the “improvement of mankind” (Robson 1968) when society consists of free and responsible individuals. As he speculated about how behavior is conditioned by culture, habit, and institutions, and new habits form in the context of institutional change, Mill stepped into the burgeoning field of “speculative pol…

From Cardinal to Ordinal Utility Theory
This paper examines the transition from cardinal to ordinal utility. We begin with the egalitarian utilitarianism of J. S. Mill and Herbert Spencer, in which everyone was supposed to count as one. That is their phrase to explain how the happiness of existing people was to be maximized. We compare Spencer's goal with Darwin's goal of the "general good," in which the number of perfect people was to be maximized. Spencer's goal was egalitarian, whil…
Sympathy and Approbation in Hume and Smith
David Hume's sympathetic principle applies to physical equals. In his account, we sympathize with those like us. By contrast, Adam Smith's sympathetic principle induces equality. We consider Hume's “other rational species” problem to see whether Smith's wider sympathetic principle would alter Hume's conclusion that “superior” beings will enslave “inferior” beings. We show that Smith introduces the notion of “generosity,” which functions as if it …

Special Invited Symposium on the Foundations of Neoclassical Economics Jevons and Menger Re‐homogenized
A bstract . Following Jaffé's 1976 argument, the effort to de‐homogenize Jevons, Walras, and Menger may have obscured some key similarities between Jevons and Menger. The article argues that Jevons's view of human behavior is more complex than has been allowed, and has much in common with Menger's predisposition for process, uncertainty, mistakes, and the significance of time in decision making. Some of the key features of the Mengerian economic …

Jevons's Applications of Utilitarian Theory to Economic Policy
The precise nature of W. S. Jevons's utilitarianism as a guiding rule for economic policy has yet to be investigated, and that will be the first issue treated in this paper. While J. A. Schumpeter, for instance, asserted that ‘some of the most prominent exponents of marginal utility’ (including Jevons), were ‘convinced utilitarians’, he did not investigate the further implications for Jevons's policy analysis
The Population Mechanism in W. S. Jevons's Applied Economics
This paper concerns the status of the population principle in W. S. Jevons's analysis of growth. The author's contention is that the "classical" features of Jevons's analysis are indisputable. She shows that Jevons's adhered to a classical mechanism whereby the growth of labor supply responds to rising real incomes. Secondly, she demonstrates his concern with the Malthusian contrast between geometric population growth rates and limitations to out…
