  • Reflections on the State of the History of Economics

    Open AccessMargaret SchabasARTICLEJournal of the History of…2024

    The celebration of fifty years of the History of Economics Society (HES) is a wonderful achievement. It is a pity that the majority of the founding members are not alive to see this landmark. The initial seeds were planted in 1968, with a gathering run by Donald Winch at the University of Sussex, and watered the following year by A. W. “Bob” Coats at the University of Nottingham, who produced the first British History of Economic Thought newslett…

  • David Hume as a Proto-Weberian

    Open AccessMargaret SchabasARTICLESocial Philosophy and Policy2020

    David Hume wrote prolifically and influentially on economics and was an enthusiast for the modern commercial era of manufacturing and global trade. As a vocal critic of the Church, and possibly a nonbeliever, Hume positioned commerce at the vanguard of secularism. I here argue that Hume broached ideas that gesture toward those offered by Max Weber in his famous Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (1904-5). Hume discerned a strong correl…

  • A Philosopher's Economist

    Margaret Schabas, Carl WennerlindBOOKA Philosopher's Economist2019

    Reconsiders the centrality and legacy of Hume’s economic thought and serves as an important springboard for reflections on the philosophical underpinnings of economics. Although David Hume’s contributions to philosophy are firmly established, his economics has been largely overlooked. A Philosopher’s Economist offers the definitive account of Hume’s “worldly philosophy” and argues that economics was a central preoccupation of his life and work. M…

    Margaret SchabasARTICLEThe American Historical Review2017

    For almost forty years, Keith Tribe has written penetrating and postmodernist accounts of the history of economic discourse. Economics has for the most part been confined to print rather than being used, as are some physical sciences, for building instruments or discovering novel laboratory phenomena. There is nothing as radical in the history of economics to compare to the discovery of the photoelectric effect or the double helix for DNA. In fac…

  • Retrospectives

    Open AccessMargaret Schabas, Carl WennerlindARTICLEThe Journal of Economic…2011Citada por: 1Referencias: 18

    David Hume (1711-1776) is arguably the most esteemed philosopher to have written in the English language. During his lifetime, however, Hume was as well if not better known for his contributions to political economy, particularly for the essays published as the Political Discourses (1752). Hume left his mark on the economic thought of the physiocrats, the classical economists, and the American Federalists. Adam Smith, who met Hume circa 1750, was…

  • Constructing “The Economy”

    Open AccessMargaret SchabasARTICLEPhilosophy of the Social Sciences2009Citada por: 1Referencias: 11

    Economists study “The Economy,” or so one might suppose. Yet this overarching entity is strikingly absent from mainstream theory. Since the 1950s, it has generally been described with a few mathematical propositions and not given a description that attends to institutions, power relations, or the emergent properties that form the leading indicators in macroeconomic theory. There is thus a significant divergence between folk economics and scientif…

  • Genres of the Credit Economy

    Margaret SchabasARTICLEThe English Historical Review2009Citada por: 3

    Try convincing a mainstream economist that economic theory has something in common with literary theory and you are likely to be met with complete incredulity. Yet this is precisely what Mary Poovey, a distinguished professor of English literature at New York University, sets out to do in this impressive monograph, one that canvasses hundreds of texts, sweeping over two centuries of literary history and the history of economics. Her erudition is …

  • David Hume's Political Economy

    Margaret Schabas, Carl WennerlindBOOKDavid Hume's Political Economy2007

    Hume‘s Political Discourses (1752) won immediate acclaim and positioned him as an authoritative figure on the subject of political economy. This volume of thirteen new essays definitively establishes the central place of political economy in Hume‘s intellectual endeavor, as well as the profound and far-reaching influence of his theories on Enlighte

  • Where Economics and Philosophy Meet

    Open AccessPeter J Boettke, Christopher J Coyne et al.ARTICLEThe Economic Journal2006Referencias: 7

    Although Adam Smith’s 1776 Wealth of Nations is often cited as marking the birth of economics, it was really not until after the second world war that economics became the distinctive, more or less unified, and largely separate discipline summarised in the textbooks of today. Even a mere fifty years ago, it was possible for the intelligent reader to move with relative ease between economics on the one hand and political economy, sociology and soc…

  • The Natural Origins of Economics

    Margaret SchabasBOOKThe Natural Origins of Economics2005

    "In The Natural Origins of Economics, Margaret Schabas traces the emergence and transformation of economics in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries from a natural to a social science. Focusing on the works of several prominent economists - David Hume, Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill - Schabas examines their conceptual debt to natural science and thus locates the evolution of economic ideas within the history of …
