Controversies on the concept of progress in Progressive Era American Economics: An introduction
This symposium explores the concept of “progress” and its economic achievements in Progressive Era American economics (1890–1920). This period of deep upheavals in American society was characterized by controversies on the concept of progress among the economics profession. The contributions help understand the extent to which these controversies participated in shaping Progressive Era American economics as well in framing public policies
American Academic Male Economists and Women’s Suffrage: Another Look at Progressive-Era (Il)Liberalism
During the Progressive Era (1890–1920) in the U.S., the debate on women’s enfranchisement involved two opposite sides: detractors (Antis) and supporters. Detractors converged on the idea that women’s enfranchisement might have harmed the natural harmony of society, based on a strict division of roles between sexes. Supporters developed three different arguments: women’s suffrage would have reinforced the democratic system; it would have strengthe…
Martha S. Braun: A Neglected Austrian School Economist and Her Theoretical Contribution to Economics
During the interwar period, Austrian school economists played a fundamental role in establishing marginalism as a central principle of economics. In those years, the role of Mises in Vienna was especially pivotal in building up economics as a science based on the notion of subjective utility within a free institutional framework. As is well known, Mises was surrounded by several colleagues and students who were members of his intellectual circle …

A History of Feminist and Gender Economics
This book offers a historical exploration of the genesis of feminist economics and gender economics, as well as their theoretical and methodological differences. Its narrative also serves to embed both within a broader cultural context. Although both feminist economics and gender neoclassical economics belong to the cultural process related to the central role of the political economy in promoting women's emancipation and empowerment, they differ…
Social Needs, Social Goods, and Human Associations in the Second Edition of Carl Menger's Principles
This article deals with the contents of the second edition of Carl Menger's Principles of Economics (1923), which was neither reprinted in German by Hayek in 1934 nor translated into English by Knight in 1950. My aim is to show that a new Mengerian economic agent can be found in the contents of chapter 1, where Menger dealt with social needs and social goods. I consider this specific contribution of Menger a natural development of his methodologi…
When Italian economics “Was Second to None”. Luigi Einaudi and the Turin School of Economics
The article is dedicated to the work of a group of economists that was an important expression of a fertile season of Italian economics, in the period from the mid-1890s to the end of 1930s, which developed around the figure of Luigi Einaudi, and earlier, around that of his master Cognetti de Martiis. This School expressed a range of thought of high value in the political and economic sphere. In the economic field, the School established a fertil…
