Local Entanglements in the History of Mathematical Economics
This essay introduces a special issue of History of Political Economy titled "Local Entanglements in the History of Mathematical Economics." The articles in the special issue share a particular historiographical approach, characterized by the name of "local entanglements." The introduction defines the approach and explains why it can contribute in an original way to the history of economics
Hotelling and Wilson on Statistical Inference: Local Attitudes and Universal Dreams
During the early 1920s, a scattered group of American scholars, among whom were Harold Hotelling and E. B. Wilson, started a joint effort to develop statistical instruments in economics. They became interested in disparate topics such as the statistical determination of demand curves, business cycles, yield forecasting, population growth, and many others. Hotelling and Wilson shared much: both were trained in mathematics, both were convinced of t…
Where Did John von Neumann's Mathematical Economics Come From
This article shows, based on archival material, where and how von Neumann's mathematical economics evolved from the realization around 1932 that there existed a formal analogy between economics and games to the conviction in 1940 that the analogy between homo economicus and homo ludens was more than a formal one. It also shows that von Neumann's application of games to economics echoed in nontrivial ways scholarly discussions of a seminar organiz…
Unlocking the Mystery of the Origins of John von Neumann's Growth Model
In his famous "A Model of General Economic Equilibrium", von Neumann wrote that it was "obvious to what kind of theoretical models [his] assumptions correspond." To date, however, his sources of economic insights about the functioning of the continuously growing price-economy that he modeled have remained a total mystery. Based on archival material, this mystery is solved in this account by making visible the specific influences from economics an…
Edwin Bidwell Wilson and Mathematics as a Language
The economist Paul Samuelson acknowledged that he was a disciple of Edwin Bidwell Wilson (1879–1964), an American polymath who was a protégé of Josiah Willard Gibbs. Wilson’s influence on the development of sciences in America has been relatively neglected, as he mostly acted behind the scenes of academia at the organizational and pedagogical fronts. At the basis of his activism were original ideas about the foundations of mathematics and science…
Edwin B. Wilson and the Rise of Mathematical Economics in America, 1920-40
In the paper, Edwin B. Wilson's influence on the rise of mathematical economics in America between the 1920s and 1940s is explored. The focus is laid on showing how on the grounds of his foundational ideas about science Wilson worked at the organizational and educational fronts to modernize economics, at this at three levels. First, the paper shows the ways in which around 1930 Wilson was key, at the nationwide level, in the constitution of the f…
