Olessia Kirtchik. Economic Knowledge in Crisis
This book is the result of almost two decades of historical-sociological research into how Soviet/Russian economists worked in the final years of the Soviet Union and the post-Soviet period and how they shaped economic policy during a time of profound political, institutional, and intellectual transformation. Drawing on extensive archival material, interviews, and secondary sources, Olessia Kirtchik reconstructs the professional environment of So…
Shestidesyatniki Economics, the Idea of Convergence, and Perestroika
The article analyzes the reception of the idea of convergence in Soviet economics from the 1960s to the end of the 1980s. It is predominantly concerned with convergence theory as a policy idea that inspired perestroika. Its central question is: Under the conditions of an authoritarian regime, how could an imported policy idea that bluntly contradicted official ideology reach a degree of dissemination and (among a specific stratum of the elite) po…

Neue Ordnungsökonomik
Die Wogen des neuerlichen oder auch »dritten« Methodenstreits haben sich geglättet, der Streit über Sinn und Nutzen der Ordnungsökonomik scheint beigelegt und die Ökonomen-Zunft zum Tagesgeschäft zurückgekehrt zu sein. Von Ruhe kann jedoch keine Rede sein. Vielmehr hat sich der Schwerpunkt der Debatte verlagert. Ging es zunächst um 'große' und grundsätzliche Fragen, geht es nun um konkrete und praktikable Vorschläge, die dazu beitragen können, je…
Friedrich List (1789–1846)
Volume I contains original biographical profiles of many of the most important and influential economists from the seventeenth century to the present day. These inform the reader about their lives, works and impact on the further development of the discipline. The emphasis is on their lasting contributions to our understanding of the complex system known as the economy. The entries also shed light on the means and ways in which the functioning of…

Introduction
Developed Socialism’ and Soviet Economic Thought in the 1970s and Early ’80s
The present paper is part of a larger project by the same author that deals with the relationship between economic ideas and institutional change in post-socialist Russia. The paper develops two main theses: First, it argues that the concept of “developed socialism” as introduced by Leonid Brezhnev in 1971 on the one hand deprived the planned economy of political “mobilizing energy”, yet at the other hand prevented it from turning it into a self-…
The concept of Ordnungspolitik through the lens of the theory of limited and open access orders
Economic Ideas and Institutional Change
An intense discussion is taking place in international political economy on the influence of economic ideas on institutional change. Case studies so far have, however, mainly focused on the Western industrialised countries and research seems to be biased towards cases in which new ideas caused lasting institutional change. The present paper addresses these two shortcomings by analysing the case of the Russian Stabilisation Fund (SF). This case is…
How German is German neo-liberalism?
Money and the Extension of Morals
Functioning markets require a state that will enforce property rights; contracts mediated by money; and the prevalence of a certain type of morality that prevents people from cheating in complex exchange relationships. Monetary exchange abstracts from the personal loyalties that bind small groups together, but at the same time it creates an overarching commitment to norms that bind people more loosely in national societies—as long as monetary exc…

Conflicting Patterns of Thought in the Russian Debate on Transition
After a paradigm shift in Russian economics around 1990, in the period 1992 – 2002 Russian economists increasingly returned to the path-dependent shared mental models that had prevailed earlier in their country. In particular, after the liberal reform concept seemed to have failed to solve the socio-economic problems of transition, the old debate between ‘Westernisers’ and Slavophiles was forcefully revived. The conflict between these camps has n…
Economic ideas and institutional change
The article analyses the shift in ideas that took place in Soviet economic thought between 1987 and 1991 and its relation to the changes in the real economy. The main focus of the article is on the issue of whether the evolution of Soviet economic thought in the analysed period changed in a gradual, path-dependent manner, or in a discontinuous, revolutionary fashion. Following the approach of Imre Lakatos, I argue that the conviction of being on …
