Classics in Institutional Economics, Part I, Volume 2
Institutional economics is recognised as a peculiarly American development in economics — nothing quite like it emerged in Britain or continental Europe. As such, a knowledge of the literature of institutionalism is a necessary part of understanding the history of American economics and American social thought more broadly. The work of the authors featured in this collection served to create and define the American institutionalist tradition in e…
[10] The Limitations of Marginal Utility
The article written by the founder of institutionalism and published in 1909 is translated into Russian for the first time. Veblen criticizes different versions of neoclassical theories of production and consumption, trying to consider human behavior in the wide cultural context. He suggests a methodological alternative to neoclassical theory, rebutting teleological explanations of neoclassics and emphasizing causal relations. Moreover Veblen for…
The Heterodox Economics of Gardiner C. Means
This book surveys the complicated history of U.S.-Chinese relations. After two brief chapters providing historical context, the focus shifts to the mid-twentieth century, the wartime alliance, the war's bitter aftermath, and the decades since World War II, including the path from normalisation to China's hosting of the 2008 Summer Olympics. The author traces the ways in which the two countries have managed the blend of common and competitive inte…

Research in the History of Economic Thought and Methodology
The series presents materials in two fields, the history of economic thought, and the methodology of economics, both broadly considered. The main annual volumes present articles comparable to what one would find in a journal, except that long pieces are welcome. Also presented are review essays on new works in the two fields, some of which are multiple reviews; plus occasional mini-symposia. The archival supplements present hitherto unpublished m…

Roger Backhouse on the Study of Dissent
Roger Backhouse (Backhouse 2004) has provided both an insightful deconstruction of dissent and a suggested terminology to deal with subtle distinctions within the domain of dissent, especially regarding the status of heterodoxy. There is more to be said, largely in expansion of his analyses—placing his analyses in a larger context. Section I summarizes Backhouse's position and Section II presents my own thoughts

A Companion to the History of Economic Thought
Assembling contributions from top thinkers in the field, this companion offers a comprehensive and sophisticated exploration of the history of economic thought. The volume has a threefold focus: the history of economic thought, the history of economics as a discipline, and the historiography of economic thought. Provides sophisticated introductions to a vast array of topics. Focuses on a unique range of topics, including the history of economic t…
Why the Georgist Movement Has Not Succeeded
The article surveys factors external and internal to the Georgist movement that account for its relative lack of success. Key factors are the identification of income with productivity and the belief in a right to privatize economic rent. The Georgist defense of productive property thus was seen as an attack on property
Historians of Economics and Economic Thought
The history of economic thought has always attracted some of the brightest minds in the discipline. These chroniclers of development have helped form our current views, and it is no surprise that many among them have been at the forefront of new movements in the history of ideas.This notable collection summarizes the work of these key historians of

The Political-Economic Logic of World Governance
The article identifies, neutrally, several factors together making for world governance, by whatever name. These are a desire by people to participate in the making of decisions that affect them in important ways and the growth of international political externalities. The analysis is conducted with consideration given to the nature and scope of governance, vis-a-vis government, the role and significance of international organizations, and the lo…
American Economics
This newly discovered correspondence from Clark to Giddings covers the entire period from their first acquaintance in 1886 to Giddings' death in 1931. However, the vast majority of nearly 280 letters and notes is concentrated within the years 1886-1895 when the most important development of Clark's economic thought as a theoretical economist was accomplished. During this period Clark achieved the formation of his marginal productivity theory of d…
A Research Annual
This volume examines topics in the discourse and methodology of economics, focusing on the types of metaphor, the use of mathematics, and the Economics of ... literature. Other articles deal with some continuities between Adam Smith and Max Weber, and pre-Keynesian heterodoxy in macro-monetary dynamics. A special section presents multiple reviews of books by Yuval Yonay and Perry Mehrling on American economic thought during the inter-war period. …

The growth of government
Robert Higgs's Crisis and Leviathan argues that there is a ratchet effect both after major wars and other serious crises, such as depressions: attitudinal or ideological changes lead not only to greater government spending but greater intrusion of government into economic command and control. Higgs's explanation of the growth of government, however, is embedded in and driven by a particular ideological view of the legal‐economic world, one that m…

Deregulation
The authors suggest that most arguments in favor of deregulation are really double-edged swords which render the debate over deregulation inconclusive at best. They challenge the following positions as inconclusive: (1) that deregulation per se is good; (2) that it protects rights; (3) that deregulation removes uncertainties concerning the marketplace; (4) that it reduces "nitpicking" and coercive regulation; (5) that deregulation promotes greate…

Can neoclassical economics be social economics
The question is both intriguing and important but, it is argued, impossible of a conclusive single-clear cut answer. Much depends on the specification of each of the schools and of what economics as intellectual inquiry is all about. Among other points, it is recognized that neoclassical economics is already a form of social economics; that both forms of economics are sets of tools and stories and not Truth; that the two schools can be seen as ei…
In (limited but affirmative) defence of nhilism
In this article I shall define, a form of nihilism that can be identified with economics. Nihilists typically allow room for free will and subjectivism. Futhermore, societal, political and economic factors are not exogenously given to us. They are the intended, and unintended, consequences of human action. Consequently radical indeterminancy is considered important as the future is largely unknowable. Once one accepts this type of nihilism, the t…

Henry George's Challenge to the Economics Profession
A session of the American Economic Association and the History of Economics Society commemorating the centennial of the publication of Progress and Poverty, while correctly assessing some of Henry George's writing as hyperbole, raised two important issues; George s legitimacy as an economist and his analysis's significance for economics. Our generation sins on the side of illogic too, but George's status has been questioned not only out of snobbi…

Murray Rothbard's Austrian perspective on the history of economic thought
Murray Rothbard's Austrian Perspective on the History of Economic Thought demonstrates his mastery of the literature. But his interpretation of the development of economics reflects, and is therefore severely limited by, his Austrian‐libertarian perspective. Indeed, Rothbard appropriates the history of economic thought principally to advance his perspective, as seen in his neglect of social control, his identification of his desired economic syst…
Society is a process of mutual coercion and governance, selectively perceived
Robert Higgs misunderstands me as suggesting that there is, in all societies, a mathematically constant level of coercion. My argument is that society and economy are fundamentally structures of coercion and governance, with selective perception being employed to choose which interests government will coercively protect. As a result coercion is ubiquitous—ideological preconceptions and material preferences to the contrary notwithstanding. Liberta…

William Beveridge
This new and revised edition of William Beveridge remains the only documented biography of the most influential social reformer of the twentieth century. In Britain and Europe the Beveridge Plan of 1942 is still widely regarded as the seminal document of the modern 'welfare state'. Yet if Beveridge was the 'father of the welfare state' he was also, as this study shows, one of its earliest and most severe critics. Jose Harris explores Beveridge's …

This study uses the recently published correspondence of Thurman W. Arnold to examine his work in legal realism, symbols, power, and antitrust.

The Economy as a System of Power
The articles in this volume address the fact and use of economic power in the American economy. The institutional economists' perspective exhibited here reflects a century-long focus on and concern with economic power begun by Thorstein Veblen. This volume presents a new generation of institutionalist scholars who add to that tradition a fresh and penetrating analysis of contemporary power centers and assessments of their use of power.

Toward Positive Public Choice Theory
The purpose of this article is to argue the nature of a theory of public choice which can, should be, and has been partly developed. By positive I mean objective and nonnormative, that is, without implicit or explicit normative premises, and which thereby attempts only to explain and/or describe, not to evaluate. In support of this objective the article argues the following: (1) There is a difference between saying (a) there is a tendency toward …

The Pareto principle is in fact the fundamental concept of welfare economics. However, it has serious analytical and heuristic limits, is selective and conservative in nature and use, and is heavily normative notwithstanding the pretensions by advocates of its positive character
