Shadow Networks
The networks and institutions that support a finance-focused, market-centered model of economy and society from their intellectual roots through their ascendancy to their surprising resilience in the face of manifest failures are traced. The focus is on the quarter century, 1980–2006, leading to the global economic crisis and on the now decade-long crisis itself (2007–17). The approach uses political economy, with a focus on actors and their moti…
Consensus by Schooling and Power
Chapter 7 describes the origins of the Chicago School and its successful projection into the hearts and minds of the global ruling class. Working chronologically, there is a description of how this program took root in Chicago and how some of its central figures, Friedman and Harberger, undertook a hemispheric campaign to capture both academic and government institutions. A history of the deregulation movement in the US and case studies of Mexico…

Philip Mirowski, The Birth of the Business Cycle
The Birth of the Business Cycle results from a 1979 PhD dissertation by Philip Mirowski, a “lumbering and unwieldy manuscript” (according to the 1985 preface by the author), first revised in 1980 and discretely published in 1985 by Garland Publishing. Since then it could be found in some libraries but certainly not everywhere. Thirty years passed and it is now available for a larger public. Yet, Routledge preferred to print it as a facsimile of t…
Representantes e dominantes
Este artigo trata das ligações estabelecidas entre os detentores de capital e os grupos de governantes e ex-governantes, a partir de uma perspetiva crítica capaz de realçar o papel do Estado na estruturação do poder económico. É dado especial enfoque ao processo de cooptação, numa análise que engloba os dados referentes aos 776 governantes que ocuparam 1281 cargos nos 19 governos constitucionais (1976-2014
The Fellowship of Econometrics
Two defining moments in the history of econometrics and in that of the Econometric Society are discussed in this essay. The first is the founding of the society and the initial skirmishes over the criteria for selecting its fellows, who were to represent the best practices of econometrics. The second was, twenty years later, the discussion about the nature of the mathematics adequate for the progress of econometrics. In both cases, some dissident…
The Solow Residual as a Black Box
Robert Solow's "Technical Change and the Aggregate Production Function" (1957) has had an enduring influence on macroeconomics. In this article, we examine the history of fluctuations in growth theory through the story of the "Solow residual" as a "black box." We show that after Solow's seminal contribution, the "residual" became a reproducible object. Losing its ties with the intentions and beliefs of its originator, it was given new and unexpec…
Swinging All the Way
The history of the last seventy years of business cycle research can be written as the successive intonations of this dialogue and confrontation between Frisch and Slutsky. Is equilibrium best represented by the properties of a dampening and equilibrating mechanism, or by the process of averaging through time the results of the drawings from one urn—and which are the economic analogues for such processes? Necessity plus chance, or order out of di…
Determinismo e livre arbítrio nas ciências sociais
O artigo examina algumas das críticas poderosas desenvolvidas contra o paradigma do equilíbrio geral, em particular aquelas que foram apresentadas do ponto de vista de novas ideias da matemática e da física. Maxwell, Duhem, Poincaré, Hurst e Mandelbrot, como muitos outros, contrastaram o universo da simplicidade - a base do teorema do limite central e a maior parte da inferência estatística tradicional - com o universo da complexidade organizada,…
Nikolai Kondratiev and the Early Consensus and Dissensions about History and Statistics
Nikolai Kondratiev (1892-1938) was one of the most. if not the most influential of the talented young Russian economists working in the first third of this century, and certainly the best known internationally at that time. His decisive contribution was the presentation of the hypothesis of the long waves in capitalist development—named by Joseph Schumpeter and known thereafter as "Kondratiev waves." - that for some time was an important topic in…
