A History of Brazilian Economic Thought: From Colonial Times through the Early 21st Century ed. by Ricardo Bielschowsky, Mauro Boianovsky, and Mauricio C. Coutinho
In the introduction to the volume, the editors declare that “the book has been conceived to fill a void, namely the fact that the evolution of Brazilian economic thinking has never been covered from such a long-term perspective in the English language” (1). Indeed, a considerable portion of the historical research on Brazilian economic thought remains accessible only in Portuguese. The book thus offers a comprehensive review of the history of the…
Applying Pure Mathematics: Impa and the Entanglements of Mathematical Economics in Brazil
This article studies the entanglements of mathematical economics in Brazil by delving into the emergence of a scientific community identified with the subject at the Instituto de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (IMPA). It traces how networks built since IMPA's early years in the 1950s made economics a viable alternative to applied mathematics in an institute mostly dedicated to research in pure mathematics. The article examines how interests in mathem…

The present-day standard textbook narrative on the history of growth theory usually takes Robert Solow's 1956 contribution as a key starting point, which was extended by David Cass and Tjalling Koopmans in 1965 by introducing an intertemporal maximization problem that defines the saving ratio in the economy. However, the road connecting Solow to the Ramsey-Cass-Koopmans model is not so straightforward. We argue that in order to understand Koopman…
Once, I Lived in a House with a Name
Five poems written by Mohamed Assaf (a young Syrian boy who currently lives in Oxford with his family and studies at Oxford Spires Academy) under the mentorship of the poet Kate Clanchy. The introduction and poems themselves offer a reflection on Mohamed's old and new place(s) in the world, and the significance of writing as a way of responding to, and resisting, "refugeedom
