In their story, agriculture can produce a surplus of food to support urban manufacturing (and other things), but will not do so unless farmers want to trade the surplus for something. In the early stages of development, the absence of attractive manufactured goods gives no incentive to farmers. Once a taste for 'luxury' emerges, normally stimulated by imports from elsewhere, agriculture and industry expand together. Developments is driven by changing tastes combined with a changing menu of goods on offer.

Then, an exploratory claim is submitted to show that Smith's view of class and power relations is found to bear striking affinities with that of Max Weber, the great German sociologist.

In particular, a close reading of Jevons's Theory of Political Economyis proposed as an antidote to over-easy generalisation. Jevons by no means rejected all elements of classical theory. He did not propose a catallatic revolution; he attributed such an emphasis to earlier authors and himself stressed the role of production. It is shown that Jevons was very aware of the necessarily general equilibrium nature of his theory but that he was simply not able to cope with it satisfactorily; it is suggested that this explains, at least in part, his fluctuating and apparently inconsistent statements relating utility and labour to value. Jevons certainly attempted to sketch a complete marginal productivity theory of distribution, even if he was far from successful in providing one.

Special reference is placed Veblen's criticisms of Marx and the Marxist tradition for adhering to the preconceptions of (a) the natural right of labour to the full product, and (b) the teleology of conscious agents directing action towards change. Veblen was incorrect to believe that Marx adhered to the natural right of labour thesis, but he was correct to assert that Marx utilized undesirable teleologies. Overall, however, Veblen was attempting to reformulate and modernise the materialistic conception of history through an evolutionary analysis of institutions. The two thinkers complement each other in important ways, although Veblen's analysis is more evolutionary, collectivist and holistic.

He then proceeded to generalize the theory to imperfect competition and dynamics by applying the principles (but not the instruments) of traditional analysis. The definition of these domains thus aimede at rescuing as mush as possible from the orthodox approach.

This paper aims at highlighting and systematizing the features characterizing the work of innovative historians. Some of these features are represented by analyses concerning: 1 the intersections between pre-theoretical categories; 2 enunciative homogeneities/heterogeneities; 3 the formation and decomposition of social knowledge; 4 schools of thought These different research practices are then unified under the common label of 'uckronies' (possible albeit non-arbitrary histories). Lastly, some implications of this interpretation are examined. One of them is particularly important: i. e. the irreducible ambiguity of the historian of economic thought vis-a-vis the economist. On the one hand, the former may hermeneutically discover new and valuable ideas from an intellectual viewpoint, but, on the other hand, the ways in which these ideas can enrich economic theory are absolutely uncertain. This ambivalence, together with the 'scandalous' trans-disciplinarity of the concepts and instruments employed by the historian of economic thought, may explain the diffidence of the economists towards the new tendencies of historiography.

At issue is the significance the medievals attached to the concepts of price and justice and how an integrated economics and ethics made for a mode of reasoning about price different from the endogenousty focused price theory and limited boundaries of modern economics. It is argued in 'The Justice of the Just Price' that the treatment of price in medieval economic thought cannot be grasped without a comprehensive approach to its determination. The argument will first focus separately on the description of the medieval notions of price (cost of production, need, etc.) and of justice (virtue/vice) as features of the medieval concept of the just price. It proposes that, by virtue of the fact that the premises of the medieval system of analysis assumed greed as a nefarious part of human economic behaviour and presupposed the necessity of justice prior to exchange, medieval intellectuals justified on ethical grounds the interference of the just price in market activity and attempted to rectify the inequalities of exchange and distribution through the institutional regulations of Church and court.

Keynes, it is argued, gave involuntary unemployment a modern micro-founded definition yet — quite opportunely, in view of the difficulty of the task—did not attempt to provide a direct microeconomic explanation of it Rather, his claim to the demonstration of its existence rests on an indirect argument, where involuntary unemployment emerges at the corollary of effective demand falling short of its full employment level. This justification is based on the more or less tacit assumption that involuntary unemployment and effective demand-deficiency are equivalent. This claim of equivalence, it will be argued, is wanting. Hence the view that involuntary unemployment may have been demonstrated through the proxy of demand-deficiency falls. My paper evaluates whether Keynes's other arguments in favour of involuntary unemployment are robust. Several alternative interpretations of his General TheoryChapter Two 'fundamental observation', focusing respectively on money illusion, adjustment flaws, and resistance to cuts in nominal wages, are discussed. Here also the verdict will be negative. The general conclusion then follows that no solid explanation for the existence of involuntary unemployment is to be found in theGeneral Theory.

Abstract: The Modern variant of internationalization of Swedish economics began at the end of the nineteenth century will Wicksell as the first clearly international economist. By that time foreign influences came especially from the German-language area. We concentrate, however, on the period after the Second World war. Our statistics is based oninter alia, the Scandinagian Journal of Economics. English has gradually become the most important language in citations and Swedish dissertations. American influences have become large, and the Swedish ideal of research is very similar to the American one. The evolution is, however, not unequivocal.

In particular, we claim that the emergence of the analytical metaphor of the 'game' in economics can be viewed as part of a general reconceptualization of theory in a range of disciplines. That methodological reconstitution may be described as the emergence of a Structuralist view, an approach to theorizing which treated its object - be that a text, a kinship arrangement, or an economy - as a self-contained system, with its own internal logic, subject to its own 'laws'. In particular, individual texts, or observed social and economic arrangements, are now viewed as variations on an underlying logical theme, on a structural invariant. The latter is to be uncovered, in the case of linguistics, through the analysis of phonemes; in kinship analysis, through the rules governing the exchange of women because of the incest taboo; in von Neumann and Morgensterns game theory, through the possibilities for equilibrium coalition formation, based on the stable set. There thus emerged a tendency, across the intellectual spectrum, towards seeing things in combinatorialterms. Theoretical coherence was to be found in examining how objects 'held together' rather than analysing where they 'came from': nineteenth-century concerns with history, evolution and individual psychology give way to a distinctly modern emphasis on synchronic, formal structure, on analogical reasoning. Atomism gave way to holism, and formal elegance superceded immediate empirical content. Recourse to the metaphor of the 'game' was constitutive of this shift, which we examine by referring to Saussures General Course in Linguistics, to Formalism in mathematics and literary analysis, to Levi-Strauss's analysis of kinship and myth, and to von Neumann and Morgenstern's Theory of Games and Economic Behaviour.

This paper surveys recent research into preclassical economies, with particular emphasis on the mercantile period as to the adequacy of an answer of this critical question. Historical, 'ideational' and neoinstitutionalist approaches are analyzed as independent explanations for institutional change. While all of these approaches are found to have value, this survey argues that an unabashedly modern version of Marshallian economics has the greatest explanatory power.

Whenever new economic theories appear on stage, their theory of value is different. I classify value theories along Locke's lines of primary and secondary qualities. When value is thought to inhere in objects, value is a primary quality. The marginalists perceive value as given to objects by autonomous individuals independent of their environment (much like monads) with given preferences. Value here is a secondary quality. Both are unsatisfactory; value is a social construct. The question arises why social value theory, which Clark and Anderson worked on around the turn of the nineteenth century, did not take root.

H. Vieytes and colonial policy Abstract: Juan Hipolito Vieytes (1762-1815)was a hero of the May 1810 Revolution in Buenos Aires and one of the early economists in the River Plate area. Although Robert Sidney Smith dismissed Vieytes as a very minor figure in Spanish economic thought, this article attempts to show that Vieytes, an entrepreneur and journalist and only self-taught in political economy, was an early and able follower and divulgator of Smithian economics. He advocated free trade and liberal economic reforms, pointing at the competitiveness of the domestic workshops or 'popular industry' in a country with scanty population and extensive and cheap land.

S. Jevons's political economy Abstract: The paper begins with the question of what became, in Jevons's new economics, of the imperative in classical political economy to educate the masses. Much of the core of classical thought, including the Malthusian principle and the wages-fund theory, together with Mill's new arguments about market failure, rationalized the need for state-supported general education as a benefit to both the labouring classes and society at large. Jevons's strong claim that Ricardo-Mill economics must be abandoned would seem to leave education policy without a strong mooring. However, he re-anchored it in his productivity approach to wage theory, his utility maximization approach to value theory and public works spending, and his empirical analyses of business cycles, the potential of long-term austerity, and poor consumption-saving behaviour of the working classes. The end result was similar to that of classical political economy, a multi-dimensional rationale for a policy of State-supported general education.

Mill's conception of a just 'stationary state* of society is examined alongside his attempts to reconcile precepts of non-interference (individual freedom) and private property, with the constraints and obligations of social, economic, and ecological coexistence. It is shown that notwithstanding vaccillations, Mill ends up espousing an ethical norm of reciprocity and solidarity that is quite different from the premise of self-interest axiomatized in most economic models of competitive market economies. These intuitions about a duty of care complementary to the non-interference principle, when systematized, are shown to find a new contemporary application to questions of economic justice and environmental sustainability.

In this article, I re-examine the genesis of the extrinsic title in light of new evidence that I have discovered. I continue with a thorough analysis of the title itself. I argue that the introduction of carentia pecuniaewas a highly significant contribution to late scholastic economic thought because of its insight that interest represented the time value of money which was to be determined by a common estimate on the loan market or Bourse. Finally, I try to explain why Lessius did not consider it completely inconceivable or at odds that it was morally acceptable for merchants to fix a market or Bourse price for money lent, while at the same time remaining faithful to the traditional ecclesiastical prohibition of usury.

Economic theory, then, requires a conception of the individual agent or subject of economic activity. In this essay, I explore this conception as it develops in the classical theory exemplified by the work of Adam Smith and Karl Marx.

Shareholders' funds give banks the means of dealing with the difficulties involved in the process of money creation and which are inherent to the banking activity: convertibility constraint, credit and liquidity risks. Unlike the Richardian paradigm, Smith's 'real bill theory' and Thornton's 'lender of last resort theory' point out the functions of shareholder's funds. Therefore their monetary-banking approachs seem more complementary than contradictory. In other respects, the theory of endogenous money and credit introduces risks and capital in the analysis of exchange and lead to questioning the classical market theory constructed on the model of bartering Journal: The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought Pages: 60-84 Issue: 1 Volume: 5 Year: 1998 Keywords: Smith, Thornton, shareholders' funds, endogenous money, eighteenthcentury economics, credit, bank's risks, X-DOI: 10.1080/10427719800000003 File-URL: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10427719800000003 File-Format: text/html File-Restriction: Access to full text is restricted to subscribers.

The emphasis is on Hermann's contributions to the theory of capital, profits and relative prices. It is argued that Hermann's writing reflect a period of upheaval, both theoretically and socio-economically - a period of transition from classical to marginalist economics and one in which the 'social question' became ever more pressing. On the one hand Hermann contributed to the development of the classical theory of value and distribution, and on the other he prepared the ground for the replacement of that theory by marginal productivity theory.

The debates illustrate various problems with the analytical formulation of the cumulative process and how these problems were dealt with by the participants. Inter alia the institutional framework (inside versus outside money), excess demand or interest gap as an engine of inflation, the natural and the normal rate of interest, the relationship between the real and the monetary parts of the economy and price expectations are discussed in the paper.

It is shown that in the process of arguing out the third reason Wicksell came remarkably close to Frank Ramsey's view of the determinants of saving in economies with a positive subjective rate of discount. The similarities between Wicksell and Ramsey result from the fact that - in contrast with Fisher and Bohm-Bewerk - they assumed reinvestment, with the corollary that maximum permanent consumption will be reached at zero interest if the subjective rate discount of future utility is zero. Wicksell used his Ramsey-like saving rule to explain the interaction betwen Bohm-Bawerk's three reasons in either dynamic or stationary conditions, which enabled him to reformulate the third reason as the 'marginal productivity of waiting'. Finally, the relevance of Wicksell's savings rule for the perennial debate on 'Wicksell's missing equation' is considered in the last section of the article.

The first part provides a general view of Say's writings stressing his economic publications other than the Traite, and the non-economic publications covering two other realms of what was labelled the Sciences morales et politiques in France at that time. The second part is devoted to the Traite since this theoretical piece belonging to Classical political economy has a history throughout its various editions. Finally, the third part considers Say's second great book in economics, the Cours complet d'eeconomie politique pratique and explains the reasons why he wrote it.

Cobden, who is usually viewed as a representative of industrial interests, was expected to oppose the Bank Act. However, he did not. This paper attempts to show how can Cobden's views regarding monetary policy be reconciled with his stand as one of the most prominent leaders of industry at the time.

It is thus an anti-critique of Marx's reading of Ricardo. The chapter 'On Value' in Ricardo's Principles is shown to be a consistent and rigorous treatment of the determinants of prices of production. According to Ricardo labor-values merely serve to approximate more elaborate standards of value. Marx's criticism is shown to rest crucially on his own misinterpretation of Ricardo's definitions and presupposes his own - faulty - theory of surplus value. Therefore Ricardo's theory can - contrary to Marx's theory of surplus value - still be regarded as a fruitful complement to Sraffa's model.

This paper compares the original ideas of Cantillon and Ricardo with their adaptation and combination by Hayek. The differences help to expose fundamental problems in Hayek' theory and, more generally, in projects of integrating money and the business-cycle phenomenon with Walrasian general equilibrium theory.

This paper presents a general assessment of the relationship between these thinkers, in the domain of politics, methodology and economics, the emphasis being put on Friedman's reading of Keynes. In many places, Friedman stresses the convergences between his vision and Keynes's, as against the latter's Walrasian disciples. However, despite certain points of agreement at the methodological level, the two authors are radically opposed in terms of political vision and economic analysis.

Wages determined by broad economic and social forces entail there product prices determined independently of demand and supply functions. Some main questions raised for the modern economists by this radical reorientation of economic theory are then considered in order to conclude that it is aginst that background that Sraffa's mature work should be set with its three main contributions, of a rediscovery of the approach, of a complete and transparent solution of the problems of price determination it raises, and of its application to the critique of neoclassical theory. Among several developments originating from Sraffa's seminal work, two are singled out for mention: (i) the possibility of deficiencies of aggregate demand in the long period no less than in the short one; this follows naturally from the abandonment of the neoclassical theory of distribution, of which the role of the interset rate in equilibrating savings and investment is a corollary; (ii) the question of the distribution of the surplus between wages and profits in a modern economy where wages are no longer confined to subsistence.

I have questioned elsewhere the Sraffian understanding of Ricardo. Assuming this challenge to be justified, the question arises how Sraffa may have erred. I approach the problem by asking: (i) whether his reading can only be rationalized in post-Marxian terms; and (ii) how he arrived at his reading. I conclude that Sraffa did read Ricardo in Marxian fashion; but that all the relevant Sraffian features are to be found in Ricardo though only within a narrowly restricted range of texts.

This view can be interpreted that firms perceive kinked demand curves. It is emphasized that Azariadis's theory of implicit contracts can explain unemployment only if we take Sraffa's not Walras's, view of competitive market.

Regretted is the shortfall from his unlimited potential to his sparse bibliography of publications and oral lecturing, and his diffidence as an editor to interpret and criticize his classical heroes. Admired by Keynes and Wittgenstein and friend to the Marxist Antonio Gramsci, Piero was a much loved character. Because of, and not in spite of, the fact that he early lacked sympathy for the general equilibrium methodology and the mixed-economy ideology that dominated twentieth century mainstream economics, Sraffa was able to uniquely add value to the corpus of economic science.

The choice of entries referring to theory is based on Ricardo's own concepts and carefully avoids neoricardian, Marxian and neoclassical terms. Examples discussed concern 'comparative advantage' and 'value' The entries referring to Ricardo's life are proof of Sraffa's broad historical interests and focus on certain characteristics of Ricardo.

Despite his importance as a monetary theorist nothing is known of the development of Fullarton's monetary thought. The manuscript published here was written by Fullarton in India in 1836 in response to a proposal for the establishment of a Bank of India. It is an important discovery, not only because it is the first known economic work of one of the nineteenth century's most important writers on money and banking but also because it shows that Fullarton had developed views consistent with his later Banking School theory much earlier than previously believed.

This paper argues that, despite the existence of significant continuities, Keynes's philosophical thinking did undergo a major change, and specifically that this change can be seen clearly when Keynes's philosphy is viewed in the context of the philosophy of David Hume: the early Keynes attempted to answer Hume's analysis of induction, but the later Keynes accepted Hume's sceptical conclusion that custom and not reason is the 'guide of life'.

In doing so, the paper comprehensively reviews all of the corroborative evidence surrounding the plagiarism allegation laid against Thornton, drawing particular attention to a little known letter to The Times written by Thornton, in an effort to clear his good name of any impropriety. It is the conclusion of this paper that Thornton has no case to answer; the evidence not only from Thornton's own early work on wages and trade unions, together with additional corroborative evidence suggests that far from having plagiarized Longe's (1866) work, Thornton apticipated many of his ideas.

We reconsider Jevon's use of seemingly classical concepts as well as the role of the population mechanism in Jevons's works.

Author-X-Name-Last: Fase Title: Pierson on scarcity of gold and changes in the general price level Abstract: This paper is a historical reflection on the monetary view of Pierson. (1838-1910) a nineteenth-century Dutch economist, Bank president and prime minister, and his writing on the appropriateness of index numbers to measure inflation. Two aspects are conisdered. First, a policy of price stability should not focus solely on a general price index because this does not take inot account monetary factors sufficiently. Second, a pure monetary explanation as in the gold debate of the 1880s falls short of the mark and might conceal what really is going on, e.g. deflation.

A couple of these economists, Gunnar Myrdal and Johan Åkerman, received obvious impulses from American institutionalism. This article deals with the case of Åkerman. To attempt a wall-to-wall chart of institutional influences on an economist is hardly possible. But what is possible is to examine occasions when he was exposed to powerful 'jolts', viz in conjunction with studies at an American university. Johan åkerman studied at Harvard in Cambridge in 1919-20. he evetually became - alongside Myrdal - the leading institutional economist.

This article concludes, contrary to previous arguments, that the Famine did not fundamentaly influence the discipline's development, and relates this conclusion to debates over whether and how political economy functioned as an ideology in shaping policy responses to the Famine.

Hicks's treatment of the supply side Keynes's reaction to the different SI-LL models later developments of SI-LL by Hicks and his comments on the construction of SI-LL are discussed. It is argued that one of the different SI-LL models does indeed represent a faithful rendition of the analytical core of Keynes's General Theory and does belong more to the Marshall-Pigou-Keynes tradition than to a Walrasian tradition. Textbook IS-LM (and AS-AD) models are compared to the original SI-LL models. It is argued that textbook IS-LM is decisively different from the SI-LL approach this difference being the cause of presently discussed problems and obscurities of the textbook IS-LM/AS-AD approach.

His 1958 and 1981 papers on that topic have been wholly ignored in the economic literature. In both of them differentmeasures of real income are provided. These show to what extenteach one of them can be relied upon. Our assessment argues that it is impossible to measure social income independentlyof the reasons for which that measure is required and that any valuation cannot ultimatelybe made independently of political and ethical considerations.

To overcome this state of affairs, the article seeks to define and characterize the specific attributes of a historical political economy which arose in Europe between roughly 1870 and 1900. Authors from four countries are considered: Germany, Britain, France and Italy. We focus specifically on the relaionship and tension between empirical history and economic theory, thereby illustrating the resulting approach to policy. We contend that our characterization provides a useful illustration of the achievements and shortcomings of historical empiricism, inductivism, and pragmatism in economics.

A series of partly chance leads pointed to Bastiat as the earliest author to have employed circle or wheel diagram in an associated context, and one with whose writings most later users of it were acquainted. Although Patinkin mistakenly concluded that late-nineteenth century Contitental European literature completely eschewed diagrams, he was right in hypothesizing the wheel diagram to have originated outside the main stream of economic thought.

After justifying the choice of these three economists as representatives of German Keynesianism the theoretical foundations of expansionist programmes, in particular the distinction between primary and secondary depression are examined. A list of crucial elements of Keynes's General Theory is then established, which is used in the main section for testing the claim of anticipations. The conclusion is that the policy prescriptions were based on different foundations so that with regard to theory such a claim is not warranted.

It highlights the contribution of some of the first econometriians, who argued for a new view of economics as an exact science based on mechanical models and mathematically defined theories, while supporting planning rather than the indirect steering devices suggested by Keynes. The inroduction of this type of mathematical models in the framework of Keynesian macro-policies is related to two major events: the Oxford meeting of the Econometric Society in which the IS-LM model emerged, and the Cambridge meeting dedicated to the discussion of Tinbergen's work on business cycles. The framework, antecedents and consequences of Keynes-Tinbergen debate on the role of econometrics is here assessed on the basis of unpublished documental evidence. Although most of the econometricians took sides with tinbergen against Keynes's scepticism on the use of formal models and simple representations in macroeconomics, several of them, including the more influential of the then young mathematically inclined economists, shared some of the basic elements of the critique. These discussions among Frisch, Tinbergen, Lange, Divisia, Roos, Marschak and others are reviewed in the paper and related to the evolution of the Cambridge group itself.

An argument will be made for his interest in achieving what he would regard as conceptual integrity of the determinism in neoclassical economic theory and the randomness in econometrics. This involves providing a narrative of how he came to the idea of rational expectations and what he had to relinquish to be able to put his initial interpretation of the concept to use.

Only the economic argumens are considered. They are constrasted with the mercantilist model of Breams (1986). It is shown that some of the arguments in favour and against the readmission are according to the mercantilist doctrines, and others are not. More importantly, the study of the controversy highlights new topics that extend the mercantilist model.

Keynes. We argue that pace Bentham, Smith did not intend to preclude loan financing of all 'risky' ventures and give a 'monopoly' to safe investments and did not neglect the potential emergence of black credit markets. Yet Smith ought to have modified his position independently of Bentham's criticism, considering a marked rise in the rate at which governments borrowed in the late 1770s.

Hegel's doctrine of freedom implies that market relations realize a distinctive form of freedom; however, due to the ontological deficiencies of this freedom, it must be subsumed under a superior freedom that is realized only within the state. The paper also explains why Hegel, although an economic liberal, does not accept the basic tenets of political liberalism, and why he does not regard economic science as a tool for public policy.

The book clearly belongs to a distinctively Belgian tradition of 'liberal socialism'. Drawing upon archival material, we try to clarify the origins of Huet's theory of property rights. We focus on two intimately related questions: (1) Have the core ideas formulated by Huet in Le Regne been expressed and discussed before the publication of the book? (2) In what sense have reflections upon the science of economics contributed to Huet's views?

Lewis is credited with recognizing the importance of human behaviour, though unable to resolve the limitations of neoclassical thinking. Hirschman and Myrdal, characterized as holistic and evolutionary in approach, are argued to be more successful in integrating human behaviour into theories of long-run change.

The rediscovery of a forgotten piece Quesnay included in an agricultural treatise — the Essai sur l'amelioration des terres — leads us to reconsider the origins of the first edition of the Tableau. This forgotten piece of writing is the missing link between Quesnay's first economic writings and the Tableau. It improves on the theory of grain trade liberalization Quesnay presented in his first writings on two levels. First, it reconstructs of his previous argument in order to give it a more coherent shape. Second, this text complements the Encyclopedie articles by a growth mechanism. Through a reconstruction of Quesnay's growth mechanism, we show that his argument is a significant analytical step toward the first edition of the Tableau.

In recent contributions, however, it is emphasized that a system of natural liberty will only generate beneficent distributional outcomes if the rules of commutative justice safeguard natural liberty and mirror community standards of justice. In this paper it is argued that Smith increasingly came to question whether commercial society could meet this requirement. Given their subservience to sectional interests, rules of justice neither safeguard natural liberty nor conform to community standards. Moreover, the inherent strain in commercial society to corrupt man's moral sentiments erodes community standards of justice. In the development of Smith's views his growing concern for distributive justice is reflected.

Consequently, the agent's preference order will be viewed as depending on his initial situation, and on asymmetric sensitivity to gains and losses, relative to this situation. This leads 1) to discuss the coexistence of multiple preference orders, illustrated by Bentham's analysis of the optimal labour contract; and 2) to introduce true deliberation as a consequence of the gap between positive choice and rival assessments of utility.

I. Tugan-Baranovskii, which is devoted to outlining his vision of an international socialist economy. It focuses on Tugan's approach to economic planning, money and prices in socialism, and the new international economic order. It is shown that Tugan attempted to assimilate marginalism into his vision of planning, and was more flexible than the Bolsheviks in adapting socialist economics to the task at hand. The reception of Tugan's approach is also briefly sketched, as is the context of the socialist calculation debate.

The history of increasing returns is much less continuous. The reason for this irregular history lies, in my view, in the analytic nature of the subject. I concentrate on the recent history of the implications of increasing returns for path dependence in economic development. Foreshadowed by Veblen (1915) the topic was made explicit by Paul David in some theoretical analyses of topics in economic history (1971, 1975) and then by subsequent papers by David and by Brian Arthur in the 1980s. Contemporaneously, Farrell, Katz, Saloner, and Shapiro came to parallel conclusions in a very specific industrial organization context marked by network externalities.

Two years later, in 1768, another discussion of the phenomenon of extensive differential rent appeared in the physiocratic periodical Ephemerides du citoyen, probably written by J.-N.-M. de Saint-Peravy. This article, while remaining a short and isolated contribution, indicates how differential payments for the use of land can be incorporated within a value theory in which normal prices reflect necessary costs of production and how differential rent can be reconciled with the explanation of rent as a return on capital.

My model does not require the inappropriate assumptions common to other Ricardian models. Using this model, I show that if machinery is introduced, both the demand for labour and the output of the consumption good must decline temporarily and can then recover. As well, the temporal decline of value of the gross produce is not a necessary condition for the above temporal decline of the demand for labour.

Garegnani and others argue that Keynes' criticisms of the classical theory of interest apply to later neoclassical writers, but not to Ricardo. This paper re-examines Keynes' criticisms. It argues that Keynes attacked Ricardoapos;s theory of interest despite his awareness that Ricardo did not hold the 'classical theory'. Moreover, Keynes not only expressed sympathy for Ricardo's understanding of interest, but his criticisms which do apply to Ricardo do not address Ricardo's theory of interest.

Its main features are as follows. First, I argue that the hallmark of this conception is to posit an interrelationship between two equilibrium concepts — market-day and normal equilibrium. I claim that they are part and parcel and cannot be analysed separately. Second, my reconstruction gives a central role to the market period. Third, I argue that the so-called short and long-period equilibrium concepts refer to the same unique concept of normal equilibrium. Fourth, I argue that Marshall's value theory admits the effective existence of disequilibrium states. A Marshallian disequilibrium refers to cases where market-day and normal values fail to coincide, this state of affairs going along, however, with market clearing. I also propose an alternative interpretation of Marshall's corn model wherein perfect information is considered the linchpin of achieving equilibrium. Finally, I argue that my reconstruction avoids a series of interpretative pitfalls.

Its proposal for a 'single tax' on land rents inspired both socialists and liberal reformers in the closing decades of the nineteenth century but it was attacked and condemned by virtually all the leading economists of the day, principally on the ground that it was not possible even in principle to separate pure ground rent from profits on capital invested in land. The question whether land is a special factor of production, essentially different from labour and capital, turns out to be at the very heart of all the controversies surrounding the doctrines of Georgism; my view, like that of Marshall, is that land is indeed a unique factor of production.

T. Thornton to J. S. Mill and J. E. Cairnes. Although this cache of letters is by no means large, it is nonetheless significant. First, Thornton's letters to Mill and Cairnes provide material for a reassessment of his relationship with both men. Second, it is apparent from these letters that Thornton's intellectual preoccupations ranged widely. Hence, they constitute the best supplement presently available to Thornton's published writings on political economy and philosophy. Third, the letters are an important 'literary' source in recovering aspects of Thornton's illustrious company career at East India House (1836-1880). In this context, they form an invaluable companion to his published writings on India. They may even afford some clues about the role he played in the formation of policy in India in the period after the 1857 mutiny.

But have failed to notice that Sidgwick remained a major reference in Mathematical Psychics (1881). Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to show that, in this book, Edgeworth wanted to refine upon the problem of wages addressed by Sidgwick in 1879. The thesis of the paper is that Sidgwick and Edgeworth's disagreement as to the role of open competition in the resolution of indeterminacy in the labour market stems from two different notions of competition. This latter can be seen as a differentiation process, as in Sidgwick's, or as a replication mechanism, as in Edgeworth's.

This assertion is demonstrated through the applications of these techniques to derive specific results in duality theory. These applications allow an apparently new derivation of the equality between the partial derivative of the expenditure function, with respect to the price of some good, and the compensated level of demand for this good. In addition, use of Antonelli's analytical techniques reveals links between certain results in duality theory that, apparently, have not been noticed before in the relevant literature.

Abstract: From the late 1940s to the early 1970s Andrews, Downie, Penrose and Richardson contributed to reassessments of Marshall's explanation of industrial organization. Each author emphasizes a particular aspect of industrial organization — internal and external organization, innovation, and cross-entry — and each elaborates Marshall's much discussed notion of evolutionary principles. Marshall sought coordination of developing knowledge and feared atrophy through concentration, drawing evidence from empirical studies of firms succeeding one another. The post-Marshallians undertook research in an age of larger joint stock companies, and drew conclusions, varying from optimistic to pessimistic, concerning the role of competition in shaping economic development.

In retrieving past ideas that have not been followed up in the modern theories of altruism, historians of economics should be able not only to shed some light on the main stages in its development but also to show that its achievements cannot be assessed independently of its limits.

Abstract: This paper, presented as an addresss to the Annual Conference of the European Society for the History of Economic Thought, argues that writing history may be more interesting if progress is not made the leitmotif. Starting from an examination of early causal accounts of the history of political economy, written in the ninteenth century by Marx, Toynbee, Ingram and Leslie, a plea is made for narratives rather than explanations. Consistent with the former historians of economic thought this may be perceived as eavesdropping on conversations of the past. To understand the richness of these conversations they need to perceive their work not just as a sub-discipline of economics but in a wider interdisciplinary setting.

His holistic understanding of political economy became a tradition among German administrative bureaucracy. His economic doctorine must have been seen in the context of a comprehensive social theory linking an idealist statism with an ethical evolutionism against the background of an historicist world view. The paper critically discusses how Schmoller wanted to force these competing streams of thought and their influences among his contemporaries into a developmental model that would harmonize the radical social changes of his day.

Abstract: This essay examines Keynes' views on banking behaviour and the relationships between central banks and banks as they evolved from his Tract on Monetary Reform to The General Theory. The objective is to clarify in what sense money may be exogenous in his final work. We identify a distinctly Keynesian position on the money-supply process, featuring money exogeneity due to bank behaviour. Our findings run counter to both neoclassical synthesis view on exogenous money cum passive banks as well as the post Keynesian challenge of endogenous money cum passive banks.

It shows that Sraffa's criticism of the supply side of Marshall's theory of value in a competitive partial equilibrium model involves analytical and methodological issues. Endorsing an agressive methodology Sraffa logically reconstructs Marshall's model on variable returns to determine its empirical domain. He demonstrates that the latter encompasses only the empirically irrelevant cases of specific factor industries and specific external economies industries and that it cannot be generalized to non-specific factor industries and to non-specific external economies industries.

It is argued that Smith's social and economic philosophy is inherently theological and that his entire model of social order is logically dependent on the notion of God's action in nature. It will be shown that far from being a purely secular, materialist or evolutionist approach Smith works from the argument from design to construct a model that is teleological and securely located in the chain of being tradition. His focus upon happiness as the Final Cause of nature renders improbable any claims for proto-evolutionism in his work while his arguments about the deliberate endowment of defects in the human frame make no sense without the supposition of design and purpose in nature.

Nevertheless, the construction of ideal-types reminds greatly the definition of economic rationality made by John Stuart Mill, who also built up a concept to explain, in individualistic terms, the real world in a given historical and geographical context. The position defended here is that Weber generalizes Mill's methodological proposition of concept formation regarding economic rationality to accomplish his much larger project of determining the social factors responsible for the rationalization of the Western civilization.

Although their results can easily be reconciled mathematically, Bohm-Bawerk's 'misunderstanding' of the Jevonian formula reveals a fundamental difference concerning their derivation. Despite their formal similarity, the two models exhibit a different conceptual architecture and thus also attach quite different meanings to the concept of the interest rate. Rather than trying to reconcile them, the paper suggests to analyse their relationship as part of an entire transformation, which can be equally traced between the value and price theories of the two authors.

Saving and liquidity cannot be conceived — as Keynes and the post-Keynesians claim — as separate categories, in that they are functionally related. This doesn't necessarily means that one has to abandon a monetary theory of the rate of interest which is based on the liquidity preferences of banks and wealth-holders (Kaldor, Shackle). Moreover, we point out a difficulty for the functioning of the multiplier that arises when — according to Keynes — the liquidity position of the revolving fund of finance is restored at the end of the circulation period.

However, post-Keynesians have not succeeded in getting their message through, partly because of the difficult and controversial economic issues upon which they embarked, partly because they emphasized, both in their monetary and growth analysis, theories that do not radically depart from the mainstream of economics. This paper therefore argues that post-Keynesian economics got off on the wrong foot. Rather than having emphasized the works of Minsky and (the early) Kaldor in money, post-Keynesians should have considered the contributions of Robinson and Kahn. Also, rather than having emphasized the work of Robinson and Harrod on growth, they ought to have given greater emphasis to Kaldor's demand-oriented growth theory. Hence, as a simplification, post-Keynesians should have considered Robinson on money, not Kaldor; and Kaldor on growth, not Robinson.

Contemporaneous accounts are used to provide a correct description of it. It is shown that its institutions and procedures were very different from the received ideas. Prices were not called out by a market official; securities were not traded in the order in which they appeared on a list; disequilibrium transactions occurred; information varied during the course of the day; and a given security traded at many different prices during the course of a given session, and sometimes simultaneously at different prices.

Marshall's ideal mix, already clear in his early paper Ye Machine, was the subordination of a powerful and growing set of routines to human creativity and foresight. The 'neurophysiological analogy' helps to understand Marshall's opinions on division of labour, business concentration, industrial districts, 'character' and other general issues of social evolution.

Sraffa tested the explanatory power of a Marshallian monopolistic partial equilibrium model and concluded that that model is able to treat one source of variable returns (firm-internal economies); but this articulation of Marshall's theory does not substantially improve on the trade-off between logical consistency and empirical relevance which afflicted the theory in its whole.

The 'financial physics' of a nineteenth-century forerunner, Jules Regnault Abstract: We analyse the work of a neglected French economist, Jules Regnault, whose Calcul des Chances et Philosophie de la Bourse (1863) laid the basis of modern stochastic models of price behaviour and contains an anticipation of econometrics. At a time when short-term speculation was denounced as immoral, he approached this question 'scientifically' and constructed two models. The first one was relative to short-term speculation and took the shape of a random walk - a model used by Bachelier (1900). The second one deals with long-term speculation and aims at evaluating the mean value of the French 3 per cent bond.

It is argued that Sraffa's 1925 framework of analysis is a 'general' equilibrium model of the supply side of the economy with many Ricardian features. It is suggested that Samuelson's 1959 Ricardian model and 1971 Marshallian specific-factors model may help re-analyse Sraffa's 1925 work along the lines outlined above. It is also contended that the elements of continuity between Sraffa's early work and Production of Commodities are more pronounced than commonly believed.

It's title, however, does not accurately reflect the actual content of the chapter itself; and the text, which contains a discussion of the concept of roundaboutness, may leave the reader uncertain about Keynes' attitude towards that concept and on the actual focus of the chapter. In this paper a study of the surviving drafts of The General Theory and of other sources relevant to the purpose of elucidating the process of composition of the chapter allows us to show how and why those peculiarities emerged and helps to cast light on their meaning.

The theoretical duality of Smith's political economy Abstract: The aim of the paper is to show that Adam Smith elaborated a distinctive image of nature related to economic discourse. In Smith, visible events (or interdependencies) must be connected to invisible principles which, in particular, should provide an explanation of the self-coordination processes (especially that of market). In a broad sense, this approach was adopted by a number of disciplines in Smith's time (especially the sciences of life), which focused the analysis of the organization of complex systems. Moreover, the conceptual pair (visibility and invisibility) is connoted in terms of theoretical duality, and the paper attempts to demonstrate how such duality is reproduced in Smith's economic categories.

The attention focuses on fundamental issues in controversy between them. These are Say's confounding of 'value', 'riches' and 'utility', the theory of value, the problem of the measure of value, and the distinction between net and gross revenue; and the theory of income distribution, especially the explanation of rents and of profits. Since Say variously expressed his wish to learn from Ricardo and to absorb his doctrine, the aim of the paper is essentially to examine whether he made any progress in this regard. Whenever possible we let the authors speak for themselves.

Six key features of Kalecki's monetary analysis are identified. The paper outlines Kalecki's dismissal of the 'Pigou effect' and the 'Keynes effect', and then discussion the relationship between the 'principle of increasing risk' and the nature of the supply of credit. It discusses interest determination in Kalecki's writings and the manner in which he distinguished different types of money.

However, this literature did not seem to be aware of the contribution that von Stackelberg made to the issue almost half a century earlier. This paper outlines von Stackelberg's contribution to the theory of costs under joint production. It critically assesses the place of his contribution in the modern history of the theory of joint production and it suggests an answer to the question of why von Stackelberg's theory of joint production fell into oblivion and even contributed to the abandonment of the issue for decades.

This article establishes that Ricardo was well informed about business conditions in Britain. His livelihood depended on being able to predict, months in advance, the state of financial markets. This, in turn, meant predicting changes in the money supply, the foreign exchange rate, Government expenditures, and general economic activity. The article also illustrates how Ricardo used this same information when assessing Britain's economic state and when making recommendations about the choice of a monetary standard.

The present article concentrates on Leslie's use of that method and the results it enabled him to achieve — in dealing with issues such as economic aspects of militarism, forms of land tenure in Europe, gold supplies and price levels, fiscal reform and wage determination. Reviewing these results suggests that Leslie's work was not so much in contradiction with the neoclassical approach of Jevons and Marshall as complementary to it.

Harrod seems to have become acquainted with this argument via Hayek's Monetary Theory and the Trade Cycle, where it was expressed in a weaker form. Harrod developed it into his instability principle, maintaining that a correct (endogenous) explanation of the cycle requires that the system is unstable. This argument preceded the actual elaboration of Harrod's cycles and growth mechanism, of which it provides the epistemic foundation.

Simonsen explicitly introduced the cash-in-advance constraint as an inequality in a non-linear programming problem and provided a diagrammatic illustration of the interior and boundary solutions. He also applied the concept to the discussion of the quantity theory of money and showed that the classical dichotomy is valid for the stationary equilibrium of prices over time.

Hume's rejection of provable knowledge led to Smith's psychological explanation of science and thence to his theory of growth through the division of labour. Marshall's cautious theorizing and cognitively based evolutionary perspective stimulated contrasting responses from Sraffa and Young. Robinson matched method to content but Chamberlin did not, and Andrews's attempt to develop a process-based price theory met more resistance than Penrose's reinvention of growth theory. We currently observe conflicting methods of handling evolution and business strategy.

A close look at the intellectual origins of the book in Patinkin's own life shows it to emerge equally from the Old Chicago School of Simons/Mints/Knight and the Cowles Commission of Lange/Marschak/Haavelmo. Patinkin's conception of money as essentially an outside asset is argued to emerge from the historical context of war finance, and is contrasted with the Gurley-Shaw conception of money as a form of inside credit.

Drawing on unpublished papers as well as his publications, this paper traces the evolution of Patinkin's writing on this subject and seeks to explain, taking account of his statements about historiography, why he approached it in the way that he did. It argues that his earlier and later work formed part of a single intellectual journey that originated in his training, influenced by Frank Knight and Jacob Viner, in Chicago in the 1940s.

We claim that the author adopted this position because he believed that the assumption of wage rigidity misrepresented the concept of involuntary unemployment and that, consequently, it had to be rejected. It is shown that this conclusion resulted from the confrontation of Patinkin, during the writing of his Ph.D. thesis, with the interpretations of the Keynesian theory argued respectively by Lange, Klein and Modigliani.

It is argued that Patinkin's quest is reflected on the development of the concept of an aggregate supply function in the goods market. Patinkin's interpretation of aggregate supply and unemployment is compared to similar ideas put forward by Jacob Marschak, Trygve Haavelmo and Lawrence Klein, his former colleagues at the Cowles Commission in Chicago.

It is shown that he is perfectly correct, but there is a confusion in the literature between the 'neutrality proposition' and the independence of equilibrium of the quantity of money. I then turn to homogeneity and its importance, and stress that the homogeneity applies to current as well as expected prices. I am rather unkind to mathematizing the double coincidence of wants argument, since it seems very obvious and the mathematics is exceptionally ugly. The paper concludes with remarks on monetary policy and the connection between the theory of money and that of information.

Patinkin stands as the last major contributor to a Walras-Hicks-Patinkin tradition based on an attempt at introducing money into the agent's utility function. More in Hicks than in Walras' footsteps, Patinkin gives a clear priority to money as a store of value over an assumed function as a means of exchange. It is also shown how confident the profession was in the early 1950s in the ability of general equilibrium to provide theoretical foundations to the neo-classical synthesis. However, the similitudes between the technique used by Walras and Patinkin are only a smokescreen behind which very different intentions are hidden.

A critical re-examination of Patinkin's theory of involuntary unemployment Abstract: In this paper I evaluate the logical consistency of Patinkin's claim that involuntary unemployment can result from slow speed of adjustment. I argue that Patinkin's argument is flawed because of an unjustified breach of continuity in the trade technology assumption between the microeconomic and the macroeconomic parts of Money, Interest, and Prices. Finally, I claim that the issue of flexibility versus rigidity should be linked to the trade technology assumption. As soon as a centralized trade technology is assumed, flexibility automatically comes in.

It is shown that Tooke adopted the “long period method” formulated by Adam Smith to analyse a capitalist society. It is shown that like most nineteenth-century classical economists, Tooke adopted a modified version of Adam Smith's “adding-up” approach to normal prices and distribution which incoporated Ricardo's theory of rent. The paper shows that based on this approach, Tooke explained short-run fluctuations in prices be reference to factors that disrupted the adjustment of supply to the “effectual” demand for commodities.

It is argued that the potential of political economic for spreading a favourable interpretation of British development was not in fact realized until the end of the period considered. One reason for this was that earlier on, the image of economic Britain suffered from the legacy of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars, with a link often being established between British pauperism and British aristocratic, 'feudal' society and government. Additionally, political economy struggled to gain ascendancy over other modes of social analysis, like Saint-Simonism and the science of administration, which either combined with it, thus affecting its potential for a favourable understanding of Britain, or directly challenged it.

Gramsci's ideas are first reviewed on terms of his concept of hegemony, concept of caesarism and philosophy of praxis. On this basis three philosophical themes are identified in his thinking: the conept of emergence; catastrophic equilibrium; and the idea of a concrete universal. The thinking of Sraffa (both earlier and later) and the thinking of Wittgenstein (later) are then interpreted in terms of these same three themes. These links neither exhaust their philosophical thinking nor necessarily constitute the only links among the three. But these ideas provide one way of exploring connections among the three. The paper closes with brief remarks concerning two opposed philosophical traditions in modern European intellectual history at the turn of the century — one associated with thinking in Britain and one associated with continental thinking — meant to suggest the distinctiveness of a line of thinking running through Gramsci, Sraffa and Wittgenstein.

The development of this theoretical framework is outlined in order to argue that F. Graham's demonstration consists of a synthesis of previous work. We then discuss the debate that took place in the 1930s, which ended with the rejection of Graham's argument as being a paradox or a theoretical curiosity.

Abstract: The paper explores the theory of the aggregate price, profit, and business fluctuations in Keyne's Treatise for its implications for modern macro-economic analysis. As in the Treatise, profits are first defined within a theory of the agregate price level, as aggregate investment minus saving. Deriving aggregate total revenue and aggregate total cost from this price theory, the paper shows how to construct a version of the Keynesian cross diagram. The cross construction suggests an important qualification for fiscal policy, that total cost does not shift. Then, using a neoclassical definition of profit and the total-cost / total-revenue approach, the paper derives aggregate supply, and then adds aggregate demand in an integrated framework. Comparative statics of the AS-AD analysis and the central role of profit in the Treatise suggest that a focus on profit might be useful in identifying exogenous technology shocks of real business cycle theory.

Part 2 extends this discussion to Walras's attempts at reaching a similar result when dealing with the successive versions of his theory of production before 1900. Part 3 contrasts Walras's and Edgeworth's respective technologies of exchange in order to demonstrate that a distributionally neutral tatonnement is an intrinsic part of Walras's theory of exchange. Finally, and besides briefly summarizing the results, the conclusion develops the crucial connection between the necessity of a converging and distributionally neutral tatonnement in pure economics with Walras's theories of property and justice.

This paper accordingly proposes a reconsideration of Aristotle's analysis in the light of modern bargaining theory. This reconsideration reconciles the two principles of distributive and corrective justice as ruling simultaneously exchange relations through the figures of geometric and arithmetic proportions, respectively. It also suggests a new reconstitution of the missing diagram supposedly illustrating Aristotle's analysis, which — contrary to the conventional square endowed with diagonals, used since Albertus Magnus' commentary — fits the function to which such a diagram was probably designed, that of exhibiting Aristotle's solution to the bargaining problem.

In this literature, there has been no attempt to trace the development of economic thought on the relationship between budgetary institutions and fiscal discipline. This may be because debt accumulation in peacetime is seen as a late twentieth-century phenomenon. As a result, Edmund Burke's contribution, in his speech 'On Economical Reform', seems to have been forgotten. This paper highlights Burke's contribution and identifies the extent to which it captures those features of budgetary institutions that are currently recognized as facilitating budgetary discipline.

Keynes opposes this remedy. Therefore, in The General Theory, he aims at building a model in which a fall in money wages may not cause an increase in employment. Most of the interpretations of Keynes identified this aim, but did not attach enough importance to it. Reading The General Theory in the light of this aim, we discover what Keynes' logic of elaboration is, then what Keynes' ideas about voluntary or involuntary unemployment are.

The report is based on archive material from various sources, including the unpublished papers of Edwin Cannan, Piero Sraffa, Jacob H. Hollander, John Maynard Keynes, and Jacob Viner, and the archive of the Royal Economic Society. The archive material consulted by us shows that, put mildly, Jacob H. Hollander did not promote Sraffa's editorial project: he held back material which he had received from Frank Ricardo and did not disclose to Sraffa that he owned several important letters which he had privately purchased. Moreover, Sraffa was refused access to Ricardiana even after he had traced them down in laborious detective work to be in Hollander's possession. Hollander's unwillingness to cooperate with Sraffa considerably delayed the publication of the Ricardo edition.

We also focus on the role played, within classical economics, by institutional factors such as the structure of property rights and contractual arrangements in determining consumption patterns and investment in agriculture. In particular, we show that Ricardo's and Malthus' different views on the role of consumption expenditure in promoting growth depend on Ricardo's acceptance (Malthus' refusal) of Say's law of markets and on Ricardo's exclusion (Malthus' inclusion) of a non-commodity option such as leisure from (in) the range of available consumption alternatives.

The paper analyses the divergences between them, as well as their common features. The main divergence is the way in which the two see the interaction between man and nature. We show that their divergence of views, and the specific difference in perception of the two thinkers regarding the place of children in the family over time, is related to the alternate ways of modelling demographic transition today. We analyse the debate between these two lines of reasoning by means of a formal model that differentiate between the two views.

It also brings out Marx's conception of technical progress and establishes his view of the essential interdependence among the development of the forces of production, the process of capital accumulation and the expansion of markets; it further brings out the role of competition as a fundamental driving force in the interrelated processes of accumulation and of development of the social productivity of labour.

In their approach division of labour is the main engine of growth and plays a central role in capital accumulation and technological progress. We suggest that, according to their theory: 1) economic growth is endogenous; 2) it has the nature of a cumulative, path-dependent process; and 3) it can be described as a disequilibrium process, supported by competitive forces. We argue that these aspects make the contributions of Smith, Marshall and Young still insightful for the development of growth theory, even in the light of the modern approach of endogenous growth theory.

Whether in the form of constant or of average normal utilization, this assumption contradicts the supposed autonomy of aggregate demand. Analysis of the operation of the adjustment of capacity to demand suggests that potentially offsetting forces make fully adjusted positions irrelevant. As quantities cannot be assumed to gravitate towards such positions, the relations between quantity variables determined on the normal utilization hypothesis provide a poor guide to the analysis of reality.

This attitude was coherent with an economy mainly closed and static, based on agriculture and on slave work. But also it greatly contributed to restrain economic development in ancient societies. Ancient economic thought had an enormous influence on early modern thought. The latter borrowed its hostility from enrichment, which contradicted the real tendency of the new society. Thus, from the beginning, modern economy could not enjoy the support of a high economic theory. It could not legitimate enrichment and the increase in consumption.

In the light of such context, the way Emile Durkheim and Francois Simiand interpreted the contribution of the German historical school is worth considering. Following Durkheim's sociological approach, Simiand occupies center stage when it comes to examining how much this historical method has to offer to 'positive political economy' considered as an alternative to 'orthodox political economy' and to the new conception of economic history which was finding its way through the Annales' school.

On the basis of a critical realist conception of the nature of historical theory it is argued that Schumpeter's aims are at odds with his analytical strategy: his implicit ontology cannot be reconciled with his conception of theory. An illustration is provided as to how this mismatch is reproduced in Schumpeter's substantive attempts to integrate theory and history, and brief reflections are offered as to why this mismatch arose and endured.

Ugo Broggi, however, posed both issues in 1923 and 1919, respectively, and even hinted at modern ways of solving them. He was an outstanding mathematician, a former disciple of David Hilbert and collaborator with the Giornale degli Economisti. Broggi's achievements are also linked to a critical reading of Osorio's treatise on Paretian economics.

A note on Blaug Abstract: The paper focuses on Blaug's distinction between rational and historical reconstruction within the historiography of economics. Blaug's distinction is shown to be sterile and misleading and his definitions of no avail to clear thinking. Historical reconstruction (as defined by Blaug) is en empty box for reasons which are basically theoretical and not simply practical (as Blaug seems to hold). Moreover, Blaug's primary polemical target is Whig historiography and not rational reconstruction: the two concepts coincide only by means of an ad hoc definition. Blaug's criticism does not apply to other uses of the concept of rational reconstruction such as that proposed by Lakatos.

He establishes a causal relation between the functioning of the human mind and the history of societies. First, the understanding of humankind is not disordered: society develops, stages follow one another. But the commercial stage leads societies to divide into classes, the landowners are interested only in frivolous, luxurious objects: they have become denatured. Their behaviour entails society in a long phase of decline. However, this course is not inevitable. Condillac wishes to reform the individual in order to modify society and he proposes economic safeguards capable of reducing disparities. Life is simple, but history is not halted.

Smith borrows Quesnay's theory of production but deeply transforms it into a distinction between productive and unproductive labour. In any case, it seems quite natural to relate the increase of the wealth of a nation to the relative importance of productive activities vis-a-vis unproductive ones. Quesnay and Smith both share this view. However, if Smith is perfectly right in doing so, Quesnay has failed to prove a definite relation between the fraction of the revenue spent with respect to the productive sector, on the one hand, and the level or growth of the revenue, on the other. Differences in political philosophy may account for this unequal analytical performance.

This paper highlights Thornton's criticisms of Adam Smith along with the importance that Thornton attached to the lender of last resort role of the Bank of England. It suggests that there are three Mr. Thorntons who appear in Paper Credit. The first is the concerned anti-inflationist of the first section. The second is the worried anti-inflationist of the second section of the book. Besides these, there may be a third Mr. Thornton. This persona was that of the practical banker who understood the new emerging financial architecture that had resulted in paper credit supplanting metallic money. Thornton understood this new transformation of the monetary system. It is conjectured that the existence of the usury laws, inter alia, may have prevented Thornton from fully investigating the possibility of the UK moving to a specie-less system.

According to this latter interpretation, Veblen would consider institutional change as stemming from an exogenous transformation of the material and technical environment. But such a thesis disregards the significance of cultural determinism in Veblen's system. Taking this into account leads to argue that Veblen analyses institutional change as an emergent effect of the dynamics of interactions between instincts, institutions and the infrastructural conditions. Finally, Veblen's theory of institutional change proves consistent with his research programme, aiming at producing a cumulative and on-teleological theory of institutional evolution, a theory in which behavioural determinants of human beings would be the main explicative variables.

This perspective, which is different from both standard partial equilibrium and general equilibrium analysis, was developed mainly by two Italian authors, Maffeo Pantaleoni (1857-1924) and Marco Fanno (1878-1964). This paper is aimed at showing that this 'interrelated prices' literature has some points of contact with Piero Sraffa's critique of partial equilibrium analysis. It is argued that Sraffa places the case of a Marshallian decreasing returns industry in a context (rivalry for the use of a common factor in fixed supply) which was familiar to Pantaleoni-Fanno: both maintain that the markets involved are interdependent, even though they evaluate differently the possibility of a sensible equilibrium analysis.

It shows that Quesnay invented the Tableau to formalize visually his economic theory, and that he used different versions of the Tableau ('Zigzag', 'Precis' and 'Formule') for reasons of visual rhetorics. Accordingly, the visual history of the Tableau clarifies several problems identified by previous 'ecommentors'. The paper concludes that the history of the Tableau as an image cannot be equated with that of Quesnay's abstract economic model without missing the Tableau Economique's raison d'etre.

Why? This paper presents two versions of the gains from trade notion that have come to us in visual form, one due to Marshall, the other to Viner and Samuelson. The two are very different, a fact better understood against a backdrop of recent neurological research on visualization. A key finding of that work is that our ability to conceive and recognize forms depends on forms previously seen and stored in the brain. Early exposure and nurturing matter greatly. The research also stresses that there is no basis for distinguishing between seeing and understanding. A satisfactory answer to the 'Why?' question thus requires that we attend to audiences and their capabilities, some hints concerning which are offered here.

Lorenz suggested a simple method of measuring the concentration of wealth, based on the visual representation of income distribution. The Lorenz curve is now very popular and can be considered as canonical. However, the path leading from Lorenz's original work to contemporary interpretations of his graph has been anything but simple. We thus propose to trace the origin, the evolution and the various subsequent interpretations of the Lorenz graph. We argue that the original Lorenz curve has been shifted in epistemological status as well as inverted in graphic appearance.

This article analyses Carl Menger's monetary theory and evaluates whether he was aware of the network characteristic of money from a retrospective angle. The result is mixed. Menger is one of the first to discuss the marketability and liquidity of an asset, which in German he denotes Absatzfahigkeit. This concept has a strong connection with the network aspect of a commodity. However, he is not distinct enough in his analysis and there is a lack of depth in his understanding.

An in-depth analysis of their theories of human nature and market society will show that Rousseau is further from Mandeville's analysis than Smith acknowledged, and it is Smith who will in fact take important elements from Mandeville to build his own theoretical system and, thereby, follow the path of economic analysis beyond moral considerations.

In that work, Hegel incorporates economics within a systematic theory of the nation-state. Hegel argues that both capitalism and nationalism are the products of the state, which emancipates human capacities by founding and securing individual rights. Capitalism, however, is an inherently self contradictory social phenomenon to which Hegel responds in a sophisticated manner, one eschewing those economic ideologies which subsequently dominated modern economic thought. Moreover, his response differs fundamentally from other supposed defenders of economic nationalism. Unlike the rationalist Fichte, that other great German defender of a national economics, Hegel paves the way to a scientific understanding of the relationship between the modern economy and the nation-state, in other words, a theory of economic nationalism.

We propose an interpretation of Menger's learning by imitation process based on the search theoretical formal framework. We show that there exists a tension between the importance of intrinsic properties of commodities and the pure conventional self-fulfilling expectations of agents. This confirms the role of imitation in the emergence of monetary equilibria in search theory. We conclude that Menger's approach may support the idea that the fundamental property of a commodity-money (namely its great liquidity) is the result of its emergence process and not necessarily of its original intrinsic properties.

The first one is based on the epistemological proposal which we have named the principle of discontinuity. It asserts that certain developments in the history of economic thought involve theoretical breaks which can only be fully explained by making use of the concept of discontinuity. The second hypothesis concerns one of the consequences drawn from the principle of discontinuity, namely, the untranslatability of concepts. Besides other theories to which reference is made by way of examples of specific conclusions regarding the principle of discontinuity, the conceptual structures of Marshall's and Keynes' conceptions of the determinants of investment are analysed and compared with the aim of illustrating the aforementioned hypotheses.

The most important period was the late nineteenth century when, after a couple of decades during which both economists and historians took an interest in the history of economic ideas, both disciplines stabilized in ways that left no room for it. Despite the emergence of the history of economic thought as a recognizable field within economics, it was progressively marginalized within the broader profession.

'[D]esires which arise from the comparison of our condition with that of others', and desire for novel items of consumption are central elements in Johnson's thought. Advertising, sales of complementary goods, and the activity of collecting, provide examples and special cases. Johnson was aware of some key aspects of the concept of a positional good. 'Owning a private island' is identified as an important example of a positional good for Johnson.

Abstract: Industry and Trade and the works on industrial economics by the Cambridge school - Chapman, Macgregor, Robertson, Lavington, A. Robinson and Florence - are usually neglected as if they were devoid of theoretical relevance. By contrast, the author argues that Marshall's evolutionary model, centred on the continuous interplay between innovation and standardization, inspired original research on localization, business size, coordination costs and industrial combinations. The paper also suggests that Marshallian ideas on the growth of firms and the structure of industrial organization are coming back in contemporary evolutionary theories of the firm.

To substantiate this claim the works of various pre-revolutionary Russian economists are surveyed as short case studies, including that of I.K. Babst, A.I. Chuprov, I.Kh. Ozerov and D.I. Mendeleev. Moreover various common themes are identified in their work and also in comparison with the work of established historical economists such as Roscher and Schmoller. The Bolshevik revolution in 1917 is then conceived as a point of rupture in the natural evolution of Russian economic theory.

After developing through three phases ('from the unemployable to the unemployed', 'from the unemployed to unemployment', and 'perfection of the labour market'), Beveridge finally accomplished a coherent package of remedies for unemployment: labour exchanges with National Insurance on the basis of the living wage principle (previously unexplored but evident through his work). These three concepts, perfectly blended, formed his original and unique standpoint. By analysing this development of ideas, we can position Beveridge's doctrine of unemployment more appropriately in the history of economic thought.

Recently, new evidence has been found on Ricardo's stay in Amsterdam in the years 1783 - 85. This evidence throws new light on Ricardo's relationship with his uncle Moses in Amsterdam. It is shown that his formal education was poor, but that his informal education may have been rich.

Humean utility as a positive principle Abstract: Whereas in philosophy David Hume was long regarded as a negative thinker to be criticized rather than read, many thinkers interested in social and economic theory from Adam Smith onwards found key concepts, distinctions and problems as developed by Hume useful and inspiring. This applies not only to his seminal contributions to technical problems in economics. It is argued that the way in which Hume employed 'utility as a positive principle' (most notably in his 'experimental' moral theory) is of pivotal importance in this context. It allows for: distinguishing between internal motifs and external circumstances and constraints; and for making explicit the abstract logic of social interaction structures, mechanisms and processes. Both are necessary conditions for employing the logic of social situations and mechanisms in the explanation of social institutions and economic processes. It moreover prepares the ground for the use of simplified or cartoon-like models of individual agency in economic and social theory, but also for its critique. On this basis, Hume's influence on various strands of social and economic thought, but also the specific differences with regard to more 'rationalistic' approaches (such as Hobbesianism or important versions of neoclassical economics) can be assessed more clearly.

It discusses first the origins of the myth of Ricardo's dependence from Bentham through Mill, and Halevy's contribution to the freezing of such a myth. The paper reconstructs what were their shared political commitments and activities and the kind of specific political views and agenda that may be ascribed to Ricardo himself. The paper then discusses the question of Ricardo's adhesion to Benthamite ethics. It examines fragments in Ricardo's correspondence with Maria Edgeworth and Francis Place, and adds fresh light on the issue by highlighting the partial overlapping between Bentham's ethics and the kind of intuitionism with theological consequentialism that Ricardo had learned from the Unitarian minister, Thomas Belsham.

The economics of Bentham's Panopticon Abstract: The paper analyses Bentham's theory of the economic management of the Panopticon prison he projected in 1786 and which was approved by the British Parliament in 1794, but never constructed. Its focus is on the economic arguments employed to justify the principles of management, most of which amount to the modern economic notions of market policies and principal-agent relationships. Bentham's way of conceiving these notions can be summarized in the problem of the junction of interest and duty. This paper shows that many modern notions concerning the economics of organizations and public economics are clearly foreshadowed, and sometimes even explicitly formulated, in Bentham's writings on prison management. Bentham was conscious of the important economic dimension of the Panopticon scheme and was persuaded, albeit illusorily, that an accurate economic theory of its management could favour its approval. Well before Charles Babbage's On the Economy of Machinery and Manufactures (1832), he went into a detailed theoretical analysis of the requirements and dilemmas of a complex economic organization oriented towards the joint fulfilment of the goals of a variety of stakeholders: taxpayers, the government, contract managers, keepers, taskmasters, subcontractors and prisoners. He also recognized that some institutional limits must be opposed to profit-oriented management in order to preserve the life, health and mental equilibrium of subordinates.

In particular, the author shows that from Malthus to Pigou this economic tradition paid special attention to non-economic domains important for human happiness and that are affected by market choices. Marshall is seen as the bridge between the classical reflection on happiness in the eighteenth century and the recent debates on the 'paradoxes of happiness', an issue that is becoming more and more important, not only in moral philosophy, but also in economics.

It examines challenges to the utilitarian impartial weighting scheme that emerged in the literary community, and from evolutionary biology. As sympathy came to be seen as an impediment to evolutionary perfection, voices urged that sympathy be suppressed. Darwin's Descent of Man explicitly countenanced the suppression of sympathy in a trade-off of happiness for the perfection of the race. A post-Darwinian argument concerning a different capacity for pleasure accompanied the demise of sympathy in utilitarian economic analysis. Utilitarians then moved from the early presumption of 'everyone to count for one' to counting 'every equal increment of pleasure' equally.

The 'economic' virtues of >emph type="2">De Officiis>/emph> I, 22 in some sixteenth century commentaries Abstract: The article concentrates on some commentaries on Cicero's passage of De Officiis I: 22. Extolling the solidarity of human society, Cicero stresses its utilitarian aspects, illustrating the common bond of mutual advantage provided by collaboration and exchange of goods and services. The Italian commentators, especially Pietro Marso, give special emphasis to an economic interpretation of this passage, in the light of some Aristotelian concepts about money and exchange. According to whether utilities or benefits are concerned, a double interpretation of exchange emerges, connected with the concept of distributive justice which applies both to beneficence/charity and to the allocation of privileges.

The theory of internal goods investigates the connections between cultural and economic development. It clearly reflects the question of how Russia could overcome her economic and cultural backwardness compared to Western Europe. Although the representatives of the concept have failed to keep their promise to deliver an economic theory of civilization, they raised questions that to the present day have lost none of their actuality.

Around 1872, when the static method proved problematic with regard to long-term wage differentials, Marshall took his developing position concerning education and incorporated it into his emerging vision of political economy, the result being the germ of much of Book IV of the Principles. In addition, looking at Marshall's early study of psychology in conjunction with his writings on education provides further reason to doubt that Marshall ever embraced a wholly materialist philosophy.

Abstract: German Ferdinand Tonnies (1855 - 1936) and American Thorstein Veblen (1857 - 1929) are influential figures in the history of the social sciences, whose intellectual relationship has been ignored. However, there are important and illuminating similarities and differences in their critiques of Karl Marx (1818 - 83), as well as in the transition from community to modernity in Western culture and society. This article begins with their account of the nature of the Western community in the Middle Ages and its passage to modernity via the Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution. It culminates with their critiques of Marx and his and their mutual efforts to construct an ersatz community to replace the one that was lost.

Abstract: Heckscher's 1919 article originated the Heckscher-Ohlin theory of international trade. In 1987 Carl Uhr pointed out that Heckscher in 1928 made another major contribution to economics in a German-language article on 'intermittently free goods', presenting 'a theory of imperfect competition nine years ahead of that by Joan Robinson and Edward Chamberlin, and a discussion of collective goods not priced by the market'. This paper summarizes the salient ideas of Heckscher's article. It evaluates its merits, originality and significance for the history of economic thought, and how it fits into the 'revolutionary' developments of the theory of imperfect competition in the 1930s.

It therefore is a natural and intriguing question, how Petty came to develop his seminal formulations of surplus. Our argument is that the concept took form in his thought as a result of stimulus provided by Petty's involvement in the agricultural technology programme of Samuel Hartlib and his 'Circle'.

Although tempting, the solution to this puzzle does not lie in the Austrians' misperception of the monetary facts but in their specific theory of deflation. Thereby they distinguished between 'automatic deflation' (as an endogenous response of the market system) and 'deflationary policies' (as exogenous disturbances). Thus, they were able to identify inflationist policies amidst an automatically shrinking money supply.

The reading of Patinkin's unpublished PhD thesis and the use of the Don Patinkin Papers from Duke University's archives shed new light on this key episode in the formation of the 'neoclassical synthesis'. Using this material, we show that Patinkin changes his mind on this topic and that his incorporation of the real balance effect into the Keynesian apparatus is, paradoxically, an attempt at reinforcing it.

This was made possible by the fellowships granted by the Commission for Relief in Belgium, a legacy of the First World War. After a stay in the US of a few years, most returned to Belgium. However, they maintained strong links with the US. Also, they tried to recreate in Belgium the most valuable elements of their American experience. It would lead to a strong and early Americanization of Belgian economics. Moreover, they were at the forefront of several initiatives to organize economics on a European scale, such as the European Economic Review and the European Economic Association.

However, according to some modern commentators, Hume does not seem to have given any evidence that would favour what nowadays we would consider as the kind of rationality involved in modern theories of rational choice. On the contrary, this paper arrives at the conclusion that consistency between preferences and choice, like the usual properties of completeness and transitivity, may be considered as outcomes of a mental process, described by means of a decision algorithm that aims to represent Hume's theory of choice.

An individual's behaviour is non-rational if his/her choices systematically contravene the consistency axioms of the theory, and if the causal explanation of those choices cannot credibly be offered as a reason for making them. Hume proposes a theory of causal relationships between mental states, based on associations of ideas. The relationships he postulates are liable to induce various forms of non-rational behaviour, some of which have since been observed in controlled experiments.

Sugden's criticism of our interpretation, it is shown in this paper that rationality appears as a possible consequence of Hume's theory of choice. We first argue that Sugden's dismissal of the preference relation from the type of rationality through which Hume's theory is apprehended, is highly disputable, from the point of view of both standard choice theory and Hume's theory of passions. Nonetheless, Sugden's criterion of rationality might be restated in Humean terms as a condition of non-revision of preferences in the dynamics of passions. But, since the process of choice that we have described explicitly takes into account the revision of preferences, and shows that, when this last is no longer required, rationality occurs as an outcome of this process, it is not really concerned by Sugden's criticism.

By considering elements of Leviathan, which have been scrutinised inter alia by Gauthier, Hampton and Kavka, I argue that the approach capture Hobbes' notion of obligation insufficiently. I search for a concept of rationality in Hobbes' work that goes beyond that of game theory and find one in his distinction between science and prudence. If one attends to this distinction, one is forced to consider the significance of religion for Hobbes' conception of rationality. This, in turn, forces one to examine the status of Hobbes' 'self-preservation' postulate.

Lionel Robbins and Dennis H. Robertson on the nature and determinants of the supply of labour Abstract: This paper compares two articles by Lionel Robbins (1930) and by Dennis H. Robertson (1921) on the topic of labour supply. Robertson's article is shown to anticipate the main results of Robbins's seminal article. Yet, Robertson covers a number of other issues (e.g. constraints on hours worked and the impact of non-pecuniary factors) that are neglected by Robbins. Robertson's article is used to illustrate important gaps and omissions in the economics literature on labour supply that have occurred through the acceptance of some of the arguments contained in Robbins's article.

In particular, thirty academic economists became MPs between 1860 and 1923. Many of them became ministers and three of them were appointed prime ministers. The quantitative analysis attempted in this paper reveals the professional and social characteristics of this group of economists and the importance of their political commitment. Many of them sat in parliament for more than twenty years. In both houses, they often played a technical role, concentrating their efforts in the discussion of the economic issues on the agenda. But they did not refrain from becoming involved with questions of a more direct political nature. The high number of economists who were elected deputies even after the Reform Bills of 1882 and 1911 - which gradually extended the suffrage - implies that they took part in open political contests and built up a network of patronage in their local constituencies. In particular, some indicators - like their presence in the ministries and councils of education and the role they played in the creation of institutions of research - show that they exerted their political influence to facilitate the institutionalization and professionalization of economics. Last, some interesting generational differences are highlighted in this paper. In the period between 1861 and 1922, the relationship between political and scientific/academic reputation was inverted. Whereas the economists of the Risorgimento generation employed their political role as a means to obtain tenure in universities, those of the younger generation trained after 1876, who had received a more specialized education in economics, profited by their reputation as scientists and professors in order to foster their political ambitions.

We have chosen to confine our research to the period between Piero Sraffa's first sojourn abroad as a young economist and the Second World War.

It argues that Sraffa transformed his dissent  -  which was based on ideological grounds  -  into a 'quest for the fatal error' to demolish the logical construction of Marshallian theory. Some of his attacks were successful (for example, the critique of the relation between costs and output); other attempts failed (the critique of the 'normal rate of profit' and the critique of the concept of marginal productivity) since Sraffa could not find enough textual evidence to support his position.

It presents a detailed examination of the various posts held by Sraffa at the University as Lecturer, Assistant Director of Research, Member of the Degree Committee, Examiner, Member of the Faculty Board, as co-founder of The Department of Applied Economics, Elector to the Chairs of Political Economy, Industrial Relations and Economics, Member of King's College and finally as Fellow of Trinity College. Moreover, the relationship with his fellow economists in Cambridge, in particular Keynes, Kahn, Kaldor and Joan Robinson is also examined and assessed. The broad conclusion of the paper is that Sraffa's relationship with Cambridge University was complex, contradictory and intense, and should be seen within the broader context of the ambiguous relations Sraffa had with academia in general.

From his previous acceptance of Marshall's apparatus of demand and supply once purged of the subjective elements of utility and 'efforts and sacrifices', Sraffa moved on to a theory of relative prices and distribution based on what he then called 'physical real costs' (in opposition to Marshall's subjective 'real costs') and to the consequent conception of a 'surplus product' providing for profits and rent. It is the theory which Sraffa recognized then to be that of Smith and Ricardo and the 'old classical economists', beyond the Marshallian interpretation of those authors he had previously shared, in terms of constant returns and, therefore, of the demand and supply apparatus. That is the interpretation that will emerge twenty years later in the Introduction to Ricardo's Principles (1951), just as that is essentially the theory we shall find in Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities thirty years later.

Whilst with circulating capital the value transfer to the product and the physical 'destruction' of the input are one and the same thing, with fixed capital this is not so. Sraffa eventually overcame the difficulty in terms of the joint products-method. This allowed him to explain relative prices and the rate of profits strictly in 'material terms'.

His analysis of single product systems has turned out essentially to be flawless, but the problems of joint production cannot simply be solved on the basis of analogies with single production. A truncation approach and a dynamic approach are discussed in order to summarise his main results, to illustrate his method and to take stock of the recent developments of the theory.

Other scholars have already investigated his influence on econometrics and empirical economics (Morgan 1990, Stigler 1999), but we argue that his influence on theoretical economics should be considered significant as well. We devote attention to Quetelet's concept of the 'average man'. For this purpose we briefly summarize Quetelet's methodology and examine the evolution of his ideas as expressed in his published works. We then investigate his influence on Jevons's 'calculus of pleasures and pains' and on the statistical investigations of the German historical school. We argue that the history of statistics, and especially Quetelet's contribution, should not be neglected by historians of economic thought as it provides important insights into the development of economic methodology.

Jevons' Theory of Political Economy Abstract: In the Preface to the second edition of his Theory of Political Economy (1879), W. Stanley Jevons announced an extraordinary turn in his analysis as he abandoned much of the explanatory framework used in the body of the text to explain cost of production and distribution. It is shown here that, when the Theory is read in the context of the objective and structure of Jevons' distribution analysis, the turn can be explained as Jevons' response to the realization that he was only able to reconcile his analysis of cost of production and of distribution in a special case.

The letters are important for emphasizing the need for fiscal studies to consider equilibrium, particularly social equilibrium, at a time when Italian fiscal sociology was in its formative stage. Griziotti came to accept fiscal sociology, albeit in an eclectic form that focused directly on political and legislative matters rather than social equilibrium. In contrast, Sensini progressively developed a framework for fiscal theory that focused primarily on the fundamental relationship between fiscal phenomena and social equilibrium.

His main contribution rests in his asking an array of important questions and arguing persuasively for the application of empirical, and especially statistical, techniques to the answering of those questions. He asks whether and how science progresses; whether a scientist's biography is important in understanding his science; what characteristics of a scientist are most complementary to success in science; and how the professionalization of science redirects the attention of scientists more toward internal puzzle-solving, and less toward applied relevance.

French sensationist political economy and the shaping of public economics Abstract: This paper examines some ideas developed in the field of public economics by French Sensationist political economists, from Turgot and Condorcet to the young Jean-Baptiste Say. An ideal-typical account of their position is based on the fact that issues raised by public expenditure and revenue are not dealt with independently. Instead, a strong link between the two sides of the budget is emphasized, an approach arising out of political considerations concerning human rights and equity. Following on from this they develop a theory of public expenditure based on public goods - national and local - and externalities, and a theory of taxation culminating in a justification of progressive taxation. The central section of the paper forms a kind of pivotal point in the analysis, showing how the above political and ethical requirements of the theory lead to the first estimation of the optimal amount of public expenditure and revenue - involving an equilibrium at the margin.

Hermann's Staatswirthschaftliche Untersuchungen and of major German, Austrian and Swedish contributions to public economics, two specific claims with regard to the Germanic influence in the development of public expenditure theory are put forward in this paper. It is contended that the German achievements concerning the conceptual clarification of public goods are: (i) important as conceptual ingredients of the modern 'micro-based' theory of the public sector: (ii) less closely linked to some historical and intellectual German Sonderweg (culminating in historism, a collectivistic view of social entities and a mystical glorification of the State) than is often suggested. It is argued that these achievements rather were to a large extent inspired by the more cosmopolitan tendencies in German thought. An important influence is Kantian liberalism. Kant construed a kind of foundational interdependence between the public and the private sector. This prepares the ground for a framework of complementary institutions instead of explaining public institutions in terms of a market failure-perspective based on non-excludability: the view developed in German Idealism gives non-rivalry the pivotal role: the explanation of public institutions systematically hinges upon the existence of goods, the benefits of which are necessarily universal and hence are necessarily made available in a non-rival mode.

The financial activity of the State is justified by the existence of collective or public needs to whose satisfaction collective or public goods and services are linked. Italian economists have studied the problems of public goods in a general context, taking into consideration concurrently both taxes and public expenditure and giving prominence to positive analysis. Italian theorists have always been far removed from the classical approach, which denies the productivity of public services, and have deemed it necessary to take into account the political context in which fiscal structures operate. Their models include the State as a major factor. Herein lies the main value of the Italian tradition in public finance, which puts in coercion into the market mechanism via State intervention.

But probably the most important (and neglected) contribution lies in the domain of anthropology, i.e. in the explanation of human nature and human behaviour. In this paper the authors are going to work out two scholastic ideas that provide an alternative to the individualist and utilitarian approach of neoclassical economics. (1) Persons are morally ruled beings; a sense of 'duty' is a key element in their behaviour; (2) Persons are social beings competing and cooperating to achieve certain goals. Dominant positions and privileged information grant them special powers that should not be abused.

This is true for Marx's theory of value, his rejection of Ricardo's interpretation of Say's Law, his treatment of the realization problem in the schemes of reproduction and his theories of credit and the rate of interest. The implications of this monetary interpretation for Marx's theory of distribution and growth display broad similarities to a monetary extension of a Kaleckian version of the post-Keynesian model, in which the equilibrium growth path is determined by the interaction between monetary and real variables.

Abstract: Controversy focuses on three questions: Is capital a distinct factor of production? Is capital quantifiable in a theoretically consistent manner? Are process stories necessary around convergence to, or changes in, equilibrium interest rates? To all, Kaldor answers 'yes' to Knight's 'no'. The controversy is historically important in: 1) shifting issues in recurring twentieth century capital theory controversies from periods of production to production functions, from roundaboutness to diminishing returns; 2) revealing Knight's position on increasing knowledge offsetting diminishing returns over time as an unacknowledged 'precursor' of new growth theory; 3) marking the turning point for Kaldor's attachment to Austrian theory.

The true author of the postscript was probably Jean-Baptiste Francois de la Michodiere (1720 - 97), Messance's mentor and employer. The calculations given in this paper offer tempered support for what is dubbed 'La Michodiere's law'. There was indeed a correlation between prices and mortality in early eighteenth-century France; but La Michodiere's own and other data imply that even then it was weaker and less mechanical than implied by some of his successors.

In the late nineteenth century there was no more ardent champion of this view of what economics should become than Leon Walras. His own writings, though, betray a tension between comprehending this mathematization as proceeding in parallel with physics or through a metaphorical analogy with physics. The limitations in Walras' ability to axiomatize economics reveal a flawed effort to establish the foundations of economics by analogy; this difficulty has persisted through the twentieth century.

This requires banks to first state an explicit inflation target and then promise to perform a set of actions whenever an independent forecast departs from target. Making such actions explicit and observable makes the promise of price stability offered by competing banks operational and enforceable. Competition among banks then leads to convergence on current best practice in the short term and to faster performance evolution as the incentive to innovate induces improvements over the long term.

Second, he rejected Keynes's liquidity preference and maintained that only in an 'extreme case' might it be said that Keynes's theory of the rate of interest is valid.

To make my point, I will ponder on the meaning and implications of the week device, assess the validity of Hicks' claim that slow adjustment can cause market rationing, examine his claim that the possibility of market clearing depends on the prevailing market form and, finally, assess his twofold filiations towards Marshall and Walras.

Their emergence constitutes a challenging issue for scholars devoted to the history of financial economics, as well as to fundamental tools of economic analysis. Their history is analysed in a comparative perspective, starting with the neglected contribution of Duvillard as a reference case. More than two centuries ago, this French language scholar developed, by an optimizing analytical machinery, a financial measure technically similar to Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR). In order to assess his theoretical contribution in a comparative perspective, the author will try to briefly account for the different contexts where the financial measure has been invented twice. This approach, indeed, is concerned with the institutional changes and the theoretical developments they fostered. It analyses concepts such as time preference, techniques such as discounting and issues such as the 'reinvestment problem'. On the one hand, the Past (especially around the eighteenth century) and Duvillard's contribution is explored. On the other hand, the Present is reconstructed (in particular the late Fifties and later), especially the recent debate that re-invented the MIRR. This article will conclude with some comparative results.

Within this tradition, research on Dupuit mostly was focused on his publications on surplus theory, road tolls and discriminating monopoly. His participation in the debates about other issues taking place within the various learned societies to which he belonged (Societe d'economie politique de Paris, Societe d'economie sociale, Societe de statistique de Paris) long remained unexplored. But recent research has begun filling the gap. This paper follows on these latter research efforts. It aims at uncovering a largely unknown facet of Dupuit, endeavouring to fully elicit his role in the various controversies that took place in France between 1850 and 1866 on the issues of population and the Malthusian principle of population.

A relevant strand of this approach is characterized by the departure from the usual assumption of diminishing returns of capital or, more generally, of the accumulated factor. This paper will show how the neoclassical theorists incorporated the idea of increasing return in the formal models of economic growth. The central point is that the recent recognition of the importance of this notion is not new but now depends on the vision of economic growth as driven by knowledge accumulation and no longer by capital accumulation as in the Solovian tradition.

Going nowhere rather slowly? Abstract: The paper argues that economics is not a perfect selection mechanism that preserves each and every economic idea that is valid and useful and jettisons all ideas that are not. The teleological view of the subject cannot be sustained. Therefore the task of the history of economic thought cannot be limited to the study of the past from the present state of economics. Another important task is to study the present state of economics from the standpoint of past authors in order to see what has been gained and what lost in the course of time. The history of the subject is a treasure trove of ideas. The history of economic thought may play a useful role by preserving valuable ideas which otherwise would fall into oblivion. To foster the subject is therefore also in the interest of general economists.

It is widely accepted that this example comes from Diderot's Encyclopaedia, published in France in the 18th century. The details in the text together with the conferences previously given in Glasgow clearly show that this one reference cannot be the only source. Three other French publications on pin making may also have been used as references for Adam Smith's text. Phrase by phrase these texts are compared to Smith's to support the assertion that he based his work on four previous French publications. The Wealth of Nations unites and synthesizes these different sources and excerpts those parts that confirm his theory. Smith should have listed his sources.

Hayek and Walter Eucken play an important role in the discussion of an adequate theory of economic and social order. It is noteworthy that at the beginning of their academic careers, these three economists dealt primarily with questions of business cycle theory. As we will show, this is not coincidental, but can be explained by economic history and the history of theory. Furthermore, all three economists agree that establishing a comprehensive social order would provide the basis for economic stability, although each postulates a different relationship between liberty and order.

Wade Author-X-Name-Last: Hands Title: Frank Knight and pragmatism Abstract: One of many controversies surrounding the work of Frank Knight involves the question of whether, or to what degree, his ideas were consistent with those of American pragmatism. Substantive textual evidence can be found to support almost any simple answer to the question. This paper argues that while Knight was quite (often aggressively) opposed to a particular set of pragmatic ideas alive in the scholarly and social debates of his day, this fact says more about Knight's historical context than it does about the broader relationship between his philosophical position and pragmatism. Knight was opposed to the social control pragmatism of his day, but at the same time his general philosophical position has much in common with the features of the pragmatic tradition that are most emphasized in the recent philosophical literature.

It is conjectured that Massie wrote this manuscript to present pithily the outline of a book 'The Elements of Commerce' that he proposed to write. This book was to be used for educating students in what would have been Britain's first business school. The British Government turned down Massie's proposal for this business school. However, the manuscript 'The Elements of Commerce Delineated in Aphorisms' outlines the skeletal outline of part of the course that Massie would have liked to present. It shows Massie making significant contributions to economics in the areas of price theory, tax incidence and the role of money and the rate of interest.

This is done by considering his criticism of the causal link between deficits, the exchange rate and the price of gold. The paper first emphasizes Thornton's analysis of the links between gold points, bank risk and the high price of bullion. It is then shown how far Ricardo is led astray in his criticism of Thornton and his explanation of the high price of bullion and of the exchange market.

Although in the literature Marshall's evaluation of scientific management has been considered rather positive, the author has found it sceptical and definitively critical in many passages of his book. This paper deals with Marshall's analysis in order to underline the reasons why he criticizes Taylor's system, which, at that time, sounded like the greatest expression of modernity.

Edgeworth. It is argued that he pursued a unitary philosophical project: the search for a common epistemological foundation for the social sciences. Their common root is the idea of 'hereditary experience' derived from Herbert Spencer's work. This idea justified Edgeworth's adoption of the notion of the man as a 'pleasure machine', which was necessary to solve the maximization problems in ethics and economics; and the enlargement of the frequentist definition of probability, necessary for the development of his statistical theory.

It aims to show that before the General Theory Kalecki developed a mathematical model capable of expressing both the main conclusions of the neoclassical theory - Kalecki's Systems I and II - and the persistence of unemployment - Kalecki's System III. The present analysis stresses the relevance and the originality of Kalecki's 1934 model by comparing it to the two main variants of the IS-LM model - Hicks (1937) and Modigliani (1944) - around which the neoclassical synthesis was built. It shows that although there does indeed exist a formal proximity between Kalecki's model and those of Hicks and Modigliani, Kalecki can be considered the first to offer an original explanation of the difference between classical and Keynesian models that depends neither on liquidity preference as proposed by Hicks nor on the rigidity of money wages as proposed by Modigliani.

The article argues for the existence in Smith and Ricardo of an alternative approach to distribution and prices, and it aims at a critique of Samuelson's contention that 'Smith, Ricardo and J.S. Mill used essentially the same logical paradigm as did Walras and Arrow Debreu' (2000: 140). In the first two sections, the attempt by Arrow (1991) to detect in Ricardo a theory of prices independent of demand—and founded instead on a real wage determined separately from, though not necessarily independently of, prices and the non-wage distributive variables—is considered with its implication of the wage entering the determination of the latter as an 'intermediate datum' of the theory. This then makes it possible to outline the characteristic analysis we find in Smith and Ricardo, where the wage as 'intermediate datum' entails a similar treatment of the output levels. The resulting theoretical structure is then used in order to answer, in sections III and IV, the two basic criticism, that Samuelson has advanced against Sraffa (1960). While the claimed dependence of the (1960) prices on an assumption of constant returns is voided by the mentioned treatment of outputs as intermediate data, the relevance of the Standard commodity, as well as that of Ricardo's 'invariable measure of value' is explained by the needs of determining non-wage incomes as a difference or 'residual', the essence of the theoretical structure under consideration. Section V then deals more directly with Samuelson's denial of the existence of a classical paradigm of economic theory. His arguments and interpretations are found to be in contrast with central features of Smith and Ricardo's work and, in particular, with their theory of wages. Thus, the admission of labour unemployment in 'normal' competitive positions compels Samuelson to a highly questionable interpretation of the chapter 'On Machinery' in Ricardo's Principles. In section VI, finally, the attribution to 'Sraffian literature' of a central concern for what Samuelson sees as 'steady states', but are in fact the traditional 'normal positions' of the economy leads the article to the deficiencies of neoclassical theory—an issue inevitably underlying the debate on the Classical paradigm. The dependence of the traditional versions of the theory, based on normal positions, on the notion of capital as a single magnitude—which forced the generalized abandonment of those versions in pure theory after the early stages of the capital controversies—is argued to emerge as equally present in the contemporary reformulations of the theory, thus affecting them, it is argued, no less than it did the abandoned earlier versions.

Proofs are given that both 1750 - 1870 discrete technologies or 1890 - 2007 continuum technologies, with convexity properties sufficient for arbitrage-proof supply-demand equilibria, will be 'intertemporally Pareto optimal', immune to leaving any deadweight (inefficient) losses on the table. Sraffa (1960), ignoring the vast post-1945 linear and non-linear programming mathematical literature of Danzig, Kuhn-Tucker-Bellman, von Neumann, Ramsey literature does not quite arrive at attainable distribution solutions. Where it tolerates increasing or decreasing returns to scale, there can be no competitive equilibria. When its matrix equations do obey first-degree-homogeneous functions, the book's stress on Basics or non-Basics is an irrelevancy leading to bizarre novel interpretations of Ricardo. Old age overtakes us all. Alas, Sraffs's proposed critique of twentieth century political economy we will never be able to know.

Specifically, the links between institutionalists such as Walton Hamilton and Wesley Mitchell and British social scientists such as John A. Hobson, Henry Clay, R.A. Tawney, William Beveridge and Graham Wallas. It is argued that these connections were related to common views on the importance of institutions, compatible methodological views, common interest in questions of social value, shared policy concerns (particularly unemployment and the coal industry), shared interests in the development of new institutions for education and research in economics and shared connections with the funding activities of the Rockefeller Foundation. These connections were much more extensive than has usually been realized. Some reasons for this British group not to form into a movement similar to American institutionalism are explored.

Keynes went on working along the lines of the Tract theory until around April 1926, subsequently adopting the Transaction Approach up until September 1927. The paper stresses the importance of the three TOC between September 1927 and September 1928 as pointing the way towards the Treatise's fundamental equations - the breakthrough opening the way to the Treatise. The second fundamental equation, the TM supply function and the natural rate of interest had made their appearance by April 1930.

The history of external economies was at its crossroads in the thirties, when the Symposium on Increasing Returns took place in Cambridge. Sraffa formulated the main criticism against external economies by pointing to its lack of compatibility with perfect competition, statics and partial equilibrium. I shall try to show that the construction of parametric external economies by John Chipman (1970) is the logical outcome of the controversy on returns, opposing Sraffa to Marshall, Pigou, Shove and Robertson (1930).

Frisch was concerned about the inability of modern economies to prevent economic fluctuations from playing havoc with the livelihood of millions. After first studying and improving methods for analysing time series data, Frisch focused on the nature of a proper theoretical explanation of economic fluctuations. Thus, Frisch's interest was not so much business cycle analysis in the substantive sense, but the appropriate methods for analysing and explaining cycles. He is best known for the model he presented in his 'Propagation and Impulse' essay in the Festschrift for Gustav Cassel. Due to Frisch's incomplete publication of his work his essay may have been interpreted with too much emphasis on the content and properties of the macroeconomic model Frisch presented. His real message was to demonstrate his overall paradigm for macro analysis in economics. This article looks in more detail at Frisch's methodology and the genesis of the propagation and impulse model. The presentation is non-technical and includes some biographical details.

Although both interpreted the business cycle as an interference phenomenon between waves of different order, they disagreed on how to model its generation mechanism. Åkerman's emphasis on seasonal changes in his path-breaking application of harmonic analysis to economic fluctuations was rejected by Frisch, who instead suggested the explanation of business cycles as free oscillations determined by impulse and propagation mechanisms.

The law of divergence has been interpreted as a generalization of the acceleration principle. This paper draws upon published and archival sources to examine the sources of Chait's thinking, explain the basics of his model and assess the impact of his work. His relations with Francois Divisia and Jan Tinbergen are explored and his claim that Leontief's dynamic input - model was an unacknowledged reformulation of his own work is analysed.

These stories characterize a bazaar economy as the dark side of medieval economics. The process-view of the bazaar is discussed in relation to Smith, Walras and the Austrian School. The tacit notions of 'market price' and 'natural price' are touched upon. Auctions are then elaborated with reference to Bohm-Bawerk. Moreover, the role of asymmetric information as a recurrent theme is interpreted in relation with Akerlof's approach. Finally, the collective function of the tales in fostering confidence in a less-than-well instituted bazaar economy is emphasized.

Particular attention is paid to Thornton's examination of the inflationary effects of the gap between the Bank of England's discount rate and the current rate of profit. The paper shows that Thornton is also concerned, unlike Wicksell, about the consequences of a gap between the Bank of England's discount rate and the effective bank lending rate on the market for loanable funds, which results mainly from the usury laws. Thornton's analyses offer then a framework for regulating the value of money through adjustments to the bank rate.

We propose an analysis of the way and context in which economists refer to Darwin, mention his name and quote his writings. It then appears that Darwin is most of the time viewed as a biologist only, who never developed his own theory of social evolution. He is thus quoted as a biologist who either borrowed concepts from economists who developed a theory of social evolution, or laid the basis for biological theory of social evolution developed by others, Spencer, in particular. It is only recently that eventually the twofold dimensions—biological and social—of Darwin's general theory of evolution are considered together by bioeconomists.

Two issues are analysed in detail. First, the explanations provided by Keynes and New Keynesians of nominal and real wage behaviour. Second, the different theories concerning the ability of flexible nominal wages in assuring full employment. It is argued that, although involuntary unemployment is a central problem both in Keynes' and New Keynesians' views, referring to the role of nominal and real wages in explaining unemployment, New Keynesians theories present important features that differ, sometimes substantially, from the concepts developed by Keynes in his General Theory.

From the end of the seventeenth century, however, it was progressively replaced by political economy, which in turn developed its full influence during the nineteenth century, imposing a new 'ethos' and a new 'conduct of life'. So that we might better understand this fact, a Weberian ideal-type is proposed: philosophie economique. Illustrated by the works of Boisguilbert, Quesnay, Turgot and Say, it elaborates three main elements: interested behaviour, sensationism and a specific conception of the 'science of the legislator'.

It is shown that Hegel and Rawls have similar objectives, since they both attempt to determine the possibility condition of the reconciliation of the reasonable and the rational, of the universal and the particular. They share a similar concern, which integrates but tries to overcome the Kantian one: their works examine how political freedom can be achieved and how an empirical and implementable theory can be built.

It shows that Tooke was a strong supporter of resumption and the gold standard, but that from the beginning, his monetary thought significantly differed from that of the Bullionists. The paper shows that Tooke's explanation of price inflation and the depreciation of the paper currency as well as his assessment of the Bank of England largely supported the position of the anti-Bullionists against the Bullionists.

Presented here is the debate over the independence of political economy vis-a-vis the other branches of social science, between Frederic Harrison and John Kells Ingram on the one side, and John Stuart Mill and John Elliot Cairnes on the other. While the independence of political economy was rescued, its policy relevance and public reputation were seriously affected. The positivist reaction helped unintentionally to establish economics with far less relationship to other social disciplines.

The first contribution is to show that the question of the micro-foundations of macroeconomics is crucial to understand the Hayek-Keynes controversy. The second contribution is to reveal that Hayek's attack on the micro-foundations issue had a methodological impact on the making of the General Theory especially via the concept of marginal efficiency of capital. The paper concludes that what finally contrasts Hayek and Keynes is the kind of micro-foundations that economists should adopt to explain business cycles.

But this does not mean that this orthodoxy achieved a synthesis between the Banking School and the Currency School. On the contrary, we show that it marks the victory of the Currency Principle that, in fact, did evolve after 1847, but did not rejoin Banking School ideas. The PSFM, which is essential to the Currency Principle, cannot be confused with the gold points mechanism described by Thornton and Tooke. The lender of last resort and money market theories developed by Bagehot are compatible with the dichotomy between currency and credit, a characteristic of the Currency Principle, and contrary to the thought of Thornton's and Tooke.

It is analyzed against the background of the history of economic thought and the economic thinking of his time. Thoreau's economic thought is an extensive examination of the ideas of classical political economy, and particularly of Jean-Baptiste Say, and it is a fundamental critique thereof. Thoreau recognizes that some aspects and foundations of the modern conception of the economy lead to an alienation of the human being from itself as well as to an alienation from nature. I demonstrate that this critique is a result of Thoreau's specific approach to the economy, which, based on his particular understanding of the human being and his philosophy of nature, seeks the meaning of the economy for human life and for nature. In this philosophical approach, which I characterize as an economic philosophy, Thoreau's deeper defiance of classical political economy and his original place within the history of economic thought are grounded. It leads Thoreau to an alternative conception of an economy of moderation, which is identified and described in detail. I conclude with considerations on the potential meaning of Thoreau's thought for current economic research.

We reconsider some fundamental phases of its historical evolution. Two different traditions are distinguished: one consists of the formalisations of Marshall's theory proposed by Barone and, later, by Pigou, Viner, Harrod and Robinson; the other consists of the models of Hicks and Allen, on the basis of ideas and criticism put forward by other London School of Economics scholars, like Kaldor and Robbins, in the mid-1930s. It is argued that the second tradition did not really remedy the weak aspects of the Marshallian theory of supply.

The degree of competition, to which Keynes makes a single cryptic reference, refers to the social and institutional obstacles to the free movement of resources, associated mainly with closed shops of entrepreneurs and workers. Keynes is here invoking an older, Marshallian, concept of competition. The implication is that the received understanding of the terms 'expectation' and 'liquidity' in The General Theory needs revision.

The survey presents only the main arguments, stressing their connection with the international literature. Among the Italian economists, apart from a few opponents, the idea of progressive taxation is agreed upon, even though it is not well founded from a theoretical viewpoint. The main result of the paper is that the main case for progressive taxation is to be found in political and social reasons.

The paper considers various facets of natural monopoly: the expression itself; the singling out of the concrete situations to which it is applied; the inquiry into economies of scale; the consideration of their incompatibility with perfect competition; the drawing of the diagram; and the need for government intervention. In this paper each of the above features is separately examined from a historical perspective. Priorities and influences are then traced, and in particular it is found that the pivotal figure in this historical reconstruction is that of Edgeworth.

The absence of proportionality between motives and outcomes dooms the morality of commercial society, not the mere absence of an ethical dimension to human character. Through the analysis of actions, we find correspondence between the three economic states of the Wealth of Nations and the three social states of the Theory of Moral Sentiments. Thus, re-distribution is important in the moral evaluation of commercial systems. Unintended consequences are neither a source of moral strength nor a safeguard against injustice.

Tozer's mathematical model (1838) Abstract: The paper presents Tozer's study of the effects of the mechanization of productive activities on employment as an effort to devise a mathematical model, as an analytical method that would be more general and robust than Ricardo's numerical examples. The contradictory nature of this achievement is emphasized: while with the help of algebra Tozer made significant progress in model building in economics, it is argued that his contribution to a deeper understanding of the phenomenon under study is much less satisfactory, due to the difficulties he faced in his effort to incorporate consumption and demand into a classical analytical framework.

Although Menger is widely regarded as understanding the monetary system as a Hayekian spontaneous order, Menger recognizes the importance of state in the historical development of money. In his 1900 'Geld', Menger emphasizes the role of state as necessary for the full development of monetary systems. This revisionist view of Menger sheds new light on his thought vis-a-vis a his status as founder of the Austrian School of Economics, as well as the relationship of his thought to that of later members and descendants of the school. Specifically, Menger's position cannot be viewed as aligned with the radical liberalism typical of the literature of these later Austrians.

This paper considers the common criticism of “utopianism” from an immanent point of view. To do so, it will first be established in what Neurath recognized a negative sense of utopianism that was opposed to his own self-confessed “scientific utopianism”. Then it will be considered in what respect, if any, Neurath's stance in the socialist calculation debate can be shown to be objectionably utopian in this sense by the counter-arguments put forward by Ludwig von Mises.

Departing from his previous views on government, Foucault offered a new approach to eighteenth-century liberalism and neo-liberalism, interpreting these political theories in terms of what he called biopolitics. Then the paper endeavours to demonstrate that the line of reasoning pursued by Foucault coincides with that found in Weber's sociology of religion. In as much as Weber studies the relation between the religious and the economic, the paper draws a parallel between the Weberian concept of 'life conduct' and the concept of 'technique of the self' advanced by Foucault in order to study the moral foundation of the economic agent.

In the Middle Ages this principle was extended from physical improvement of goods by craftsmen to include merchants' improvement of goods by transportation and storage. These forms of improvement relate to supply. A tightly knit group of late German schoolmen developed this analysis by relating it by analogy to demand in terms of 'improvement in estimation' by the market. The juxtaposition of demand and supply factors in this analytical model foreshadows some fundamental principles of early modern value theory.

Evidence suggests that the practical knowledge thus gained by these agents was well in advance of contemporary political economists and anticipates twentieth-century developments in the economics of information. Charles Babbage, who regarded merchants and manufacturers as the chief sources of reliable economic data, drew on this knowledge as revealed in the evidence of manufacturers and merchants presented to House of Commons select committees to make an important pioneering contribution to the theory of production and exchange with information asymmetries.

In this article we assess the preliminary shapes of the interest parity (IP) relation. After reviewing the early beginnings of the IP relation, we investigate two French economists of the mid-nineteenth century who have hitherto received no adequate attention. We argue that Bonnet and Juglar ought to be considered pioneers in the assessment of IP relation since Goschen's contribution is related to the specificity of 'long' exchange rates at a bimetallic time.

They are fully endogenous, based on a cobweb-like mechanism affecting not agricultural production, as was customary at the time, but manufacture. Wade's earlier model relies on a threshold of price change before the reaction of demand and supply halts and reverses the movement, while the second is gradual and based on a delay in the producers' reaction. Wade was also among the first to claim that crises return with a certain regularity and to estimate their period. This paper examines and compares Wade's contributions to early business cycle theory, places them in context, and surveys the scanty references to this pioneering work in the literature.

This perspective offers new insights into Joseph A. Schumpeter's main work in public finance, The Crisis of the Tax State, and into his later endeavours as Finance Minister and journalist to popularise two central economic ideas of this work, the once-and-for-all capital levy and the reform of the tax system. We demonstrate that Schumpeter's Crisis contains popularising features and was written with a popularising intention. Furthermore, we show that in his journalistic works popularisation went hand in hand with the development of innovative economic ideas.

However, since 'realism' is a wide and sometimes equivocal term, one may ask what kind of realism Keynes's realism is. This paper argues that Keynes held to an ontological, logical-semantic and epistemic realism. Whereas ontological realism has metaphysical connections, logical-semantic realism involves a notion of truth, and epistemological realism presupposes a theory of knowledge. The character of the subject matter circumscribes the scope of this last kind of realism. Epistemological realism is related to the role of intuition and convention in Keynes's thought, the meaning and evolution of which is explained.

A Rousseauist bedrock for classical economics? Abstract: Drawing inspiration from aspects of the sensationist philosophy of the time and also the political philosophy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Jean-Joseph-Louis Graslin (1727-1790) - a fierce critic of Physiocracy - developed a remarkably coherent political economy based on a 'three stages' theory of society, a labour theory of normal prices and distribution, and a concept of vertically-integrated sectors. He also put forward some ideas - the role of needs in the determination of market prices, a process of gravitation towards equilibrium, a quid pro quo theory of taxation - which attracted Turgot's attention. Had it not been neglected, Graslin's approach could well have formed a possible foundation for Classical economics - broadly defined as proposing a system of equilibrium 'natural' prices based on the conditions of production, with market prices oscillating around them. In the present article I first explore Graslin's basic motivation. I then deal with his 'three stages' theory of society, which lies at the core of his analytical argument. Then follows an analysis of his principle ideas in respect of needs, wealth and value, of production equilibrium and prices, and finally of public economics.

In terms of the politico-economic approach, in the Wealth of Nations (Book III.ii-iv) Smith tried to offer a systematic account of economic development from feudalism to capitalism in Europe. These lead to suggest that the seeming internal inconsistency between the natural and the actual courses of progress in Book III may be resolved, and that Smith may be treated as a precursor of Douglass North, who stressed an inextricable link between the polity and the economy in economic history.

Focussing on Longfield's discussion of value and utility, this paper shows that he was actually using a variant of the Classical framework that was quite different from that of marginalism. Far from exhibiting any substantive originality, the analysis owed a good deal to texts such as J. R. McCulloch's Principles of Political Economy. In explaining why the marginalist precursor characterisation is incompatible with the terms of Longfield's analysis, the paper also considers some difficulties that follow using the category of a precursor in constructing histories of economics.

These authors are Charles Fourier, Thomas Carlyle, John Ruskin, and William Morris. All four argued that the problem of work aversion stemmed from the existing institutions of capitalist society, and could be overcome by the creation of an alternative system of production. Their aim was to create a future society in which work could be experienced as a positive activity. The paper argues that the views of the aforementioned authors provided an important counterchallenge to the classical economists' conception of work as a disutility.

With virtually no knowledge in economic theory, he wrote down a linear model of production in which he formalized the notions of just prices and just wages. As early as 1911, he used the Perron-Frobenius theorem to prove the existence of a positive solution and established a duality result between the quantity side and the price side of the model. He returned to economics in the 1930s, but in both periods he failed to make a lasting impression upon economists.

The main focus is on the early emphasis on central bank independence, which at the time represented a German peculiarity. The paper inquires whether contemporary German economic thought may have provided a theoretical case for this peculiar tradition and scrutinizes the political calculus that motivated some key actors in the play. Contrary to conventional wisdom, important contradictions between the postulate of central bank independence and Ordoliberalism are identified.

The model developed here brings profits fully into price determination, casts additional light on Cantillon's treatment of distribution, and provides the first extended analysis of the policy recommendations found in part one of his Essai. These anti-urban policies are examined in relation to French urbanization and William Petty's analysis of Irish economic development. Entrepreneurial risk-bearing is central to the Essai and this model, yet for Cantillon landlord tastes determine the economy's equilibrium position. This view is mirrored in his treatment of class mobility: only by becoming landed proprietors can entrepreneurs escape dependence and become independent or autonomous determiners of society. Indeed, social mobility actually accounts for the 'independence' of the landed proprietors as a group. Rent's special role stems not so much from the nature of land or agriculture - as Physiocracy would emphasize - as from the nature of the social forces determining its ownership.

In the Teoria delle Mercedi, Ferrara gives a numerical example to explain price determination in the exchange between one buyer and one seller. Here, this example is translated into a mathematical model that reproduces the fundamental issues of the neoclassical debate on the indeterminacy of price in the Cournot model, and anticipates the solutions proposed by Edgeworth at the end of this debate.

Throughout this early phase of the discipline, economists interested in dynamic studies put forward a wide spectrum of suggestions. This paper investigates the lines of research that sprang from the Italian debate either according to or in opposition to the Paretian mechanistic legacy, aiming to show that a growing awareness of subjective variables' role weakened the mechanistic faith of the strictly Paretian followers, pushing them toward probabilistic analysis, anchoring dynamics to uncertainty and disequilibrium.

Indian monetary arrangements were framed into a plan for foreign investment, implemented by the India Office in London. This policy, which was a typical example of public control over investments, occasioned Keynes's first job as an applied economist. Although neglected by Keynesian scholarship, this learning by doing experience is likely to have played a significant role in the young economist's training and education.

We justify this interpretation by considering first Schumpeter's overall methodological perspective, in particular the role played by economic sociology in his approach, and second by showing that the way Schumpeter describes the successive steps of economic development - circular flow, steady state and development - provides a good illustration of how institutional change is progressively introduced into his analytical framework and of the leading role of the banking system in the overall evolution of the financial system.

Justi tried to ground cameralism philosophically by way of what he termed 'political metaphysics'. This theory essentially deals with the following topics: human nature, the state, and natural law. The aim of the present paper is to analyse the key concepts of Justi's political metaphysics as well as the line of reasoning adopted by him. It thereby sheds new light on cameralism as political metaphysics.

Challenging a view that contrasts 'cardinal' to 'ordinal' calculus, we show that these two forms of calculus constitute instead different phases of a single approach. Bentham sometimes has to rely upon proxy variables because of operational constraints, and consequently upon factors other than utility. As a utilitarian, Bentham is de facto welfarist from an ethical point of view. Surprisingly however, this study shows that Bentham resorts to non-welfare information in the actual application of his calculus. His approach reconciles non-welfarism from the technical standpoint with welfarism as a fundamental moral principle.

He rejected all the assumptions that led the latter to advocate a felicific calculus. He thus constructed his economic system on the basis of a different empirical economic anthropology to that found in the analyses of Jevons, Marshall, Walras and Menger, all of which derive from Bentham's reasoning. This, essentially, is why it is not justifiable to include J. S. Mill in the pantheon of neoclassicism.

Knight, pragmatism, and American institutionalism: A note Abstract: This note deals with the debated question of whether, and to what extent, Frank Knight's epistemology was consistent with the general philosophy of American pragmatism. First, in accord with recent interpretations, I provide new evidence illustrating that Knight's views on science, knowledge and related philosophical topics present some important similarities with the pragmatic tradition. Second, I attempt to demonstrate that Knight's unsympathetic reading of Dewy and pragmatism was, to a relevant extent, a consequence of his aversion to the so-called scientific wing of American interwar institutionalism.

Whenever this is forgotten, as happens in the so-called neoclassical synthesis, not only the original Keynesian spirit goes lost but also, and especially, we lose substantive bricks for our theoretical constructions. The paper considers an important instance of this general rule; namely Keynes's views on the logic of probability, meant as the field concerning human behaviour in an uncertain world (hence connected to, but distinct from, the pure theory of probability, meant as a field of mathematics). The paper begins by recalling the main aspects of the classical and frequentist approaches to probability and the main criticisms they received, pertaining among other things to the limits of their applicability. We then consider Keynes's own views, stressing three aspects: the definition of probability as pertaining to the field of logic, the notion of uncertainty and of the 'weight of the argument', the 'theory of groups'. We then discuss the subjective approach of de Finetti, Ramsey and Savage, and contrast it with Keynes's own views. Finally, we consider the implications of our analysis for the interpretation of Keynes's General Theory, and of his attitude towards econometrics.

Chamberlin's attempt to introduce product differentiation and selling costs is compared with Allyn Young's process theory and Marshall's treatment of the firm, and inter-firm relations, as means of organizing the growth of knowledge. The firm is a decision-making system in a context of Knightian uncertainty, and Simon's concept of quasi-decomposability applies to human brains and human organizations.

Abstract: This paper critically evaluates the current decline of the relationship between economics and the history of economics, and proposes a framework called the panorama-cum-scenario model for the practice of the history of economics. Starting with the Hegelian thesis that the history of economics is economics itself, the paper argues that such a relationship is necessary but not sufficient because the history of economics is a metatheory addressed to economic theory. The history of economics needs a panoramic view of the subject and a scenario for the construction, interpretation, and evaluation of the system of economics. The panorama-cum-scenario model enables us to work on the history of economics not only by historical and rational reconstruction but also by global reconstruction. Nietzsche's anti-Hegelian viewpoint and Heidegger's hermeneutical standpoint are useful for identifying the role of historical research in developing economic knowledge based on the panorama-cum-scenario model. Several approaches to the history of economics are examined in light of the panorama-cum-scenario model. Schumpeter's history of economics is interpreted as an example of the panorama-cum-scenario model.

The instrumentalisation of Weber is based on a lack of understanding of his response to economic theory. This article seeks to fill this gap. It will show that Weber extended Menger's work by correcting its naturalism and that his critical response rests on a Kantian approach, as explained below. It appears that a pure non-Walrasian theory is therefore possible and that the heterodox reclaiming of Weber is based on a misinterpretation of his work.

Greek economics was a state-centred profession whose fate was intertwined with that of the post-war developmental state apparatus. Most economists were employed in universities, the civil service or banking, with substantial interpenetration between branches. This configuration of professional constituencies, in conjunction with the structural features of each institution, conditioned the form and content of economic discourse. Professional and ideological cohesion went hand in hand, whilst substantial degrees of vertical and horizontal control by senior members further fostered consensus and increased professional sclerosis. Nevertheless, evidence from a new database of economic journal publications suggests that a substantial realignment took place in the late 1950s and 1960s, as a younger generation of scholars - most of them educated in the post-war UK/US, and affiliated with the newly established Centre for Planning and Economic Research - entered the scene.

Average cost and marginal cost pricing theories have very distinct origins as they are rooted, respectively, in the classical and marginalistic theory of competition. I analyze to what extent and under which circumstances the two theories joined in the work of Alfred Marshall; and I argue that, even though only partial evidence can be found to support the adoption of the notion of marginal cost pricing by Marshall, he developed some concepts, such as the distinction between short and long periods and the notion of quasi-rents, which turned out to be fundamental for the joint acceptance of marginal cost and average cost pricing principles by the Marshallian school.

The difficulty comes from the fact that desire does not depend on pleasure as an impression, but on the force of an idea of pleasure, based upon a belief in the realisation of the correlative impression. Typically, this belief is linked to the underlying emotional state, expressed in the degree of violence of the passions, which governs both the individual's reactivity to pleasure, and his preference for present (compared with future) pleasures. On the contrary, interest and happiness do not depend on the distortion introduced by beliefs, and are directly linked to pleasure. It is shown that the decisional valuation only coincides with interest in the case of what Hume called a 'calm passion', which gives birth to the greatest happiness.

It argues that Adam Smith did not forget the raw materials, and so forth, in his resolution of the price into wages, profits, and rent, and that the constraint binding on the total income was also taken into account by treating rent as the residual. It further argues that there is no fallacy of composition in Smith's explanation for the 'falling rate of profits'. It was explained on the basis of rising real wages and the farmers' inability to shift the burden of the rise in wages from profit to rent in the context of a growing economy.

Huskisson argued that the suspension of convertibility made it possible to extend issues of paper currency beyond its proper limits. Such an expansion, being in the interest of all parties concerned, would actually take place and stimulate excessive speculations, which would eventually prove unsustainable and bring generalized ruin and distress. Although some elements of these explanations were not new (having been anticipated by writers such as James Currie in 1793, William Roscoe in 1793, William Anderson in 1797 and some anonymous writers in 1793 to 1796), Huskisson's explanation is more systematic and better organized, and his emphasis on the endogenous character of the crisis and on the instability of the dynamics of trade and credit makes it an interesting foreshadower of the theories of crises that were advanced half a century later.

As a consequence, guilds were idealised and their model transposed in different ways to the industrial society of the nineteenth century. This paper discusses the different streams of Social Catholicism and the theoretical roots of corporatism in natural law. It will discuss how the idea of a 'corporative order' is more grounded in German corporative law than in Neo-Thomism.

Kemmerer's contribution to the quantity theory of money Abstract: This paper aims at suggesting a new interpretation of Edwin Walter Kemmerer's quantity theory of money as it appears in his Money and Credit Instruments in Their Relation to General Prices (1903, PhD thesis; and 1907, first edition of the book). In that work, he proposes an equation to determine the price level as the ratio of its monetary and real determinants. The paper addresses Kemmerer's key question of how money and credit are related to general prices. Two directions are investigated. Firstly, I explain Kemmerer's quantity theory by means of his exchange equation and how his interpretation may have influenced Fisher's economic theory. Secondly, I consider his test of the quantity theory on the US economy and I show the empirical validity of his theory. It is argued here that both elements give a key contribution to finding a new interpretation of the deepest meaning of Kemmerer's approach to quantity theory.

A central issue was the valuation of debts following changes in the value of silver coins. While the leading rabbi of the sixteenth century advocated linkage to gold coins, the rabbis of the seventeenth century adopted valuation by purchasing power and rejected valuation by weight and linkage to gold coins. The rabbis of the seventeenth century differed from their predecessors in two essential respects: they were more critical of traditional Jewish monetary doctrine, and they utilized a much more sophisticated form of economic analysis.

First we show that the rejection of money as mean of exchange expresses a dismissal of any form of exchange, motivated by a need for independence. In Julie, the community of Clarens exemplifies an autarchic, paternalistic economy that is at once unequal and deceptive. To understand why Rousseau chose such a downbeat solution to the problems arising from the organisation of the division of labour, we make a parallel between the economic and amatory themes, showing in each case the dependence upon others produced by the development of amour-propre.

Mill and A. Marshall Abstract: Both J. S. Mill and A. Marshall had a lifelong interest in the living conditions of the working classes and theorized the possibility of a new age, characterized by a widespread mental and moral cultivation. This paper compares the precise arguments put forward by them in the period ranging from Mill's to Marshall's Principles, against the background of the evidence of social and human progress at their times. It is argued that, at different stages and with different specific arguments, their predictions relied on self-reinforcing mechanisms, in which a better life was the cause, no less than the effect, of progress. In order to make similarities and differences more transparent from a logical point of view, two simple mathematical formulations are proposed.

As a first approximation, Public Economics a la Musgrave can be understood as a synthesis of Pigovian Public Finance and the Wicksell-Lindahl tradition. Musgrave's intellectual background includes a more encompassing and differentiated spectrum of influences, including elements from German communal traditions, fiscal sociology, Austrian marginal utility theory, and Italian Public Finance. German language Finanzwissenschaft in the interwar period was a fertile environment for new combinations. German-educated US economists Richard Musgrave and Gerhard Colm transformed seeds from this environment into lasting achievements. Their acquaintance with the broad range of approaches characteristic of interwar Finanzwissenschaft was a necessary condition for the role they played in the development of modern Public Economics. Moreover, Musgrave's influence on modern Public Economics is an example of how the dissemination of innovations is enhanced by a suitable expository framework. By contrast, the conceptual gap between Anglo-Saxon Public Economics and Gerhard Colm's version of a synthesis (even though the latter influenced or paralleled the Musgravian synthesis in important respects) prevented its swift absorption.

Wade Author-X-Name-Last: Hands Title: Stabilizing consumer choice: the role of 'true dynamic stability' and related concepts in the history of consumer choice theory Abstract: It is often argued that the inability of Arrow-Debreu general equilibrium theory to produce an adequate proof of the stability of the Walrasian price adjustment mechanism was one of the program's most significant failures. This paper will not question this standard interpretation of the history of general equilibrium theory, but makes the case that characterizing the 'stability' question in terms of market stability- in particular the stability of the equilibrium price vector in the Walrasian general equilibrium model - actually helped to stabilize the standard model of consumer choice in general equilibrium theory and elsewhere within microeconomics. The problem of the stability of 'consumer's equilibrium' was much discussed early in the twentieth century, and it has recently re-emerged in a different guise as the 'endowment effects' and 'reference dependencies' of contemporary behavioral economics, and yet it disappeared from mainstream discussion during the period 1950 to 1980. This paper argues that shifting the discussion from the intra-agent stability of the individual consumer to the inter-agent stability of the competitive market contributed - despite its ultimately negative impact on general equilibrium theory - to the long period of stable normal science consumer choice theory enjoyed during the middle of the twentieth century.

This reading leads to a new version of Das Adam Smith Problem, but this is unwarranted. Such a reading tends to conceal the significance that Smith gave to the love of system, which motivates the actions of the philosopher, the man of state, and above all the entrepreneur. This paper shows, by contrast, that by using this conception we can relate Theory of Moral Sentiments to Wealth of Nations, and reject the idea that these works are based upon contradictory assumptions.

His willingness to develop the policy implications of these concepts, however, was half-hearted to say the least. This paper argues that such an attitude is better understood if Marshall's approach to welfare economics is set in the framework of a wider intellectual programme that, passing through various stages, lies behind his entire work. The core of the programme consisted of an attempt to reconcile a utilitarian agenda with an evolutionary view of the dynamic tendencies of industrial society.

In this perspective, he presented in 1922 his own discourse on economic method, and a few months later presented his first economic analysis on money, unemployment and international trade. Rueff asserted that his methodology and the philosophical foundations on which it was built - Henri Poincare's Conventionalism - supported his theory and doctrine. It is the purpose of this paper, focused on the 1922 to 1929 period, first to study Rueff's methodology, theory and doctrine, and second to examine the problematic relations (Methodology → Theory → Doctrine) between these three levels of his first intellectual project.

Rejecting the symmetrical notion of time in classical physics, Joan Robinson emphasized the importance of 'historical time', and hence history. A new generation of economists - including Paul Krugman, Paul David, and Brian Arthur - took up Robinson's challenge, seeking to create a new historical economics by relating random or 'accidental' historical events in different ways to the necessity of economic rules, and finding that, as Robinson saw, scale effects were crucial. Their efforts, however, fell short of integrating history into economics.

And rather than being an insight properly attributable to a particular individual, it was, by that time, a commonplace of economic discussion. This much is easy to establish. It is argued that the common attribution arises at least in part because the Keynesians unwisely chose to express their disagreement with Freidman in terms of expectations rather than in terms of the existence of the natural rate of unemployment. As a result, 40 years later, it has become hard to see that two separate points ever existed.

Bentham examined the problems of constitutional choice with an economic method, answering the fundamental questions of the efficiency of decisional mechanisms and of the correspondence between the interests of the representatives and that of the represented. The paper studies two problems in particular: that of the optimal degree of representation, and that of the role of bribery in elections. The optimal dimension of parliaments is established as a function of the probability that decisions are taken and that these decisions are useful. Anti-bribery laws are criticised with the radical argument that being willing to pay signals a strong commitment to political activity. The paper argues both that Bentham's place in the early history of collective choice should be restated, and that no retrospective reading is necessary to this end, since Bentham's economic approach is entirely embedded in his utilitarian philosophy.

Questioning welfarism and fairness Abstract: The core idea of utilitarianism for Bentham is to establish that only individual utilities count in social welfare. There can be two distinct interpretations of this apparently simple principle. According to one view, individual utilities represent the basic information for the calculation of social welfare: this is how utilitarianism works. According to a second view, social welfare is maximized if and only if individual utilities are maximized: this is what justifies utilitarianism. This aim of this paper is to show: that these two interpretations should not be confused; that they correspond to distinct definitions of welfarism; that they are likely to conflict; and that as a consequence we can draw important and surprising conclusions for political philosophy and economic science. One such conclusion is that fairness should be prior to goodness in a consistent Benthamian doctrine.

It is argued that diverse characterisations of science lie at the heart of the substantive differences in these approaches to welfare, with divergences in the treatment of third-party consumption being more significant than any variations in the ordinal or cardinal representation of welfare issues. Moreover, differences associated with the treatment of third-party consumption have implications for the choice between an economic and a sociological base for the study of public finance.

French liberal economists and the state: Say to Leroy-Beaulieu Abstract: In nineteenth-century France, the nature and functions of the State were an almost constant subject of debate among liberal economists. The aim of this paper is to analyse and restate some hitherto neglected discussions and to discover some bold ideas that could form the hallmarks of a French approach to the question. The enquiry starts at the turn of the century with the seminal work of J.-B. Say and writings by A.L.C. Destutt de Tracy, who both shaped the liberal reflection on public economics during this period. But the works of these authors suffered from important ambiguities. It is shown how subsequent liberal economists - Ch. Dunoyer, V. de Broglie, G. de Molinari, E. de Girardin, P. Leroy-Beaulieu - tried to deal with some of the unresolved questions and, mainly on the basis of Say's work, developed original approaches focusing on the productivity of public spending, the role of the State as a factor of production, utopian views of the State as a private company, and finally the inexorable political and administrative logic of the modern electoral State.

In this paper, we underline the method according to which these economists understand Bentham's utilitarianism: they consider that utilitarianism deals with 'utility' but disregards justice. Such an interpretation appears when they tried to oppose the 'French school' and 'English school' of economics as well as when they discussed the foundation of property rights.

This paper aims to show that Dupuit's position is far more complex: justice is based on welfare - and thus on public utility - although natural rights are not excluded from his scheme. An understanding of Dupuit's concept requires a clarification of the differences between three notions - public interest, welfare and public utility - and, by the same token, of the factors linking each notion to the others.

He provides a mathematical framework for the analysis of taxation, considered both as the counterpart of the benefits received from the State and of the taxpayer's ability to pay. This article examines Fauveau's contribution to fiscal theory. This consists of modelling his two major ideas: as the first author to apply insurance theory to the calculation of an equitable tax, and expressing in mathematical terms Condorcet's principles of taxation. The novelty of his analysis lies in proving, in both cases, the optimality of progressive or of proportional taxation. To give a complete overview of Fauveau's ideas on fiscal theory we present in an appendix two other contributions on taxation that were published separately.

I show that Fouillee's defence of the primacy of liberty has an intuitive appeal that is arguably missing in other formulations of this idea, and I underline the reasons why his concept of 'reparative justice' is innocent of the charge of paternalism.

Such a principle is characterised by an 'ethical economy' perspective, incorporating some original ideas based on the relationship between the law and political economy. Wagner's theory sought to legitimise state intervention and progressive taxation by referring to both a broad Aristotelianism and a specific philosophy of law derived from Krausian natural law. This paper analyses and compares how this idea of the law affects Wagner's theorisation of state-economy interaction and his insights into public economics.

Their positions are discussed firstly in terms of the economic role they attributed to the State and, secondly, in terms of how they considered public goods and public needs. The paper then shows how their analysis depended on political, sociological and ethical assumptions about the State. Finally, it is argued that Italian tradition turned to alternative political and sociological approaches to the State.

Three aspects are considered: the factors that determine the growth of public expenditure; integration of the tax and expenditure sides in the theory of shifting and incidence of taxation; and the general productivity of public expenditure. The main conclusion of the paper is that Italian economists have examined the problem of public finance in a general context, taking into consideration both taxes and public expenditure at the same time.

The first deals with the emergence of the municipalization in the late nineteenth century as a component in the birth of the Social State. The second part concerns the analytical tools elaborated by some leading Italian economists in the first three decades of the twentieth century, when municipalization was the expression of an entire lifecycle, with an early expanding stage (until World War I) and a later stage (under Fascism) of prevalent stagnation.

Fluctuations in the importance granted to externalities reflect fluctuations in the place granted to the market. In the first half of the twentieth century, externalities were judged unimportant. Later, they became pervasive. This radically changed in the 1960s through a redefinition of the market largely based on Ronald Coase's views on transaction costs. The paper analyses these fluctuations in the economists' understanding of externalities and proposes a way of clearly distinguishing externalities from what is internal to the market.

On the one hand, he judges as excessive the attention devoted to an assertion that makes the assumption of zero transaction costs. On the other, he has never stopped reasserting its largely questioned validity. We explain this puzzle by identifying three roles of the 'Coase theorem' in his works: heuristic (to bring to light the role of transaction costs), critical (of the Pigovian tradition), and normative (Coase derives policy prescriptions).

We first examine Rawls's position regarding this issue in A Theory of Justice. Next, we claim that the attitude of the 'second' Rawls about it is rather ambiguous and vacillates between exclusion and inclusion. We attempt to prove that thanks to the concepts Rawls has developed from 1985 onwards (especially the concept of public reason), he could have resorted to the concept of merit goods to cope better with his new objectives.

This paper argues that the debate around altruistic behaviour sparked by Richard Titmuss's analysis of the economics of blood donations in 1970 led to a succession of economic theories of charity, moving altruism from the fringes to the core of the theory. While initially based on the collective provision of public goods, they have now embraced the 'warm-glow' literature, but the full implications of behavioural economics for our understanding of charities have yet to be realised.

Our conclusion is that, far from taking up the challenges raised by Samuelson's contribution, both paradigms lead to the negative conclusion of the impossibility of a fully decentralized optimal public goods provision through market or market-like institutions, without giving a key for (re)defining the role of state in market economies.

Starting with the late 1970s, this project of public economics has been challenged by the growing dominance of neoliberalism as a form of governmentality that extends the economic logic of markets into the domain of the state and its mode of exercising sovereignty over its subjects. After outlining the historical and the disciplinary context of this challenge, the article maintains that endogenous theoretical confrontations internal to public economics should also be taken into consideration to provide a fuller account of the eclipse of the Musgravean public economics in the era of neoliberalism.

It goes on to the question of classification of inventions posed by Hicks, with responses from other authors. It concludes with comments on the current intereste in endogenizing technical profress as a routine profit-seeking activity, with the thought that an uneasy compormise between exogeneous and endogeneous may be the best that can be done.

It suggests that there has been a continuing tension between what economics has to offer economic history by way of technical methods and what economic historians would like to find in economic models. In this area, there has been a danger that use of economic analysis would impoverish historical enquiry. Since the advent of new growth economics the situation has improved in the sense that there is now greater congruence between the hypotheses proposed by cliometricians and the resources that economics has available to them to investigate these ideas rigorously. Unfortunately, however, economists are still reluctant to learn from economic historians.

In this connection, they both addressed the issues of technological invention and the organisation of the production process, but in very different ways. Petty represents both these aspects of the productivity question as instances of another, conceptually dominant, consideration - the benefits of spatial compactness. Smith, in contrast, subordinates both technical and spatial considerations to the division of labour, thus narrowing the focus onto his central message that productivity can ultimately only proceed in step with the extension of the market.

In so far as Smith's account does entail a vision of liberal or competitive commercial society as exhibiting ongoing technical progress, this must have implications for income distribution through time. The paper therefore also considers, in particular, Smith's conception of the course of real wages in competitive commercial society, and how this connects with his view of technical progress. A reconciliation of Smith's theory of real wages and his prediction of high and rising real wages over time is suggested.

The interpretation given is partly inspired by Piero Sraffa's studies in his hitherto unpublished papers. It will be argued that in the classical authors we encounter a sophisticated typology of different forms of technical change and an analysis of the different effects these have. These forms can be analysed in terms of shifts of the inverse relationship between the general rate of profits and wages, or wage frontier. The emphasis will be on Adam Smith's concept of the division of labour, Ricardo's analysis of the substitution of machine power for labour power, and Marx's adaptation of Ricardo's argument to his own analytical framework in terms of a rising organic composition of capital.

At the same time, he was fascinated by the revolutionary power that technical innovations offered and assigned such innovations to play a prominent role in the development of modern society. We may explore the origin and development of his views in greater detail referring to the whole of his legacy, not only to his writings but also to his numerous excerpts from the technological literature of his time.

Yet the nature of the contents of the second book, Industry and Trade, indicates that technological progress is part of the analysis, with special reference to Marshall's discussion of the industrial leadership secured by England during the nineteenth century, and the claims thereto by France, Germany and the United States (Book I, chapters III-VIII). Causes of technological change, and its impact on the size of firms were discussed by Marshall in Book II (especially chapters II and III), while the matter is also treated in the context of changes in business organisation (Book II, chapters X-XII). This paper, in its various sections, therefore acts as a reminder of the fact that Marshall's Industry and Trade was primarily concerned with 'the origins of modern industrial technique and business organisation', as he put it himself in the introduction.

Porter and R. Giffen Abstract: The nineteenth-century economic commentators did not possess a formal measure of the rate at which productivity was increasing during the industrial take-off. Yet they did develop an intuitive method based on the comparative change in long-period prices and wages. This paper reviews the contributions of G.R. Porter and R. Giffen and, in the light of some modern contributions, presents an assessment of their rationality and improvability under current standards. It is argued that a proper measure of industrial productivity increase based on long-run prices is the mathematical dual of a Solovian measure of the industrial total factor productivity growth.

The paper shows that the Abderian philosopher - despite the fact that he did not engage himself primarily with economic issues, as his economic ideas were mainly developed as part of his psychological, ethical and philosophical teaching - is nevertheless a fine example of how ancient Greek thought contributed to the formation of the epistemological presuppositions of Political Economy, making Man the Subject of History and of all Social Process.

In this paper I argue that it is more appropriate to describe Hearn as an Anglo-Irish economist and, to this end, provide the Anglo-Irish context for the economic doctrines that he expressed in Plutology and elsewhere. I also argue that the failure of Plutology in the market place was, in part, due to a campaign waged against Hearn in London by John Elliot Cairnes, who was an undergraduate contemporary of Hearn's at Trinity College, Dublin.

An outstanding member of the so-called 'early Chicago School of Political Economy', Viner was actively engaged in the debate over the causes and cures of the Depression, emphasizing the important role international economic problems played in producing its onset and in reinforcing its duration. During the 1930s Viner was an outspoken supporter of international monetary cooperation, set up to secure exchange rates stability, which he regarded as a paramount factor in restoring business confidence and fostering recovery. As a close assistant to Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr, Viner was able to exert a positive influence on the administration's foreign economic policy, from the Gold Stabilization Act of 1934 to the Tripartite Agreement of 1936. Although not directly involved in the Bretton Woods Conference, he played a role in preparing the ground for the establishment of multilateral agencies such as the International Monetary Fund and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development. By means of his unpublished papers and other archival sources, as well as his writings, I shall examine Viner's analysis of the Great Depression, his contribution to the debate over American foreign economic policy and his work as economic adviser from 1930 to 1945.

The Rehn-Meidner model's relation to contemporary economics and the Stockholm school Abstract: A wage and economic-policy programme for full employment, price stability, growth and equity was developed by two Swedish trade-union economists in the early post-war period. A restrictive macroeconomic policy, a wages policy of solidarity and an active labour-market policy are the cornerstones of the Rehn-Meidner model. The model was influenced by Hans Singer's analysis of the fallacies of incomes policy under full employment conditions. However, it is difficult to find equivalences in contemporary economics to the model's combination of policy goals and instruments, its proposed relation between the instruments, or to its emphasis on the role of actual profits in wage formation.

The paper traces the historical development of the UV curve and argues that the role of the UV curve has changed from that of a measuring device, to a graphical representation of full employment, to an axiom necessary for matching models of unemployment to a diagnostic tool. This changing role is best understood in the light of the paradigmatic change from Keynesianism to neoclassical search theory.

Hawtrey on the national and international lender of last resort Abstract: This paper traces R.G. Hawtrey's main contributions to the theory of the lender of last resort (LLR), both national and international (ILLR). This theory is a continuation of one of the traditions of the classical period, started by Henry Thornton, which differs in important points from that of Walter Bagehot. In their treatment of the classical concepts the authors partly depart from the interpretation of Thomas M. Humphrey, who considers that Thornton and Bagehot have basically the same approach about LLR. Hawtrey renewed Thonton's views and extended the concepts to new problems, including the ILLR. Hawtrey built a model of LLR in a dynamic macroeconomic model that includes the Cambridge market for cash balance and introduces the bases of a theory of ILLR, describing the sequence of twin crisis, exchange and banking crisis, thus explaining the difficulties for an ILLR to act on the currency market without taking the risks involved, in a situation completely different to the one faced on the money market by the national LLR.

C. Pigou's views on the practical issue of high unemployment in the 1920s. In his Industrial Fluctuations, Pigou emphasized that the monetary aspect of business cycles was much more important to fluctuations in unemployment than wage adjustment. In a journal article, however, he stated that major part of the high unemployment should be attributed to the failure of money wage adjustment. I argue that, on balance, Pigou attached greater importance to monetary problems than to the wage rigidity.

I discuss whether Hirschman, as a money doctor himself, was able to acquire immunity from the disease he feared.

Abstract: In one of the most famous passages of the economic literature, John Maynard Keynes likens the stock market to a beauty contest (BC), in which the winners are those who anticipate the average opinion. In behavioural economics there have recently been attempts at investigating the BC experimentally. We argue that there exist important differences between Keynes' and behavioural economics' BCs. We identify several types of BCs and propose a taxonomy. We also suggest that, in spite of these differences, Keynes' theory of decision under uncertainty is central to understanding the actual behaviour observed in experimental BCs.

Reflecting on the cases which we would qualify as 'paradoxes in expected utility' he puts these down to common faults, explicable by 'delusions' and 'dominant desires'. This article concerns the revelation of this original procedure of a philosopher who had little interest in mathematics who constructed a clearly probabilistic procedure of choice. By a Bayesian revision of our probabilistic belief and our 'delusions', we sometimes 'prefer that which we desire less' and this way of thinking explain our endogenous changes of preferences.

It was finally published in the 1980s. Why did he not publish his thesis in the 1930s, when it would have made a substantial impact? We present two arguments. In 1932/33, Joan Robinson published many of Kahn's main ideas, rendering subsequent publication by him derivative. And by the mid-1930s, Kahn discovered that parts of his dissertation left untouched by Robinson were no longer new or distinctive because of rapid progress in research on imperfect and monopolistic competition.

Simultaneously rising unemployment and inflation made the Treasury sceptical about the old Phillips curve from the start, but, far from moving smoothly to the expectations-augmented version, it hesitated between assuming the curve had shifted outwards, abandoning any idea of a Phillips curve, and adhering to a 'New Cambridge' curve where unemployment made inflation worse. Eventually a tense Treasury meeting abandoned money illusion by majority vote.

In economics, the idea of comparison, aspiration or relative income belongs to this theoretical framework. The first systematic usages of this notion can be found in the works of Keynes and Duesenberry. After these works the concept was relatively ignored by orthodox theorists until its recent re-appearance, mainly in the fields of labour and macroeconomics. To the contrary, however, income comparisons continued to play a role in much of Keynesian inspired and non-mainstream economics literature. In the past few years it has made a strong comeback in the literature of job satisfaction and of the economics of happiness. This paper attempts to trace the development of the concept in the modern history of economic thought. It also discusses the main theoretical implications of adopting income comparisons and possible reasons for its relative disregard by orthodox economics.

In proposals for banks of charity in the first half of the century, bank proposers were concerned primarily with usurious pawnbrokers, and with ameliorating the problems they caused. In proposals for Lombard banks that appeared in the 1650s, proposers employed terms such as ‘pawn’, ‘fund’, and ‘security’ rhetorically in emphasizing the security of the envisioned institutions. The struggle for confidence over the course of the century shows that institutional credit neither emerged fully formed nor swept disorder away.

Pietro Verri is a leading figure of the Italian Enlightenment and he belongs to the Lombard branch of the Italian School of Political Economy (sometimes named ‘School of Milan’) during the latter half of the eighteenth century. Schumpeter's treatment of the ‘School of Milan’ describes Pietro Verri as ‘the most important pre-Smithian authority on Cheapness-and-Plenty’. A careful canvass of the texts substantiates Schumpeter's suggestion. Verri stands out as a key figure in the transition from Physiocracy to the Smithian system.

Our interdisciplinary approach gives an insight into Husserl's transcendental phenomenology, Walter Eucken's Ordoliberalism as well as in the interdependency between phenomenology and economics for which Rudolf Eucken's philosophy of intellectual life plays an important role. Particular affiliations between phenomenology and economics can be found in the following topics: epistemology, the idea of man, the comprehension of liberty and the importance of legal or social orders, institutional rules and frameworks of regulations.

Hayek. It examines the origins of this book project and the circumstances responsible for its premature termination. There follows a broad overview of the framework for the analysis of money, time and the cycle that Hayek developed in the Untersuchungen and, finally, some specific aspects are highlighted that appear noteworthy in light of conventional interpretations of Hayek's thought. The most remarkable insights to be gained are on Hayek's sustained focus on adjustment processes and the obstacles -- money and the time structure of production -- that he perceived for an economy to attain the equilibrium as analysed by ‘static theory’.

This article focuses on the role refugee economists from Continental Europe played in the rise of American economics. It focuses on the emigration of German-speaking economists after 1933; and then deals with the special case of Jacob Marschak who emigrated twice, first from the Soviet Union in 1919 and then from Nazi Germany, and exerted a greater influence in Britain and in the USA. Finally important contributions by émigré economists to game theory, public finance and development economics are reflected.

The main purpose of this text is to contribute for better understanding of Mincer's work and his relevance to the history of twentieth-century labor economics. The analysis of Mincer and his contribution to labor economics will also be used to highlight the promises and pitfalls of studying applied fields in the history of economics.

This paper introduces a little-known Presbyterian clergyman Thomas Hepburn (circa 1727--1777), and situates his economic analysis of eighteenth-century Orkney in the context of corresponding networks in the Scottish Enlightenment. Hepburn reported in his Letter (1760) on poor practices in agriculture, manufacture, and trading, and cited tyranny and oppression by the local lairds as the causes of poverty in Orkney. This paper highlights the central role of the local minister in mediating his observations on the condition of his parishioners to an administrative and learned audience.

Together with the concept of externality, they constituted two of the most important founding elements of modern welfare economics. Many have suggested that, on the way he treated externalities, Pigou might have drawn from his master, Alfred Marshall (see the proposal for a ‘fresh air rate’). The aim of this paper is to inquire into the features of the original proposals made both by Marshall and Pigou, underline the differences between the two and challenge the hypothesis of ‘continuity’.

One of them was the corporate economic theory -- understood as a theory which asserted the fundamental role of the state in economic affairs. The protagonists of this attempt to integrate in Italy corporatism into economic science were L. Amoroso, G. La Volpe, E. Fossati, G. Del Vecchio, M. Fanno, G. Papi, and G. Masci, and therefore leading economists of the Italian school who adhered to both the Marshallian and Paretian traditions. The discussion in Italy was concerned more with economic policy problems than rigorous theoretical analysis. What interested the Italian economists was not the development of new theories, but the introduction of new economic institutions able to give concrete responses to the dramatic economic problems of the time. The principal result of economic reflection on corporatism was recognition of the state's central economic role also within a free-market economic system.

To be concrete, by concentrating on some of the well-known policy-related works conducted by three thriving research programs in experimental economics, this paper demonstrates what kinds of perspectives contemporary experimental economists take towards a foundational issue in economics, rationality. The disunity this paper finds in experimental economists' practices is interpreted as a source of strength, rather than weakness, for experimental economics as a whole.

Despite being considered so serious a violation to deserve a per se condemnation, predatory behaviour has never been easy to identify in real markets because pricing at a very low level is normally welfare-enhancing. For most of the twentieth century, the violation has been severely enforced by U.S. courts, though on the basis of a legal argument devoid of solid foundations in theoretical economics. The paper examines the critiques against this argument made by Chicago scholars, the literature stemming from these critiques, and the motivations behind the U-turn in enforcement triggered by the influential contribution by Areeda and Turner (1975). This story may tell a useful lesson about the different practices of economists, legal scholars, and judges with respect to the treatment of antitrust violations.

This paper explores the antique provenance and character of thumos in Smith, establishes its dominant role within his social and economic system, and examines how it informed his attitudes to luxury, consumption and wages. The paper also seeks to resolve confusion created by Smith's apparent ambivalence about the irrationality and moral effects of thumos by recourse to his theodicy. In doing so, it shows that thumos-driven agents (unwittingly) sacrifice own utility to system utility.

His work can be viewed as an extension of Frank Knight's call for a liberal order, which would not be purely instrumental to maximization of an aggregate measure of welfare but which would take into account individuals as moral persons. We proceed by identifying parallels between Habermasian discursive ethics and contractarian theories. We attempt to identify the origin of normative statements. We are interested in how these authors proceed in terms of respect of personhood. We investigate the role and agreement in these ethical systems.

We propose a new reading of Keynes' theories in order to assess how they can improve our knowledge regarding economic performance and overcome some current limitations and inconsistencies in the literature. In this line, we consider Keynes' original, overall theory, which is more general and comprehensive than other later contributions, together with its main psychological and sociological elements.

Abstract: Abstract The paper examines the intellectual and structural change that German economics experienced after the Second World War. This development often was described as ‘Americanisation’, since it seemed to rest upon the influences of the American occupation regime. In contrast, the paper applies another meaning of ‘Americanisation’. It is considered a ‘discourse’ that serves to structure the disciplinary procedures to produce progress. As it can be shown by the adoption of Keynesianism and neoclassical microeconomics, the change of the discipline was not primarily driven by direct American influences. Rather, in some respect the German reception took a path of its own. That contradiction can be solved by a theoretical modification of the classical concept of ‘Americanisation’. ‘Americanisation’ there meant a change of the operational procedure of German economics to generate progress.

A Rounded Globe of Knowledge by Simon Cook Abstract: Abstract In his book, Cook maintains that throughout his life Marshall was a convinced idealist, under the early influence of Ferrier, later strengthened by his reading of Hegel. This article aims to show that Marshall's interest in Hegelian philosophy is associated owith his endorsement of Spencer's evolutionism, rather than with Ferrier's dualistic philosophy. This opinion stems from, and leads to, a completely different interpretation of Marshall's early philosophical papers and their impact on his economics and social thought.

Good institutions and the moral rules often needed to comply with them are more likely to be disregarded if there are large, sudden material gains, such as new wealth generated by the sudden opening of markets or government granting monopolies. For Smith, the desire to show off in front of others can inhibit moral behaviour and respect for good institutions, generating perverse incentives that hinder growth. Gradual change is to be preferred.

Mill, Bowring, and Senior on the London silk industry (1823 to 1841) Abstract: Abstract Passed in 1773, the Spitalfields Acts were the main regulation of the London silk industry. Classical political economy has generally been depicted as one of the main causes of their repeal, occuring in 1824. Recasting the successive interventions of Ricardo, Mill, Bowring and Senior in their respective political context, we show how they exhibit a shift in the discussions, from commercial to industrial issues. After Ricardo and Mill stressed the need to free the trade, Bowring pointed out the superior quality of French products. Senior relied on his work to emphasise the question of copyrights, which dominated his 1841 accounts.

A first section clarifies how contemporaries perceived this group. This is followed by an analysis of Villeneuve-Bargemont's Economie politique Chrétienne in order to outline a standard Catholic approach to political economy. Finally, that standard is used to chart the work of other Catholic economists within that group and to contrast it with the approach followed by other contemporary social political economists.

Although Marshall insisted that economic biology is ‘the economist's Mecca,’ he did not originally develop the organic growth theory. However, we focus on the concept of ‘organic growth’ and explore Marshall's idea of economic biology. We discuss the concept of ‘organic,’ the structure of the organic growth theory, and the relationship between mechanical economics and economic biology. In particular, we focus on the last chapter of the fifth edition of Principles of Economics. Marshall did not develop his theory in these subjects.

What is less well known is that Viner's theological reading of Smith developed over the next 40 years through intense study of eighteenth century natural theology, and some of his views changed. This article traces the development of Viner's interpretation of Smith. It assesses the suggestion of D.D. Raphael that Smith moved away from a theological framework over time and that Viner repudiated his theological reading of Smith. I argue instead that Viner's mature work broadened and strengthened the theological reading. Much of the literature on Smith and Viner wrongly assumes that naturalistic explanation and theological frameworks are mutually exclusive. This may be the dominant twentieth century view, but it was not so in the eighteenth century, as Viner well understood.

The object of this paper is to account for this fact and what it denotes: the disappearance of money as a central object in the discourse on economy and society. We outline the context of this mutation in relation to the ideas of Montesquieu, Gournay and Forbonnais. The actors of this change will then be considered: the promoters throughout these years of ‘philosophie économique’ i.e. Quesnay, the Physiocrats and Turgot. An analysis of these authors, together with a founder of this perspective, Boisguilbert, will show how the status and role of money was modified and illuminate the issues involved. This transformation can be related to the affirmation of a new political discourse whose foundations are rooted in economic interest.

Although we support the idea that Hume was in some way a hedonist -- evidently different from Bentham's or Jevons' way -- we lay emphasis less on continuity than on the specific kind of hedonism encountered in Hume's writings (chiefly the Treatise, the second Enquiry, the Dissertation, or some of his Essays). Such hedonism clearly contrasts to its standard modern inheritance, expressed by the relation between preferences and utility. The reason for such a difference with the usual approach lies in the mental process that Hume puts to the fore in order to explain the way pleasure determines desires and volition. Whereas pleasure is primarily, in Hume's words, an impression of sensation, it takes place in the birth of passions as reflecting an idea of pleasure, whose “force and vivacity” is precisely a “belief”, transferred to the direct passions of desire or volition that come immediately before action. As a result, from a Humean point of view, “belief” deals with decision under risk or uncertainty, as well as with intertemporal decision and indiscrimination problems. The latter are explored within a formal framework, and it is shown that the relation of pleasure is transformed by belief into a non-empty class of relations of desire, among which at least one is a preorder.

It first shows the rhetoric and logical effects that are used to win the reader's goodwill. Then it reviews nineteenth century debates on the validity of the theory. Finally, it cites three real cases, where the division of labour does not increase the productive power of labour. In conclusion, it suggests that the theory on division of labour appears to require some adjustment, while acknowledging that some of the facts underlying arguments in its support are naturally true.

But for Malthus it is not necessary because if workers choose to delay marriage the equilibrium real wage will rise even if the economy will be stationary; it is not sufficient because land scarcity causes wages and profits to fall with accumulation in the absence of technical progress. The first qualification signals a post-Revolutionary recognition that the lower orders have it in their own power to improve their condition. The second qualification is the defining assumption of the new, ‘classical’ political economy of the English School.

An analysis of the dissemination of Louis Bachelier's work in economics Abstract: Abstract This article presents the results of new research on the history of financial economics by analysing the dissemination of Louis Bachelier's work. Louis Bachelier is doubtless the best known French mathematician in the history of modern finance theory. While recent studies have given us a fairly complete picture of the man himself, his work and the results he arrived at, knowledge of his contribution to the development of ideas remains imprecise. Although the direct influence of his work is analysed on occasion, no study has assessed the dissemination of Bachelier's work, and hence its impact on all scientific disciplines. This is precisely the purpose of this article: to examine the dissemination of Bachelier's work in order to better assess his impact on the development of financial economics (Jovanovic (2010) makes a similar analysis of the dissemination of Bachelier's work in mathematics). Based on a bibliometric analysis of Bachelier's work, this study aims at shedding light on his influence and explaining how the idea of his ‘rediscovery’ in the 1950s gained credence. This article demonstrates that, contrary to the widely accepted view, Bachelier's work has never been forgotten; it also shows that the discovery of Bachelier's work by economists has had no significant influence on the development of financial economics.

We also look at Kahn's contribution on buffer stocks, which brought to fruition the original intuition by Keynes, refining it with his usual attention to the finest details. Finally, we will draw some general considerations on the relevance of the proposals of stabilization of commodity prices, based on buffer stocks, in the present sentiment of ‘a return to Keynes’ in the attempt to cope with possibly the worst global economic crisis since the 1930s.

In contrast to most contemporary writers -- particularly David Hume and Adam Smith -- Steuart had a balanced opinion about these two financial experiments. On the one hand, Steuart considered them worthwhile, since they were attempts at public debt restructuring by reducing its expense and increasing its liquidity. Moreover, according to Steuart, a well-managed public debt favours the liquidity of both banks and the financial market. These worked together for the growth of wealth. However, on the other hand, Steuart claimed that the failure of these experiments was due to: (i) a poor management of money; (ii) a violation of credit rules and its corollary, the weakness of banks; (iii) the adoption of contestable dividend and financial information policy. This article presents Steuart's proposals for creating the liquidity of both banks and the financial market via a well-managed public debt.

This paper compares these different uses of the concept and studies the relevance of the definition of envy adopted on each side, taking into account what is at stake when a notion of envy is introduced. It will be shown that Rousseau's envy cannot be expressed by modern conceptions of envy. Nevertheless, it enlightens the debate between the two competing notions of envy present in modern economic theory, revealing that the existence of envy questions the notion of self-interest.

Abstract: Abstract Like many authors of his time, Smith assumes a greater sensitivity to adverse than to prosperous events. Though neglected by commentators, with the exception of Ashraf et al. (2005), the influence that he attaches to prosperity and adversity on happiness deserves special attention, particularly from an analytical point of view. This paper aims at bringing out the implications of such an asymmetry for his work and for current developments concerning decision and welfare. Since the argument that comes to justify this asymmetry, in the Theory of Moral sentiments, is not clear, both in its structure and in its content, the first step consists in a clarification of Smith's position resting, principally, on the History of Astronomy, which introduces the concepts of ‘custom’ and ‘surprise’. Next, Smith's argument is discussed in a more formal framework, through alternative approaches of what might be considered a Smithian happiness function: reference-dependent models with loss aversion or standard cardinal utility-like functions. Textual evidences leads to favour the last alternative. This also leads to non-trivial conclusions concerning the way Smith views individual happiness.

It describes the major trends of classical and neoclassical economic thought that influenced his background and focuses on his conception of economic science: method and vision, fields of application (from the Italian economy to the the Great Crisis) and his theory of economic policy (Buongoverno). The paper maintains that Einaudi possessed the qualities of the great economists of the past but his understatement in the manner of presenting his positions and his style of argument have overshadowed the great economist he was.

By reviewing his memoirs and the various interpretations of his work, it puts forward the particular conditions and circumstances that shaped Georgescu-Roegen's theoretical developments. His way from neoclassical consumption behaviour to the entropy law and the economic process was a very exciting intellectual journey. Born in Romania, having experienced four dictatorships in the 1930s and 1940s, he confronted with the problems of a rural, overpopulated economy. The paper shows that his practice in Romania was the rain that made grow the seeds planted in his mind by Schumpeter at Harvard.

This argument is not only consistent with Confucianism but also might point to another lesser known side of Confucianism that the luxury spending of the rich can be regarded as a wealth-transferring mechanism. Furthermore, luxury spending was encouraged for purposes of enjoyment; it did not involve the consideration of power and protection. This is in sharp contrast to the extravagance of the European nobility; their intention was to maintain a hierarchical structure.

Our paper deals with the reasons of that disagreement. After having told the story of the manuscript, we compare its content and the critiques on both the positive analysis of the observed monetary situation and the normative analysis of an ideal monetary system. We show the theoretical divergence between two conceptions of money, Ricardo advocating a secure currency while Bentham favored secure banks. We conclude that Bentham's manuscript and Ricardo's comments may add to the present knowledge about these authors and classical monetary theory.

Abstract: Abstract The standard view about the relationship between the Marshallian and the Walrasian approaches is that they are complementary to each other. My aim in this paper is to show that, on the contrary, they constitute alternative sub-research programmes within the wider neoclassical paradigm. I make my point by contrasting the two approaches against the following benchmarks: the purpose of economic theory according to Marshall and Walras; their views as to the role of mathematics; their specific ways of tackling complexity; the conception of equilibrium underpinning their theories; and, finally, their trade organisation assumptions.

Hobson's Over-Saving Thesis: General theory versus historiography Abstract: Abstract The discussion of J.A. Hobson's understanding of over-saving has been largely confined within John Maynard Keynes' famous critique in the General Theory. I argue that gauging Hobson's contribution by ‘general theory’, that is, by an ahistorical, non-evolutionary yardstick, is to miss the larger part of Hobson's achievement. Hobson's conception of over-saving was contained within an evolving historiography of capital accumulation and took on various meanings depending on whether Hobson was discussing a competitive or monopolistic environment. I show that Keynes' ‘corrected’ version of over-saving was implicitly contained within Hobson's analysis of an evolving monopolistic industrial structure.

A first reason for the two psychologists' triumph in economics is that they provided a friendly criticism of economics based on a re-interpretation of normative and descriptive. A second reason for their success was the new type of experiments they could use. A third reason was their effective use of intuitively appealing examples, to which not only the experimental subjects but also the readers of the articles could relate.

According to the first view (Jevons, Walras, Marshall), competition is characterised, independently of market structure, by the peaceful price taking conduct of consumers and producers. Rivalry is not completely absent, but it concerns the interaction of mediating professional dealers. According to the second view (Bertrand, Launhardt), competition appears as an aggressive strategic interaction between producers.

This is suggested by a paragraph-by-paragraph comparison between three versions of Cantillon's writings, namely the French Essai of 1755, fragments of Postlethwayt's Universal Dictionary (1752--1754) and Philip Cantillon's Analysis of Trade (1759). Whilst numerous variations between the texts may be attributed to free translation practice or to interventions by later editors, others cannot. A comparative study of variations may provide us with insights into the development of the ideas of this masterly economic theorist.

Using Schumpeter ‘to come back before Schumpeter’, we show which views these authors share on the character of the entrepreneur, the role of the entrepreneurial function in the economic process and the evolution of that notion up until the stage of developed capitalism (Hochkapitalismus). Thus, the entrepreneur appears as a key-stone for building capitalism. Finally, we indeed sketch the ‘spirit of entrepreneurship’ as it emerges from the entrepreneurial function.

This allowed the Turkish government to invite a large group of these scholars to the benefit of the academic endeavours of the young Turkish Republic. The article gives an overview on the refugees from Nazism who came as experts and advisers to the Turkish government. It then focuses on the scientific contributions and activities of the small but significant group of economists and concludes with an assessment of their impact.

Phillips and his curve: Stabilisation policies, inflation expectations and the ‘menu of choice’ Abstract: Abstract This paper investigates the interpretation of the Phillips curve by Phillips himself. It will be shown that Phillips primarily understood his curve as a disequilibrium relation to be used in his models on stabilisation policies and not necessarily as a long-run ‘menu of choice’ between inflation and unemployment, even though Phillips did not oppose and sometimes even appears to have endorsed this interpretation. Inflation expectations are discussed by Phillips as well. Contrary to Friedman, price expectations drive his system from the demand side but not from the supply side of the economy. Nonetheless, price expectations may induce dynamic instability.

In this letter Ricardo opposes the adoption of a double standard of money, two years after the return to convertibility of banknotes and in the midst of an economic recession that pressed for drastic monetary changes. It contains an argument -- linking the double standard of money, the seignorage on the silver coin, the behaviour of the Bank of England, and the fall in the value of the pound -- which is to be found nowhere else in Ricardo's works.

Contrary to conventional presentations, this paper demonstrates that essential issues in the debate with Hume need to be properly situated within the broader philosophical and theological debates of those times. Price's primary application of Bayes's theorem to Hume's argument against miracles is also shown to be distinct from the conventional Bayesian approach to the interpretation of testimony. The ‘rational intuition’ used to motivate Price's prior distribution is compared with modern intuitionism and substantive differences are identified.

The paradox of a negative relation between natural wealth and growth was elaborated, before Humboldt,by Hume. Humboldt's account of the high degree of income inequality in Mexico caught Malthus's attention, who turned it into a key element of his anti-Ricardo view that the fertility of soil may be associated with poor growth if there is a lack of effective demand. Cairnes claimed that the structural impact of a natural resource boom on the rest of the economy is compatible with the comparative-advantage framework. J.S. Mill articulated the potential perverse effects of natural wealth on effort supply and weak institutions, a theme conspicuous in the modem literature about the “natural resource curse”.

Walras and C. Menger: two ways on the path of modern monetary theory Abstract: Abstract This paper shows that modern monetary theory can be better understood through the differences between Menger and Walras. Since the 1980s, attempts to establish coherent microfoundations for monetary exchange have brought Menger's theory of the origin of money to the forefront and sent walrasian methods to the backstage. However, during the first decade of the twenty-first century, models inspired on mengerian monetary theory, mainly represented by the search monetary approach, are trying to reintroduce neo-walrasian elements. This paper aims at clarifying the main theoretical implications of this movement, through an analysis of the Menger--Walras divide on money. This divide allows us to show new proof of the deep theoretical differences among the so-called marginalist authors and of the richness of this historical period as a source for modern economics.

The modest intent is to awaken strategy scholars and perhaps others to Austin Robinson's pioneering volume. The ambitious intent is to deepen the historical intellectual roots of the RBV, thereby securing a more certain foundation and direction.

His most important refinement of the theory, derived from his recognition of bank deposits as means of exchange, was to treat their out of equilibrium recursive interaction with inflation as integral to it. This treatment underlay both his 1920s work on the business cycle as a “dance of the dollar” and his advocacy of subjecting monetary policy to a legislated price stability rule, initially to be based on his “compensated dollar” scheme. Fisher's failure to recognise the onset of the Great Depression even as it was happening was directly related to his faith in the quantity theory's seeming implication that price level stability in and of itself guaranteed the continuation of prosperity, while his subsequent work on the debt deflation theory of great depressions initially failed to repair the damage that this failure did to his reputation, and to that of the quantity theory. In the 1930s Fisher nevertheless remained an active supporter of various schemes to reflate and then stabilise the price level. His subsequent influence on the quantity theory based Monetarist counter-revolution that began in the 1950s lay, directly, in its deployment of his analysis of expected inflation on nominal interest rates, and, indirectly, in its espousal of the case for subjecting monetary policy to a legislated rule.

The first phase corresponded largely to the period between 1897 and 1911, when they proposed different explanations of the interaction between interest and prices, and incorporated aspects of each other's approaches into their own respective frameworks. This was followed by Wicksell's extended criticism of Fisher's compensated dollar plan and his bewilderment at its apparent lack of relation with the quantity theory of money (1912--1919). Finally, especially after Wicksell's death, Fisher came to support a significant part of Wicksell's monetary policy proposals, particularly in connection with the Swedish stabilisation experiment in the early 1930s. Fisher and Wicksell were both heirs of Böhm-Bawerk's interest theory, but interpreted and criticised the Austrian from different perspectives, which helps to explain the differences in their approaches to monetary dynamics.

First, we will begin with a description of the relationship between Fisher (1911) and the British Monetary Orthodoxy. Next, we shall examine the relationship between Fisher (1911) and the Cambridge School and Hawtrey. This will lead into a study of Keynes’ comments on Fisher (1911). We shall show that all referred positively to Fisher. However, they were also critical of Fisher's method and this was to contribute, in turn, to making their own analyses more precise, in particular regarding the role of credit.

In chapter 13 of the first edition and in an appendix in the second section of 1913, he introduced a rule to maintain the stability of the level of prices, known as the “compensated dollar”. According to this rule, the legal definition of money is changed. In other words, the weight in gold of the dollar is modified once a month in order to impede the frequency of price changes on a basket of goods. According to Fisher, this plan would offer stability for the purchasing power of money. He sought to find an alternative system to the fixed price of gold under the Gold Standard. He wanted to introduce a dollar fixed in terms of its purchasing power, but variable in terms of its metallic weight. In this paper, we will focus on Fisher's analysis of the stability of money value and his position in the debate on the compensated dollar from 1909 to 1922. We will study the anticipations of Fisher's compensated dollar, the critical reception of Fisher's project and the evolutions it gave rise to, the gold exchange standard and the algebraic evidence. We also examine the debate's connections to the question of whether or not the compensated dollar plan is compatible with the quantity theory of money. We end with the analysis of the gold price elasticity of the net supply of gold, with an explanation of the relationship between the Yellowbacks and the varying price of the gold reserve.

Author-X-Name-Last: Dimand Title: David Hume and Irving Fisher on the quantity theory of money in the long run and the short run Abstract: Abstract David Hume's classic statement of the quantity theory of money and the specie-flow mechanism of international adjustment in 1752 and Irving Fisher's authoritative restatement of the quantity theory in 1911 shared a concern with simultaneously upholding both the long-run neutrality and the short-run non-neutrality of money. This paper compares their approaches to attempting this reconciliation of the long run and short run, noting their shared emphasis on ‘illusion’ as the basis of short-run non-neutrality, and places their contributions in historical context. I argue that Hume and Fisher shared the same view of how automatic adjustment of the balance of payments worked under the gold standard, with Fisher's monetary reform proposals being an attempt to prevent the working of Hume's automatic adjustment mechanism.

This paper compares the debt-deflation theory of Fisher (1933) with the dynamic depression process he had expounded almost 20 years earlier in the Purchasing Power of Money (1911). The role played by both price level and price change effects in the analyses of Fisher (1933, 1911) are clarified in the context of the disequilibrium model of Tobin (1975). More precisely, we show that the stationary equilibrium is assumed to be locally unstable according to Fisher's 1911 insights and globally unstable according to his 1933 analysis.

Despite widespread hostility of German economists to quantity theory, it was Germany where Wicksell's Interest and Prices was published in 1898, and the first foreign language translation of Fisher's book appeared in 1916. The hyperinflation in the early 1920s contributed to a greater interest in Fisher's approach. Among those economists who took the equation of exchange not only as a heuristic device, but also made some notable contributions themselves were Schumpeter, Marschak and Neisser.

This reading led them to ponder the meaning that should be given to this theory and to study its empirical significance. Some of them, namely Rueff and Divisia, went further still and considered Fisher's work as a starting point for their own analyses, which were related in particular to the monetary index, the integration of money into general equilibrium theory and the analysis of monetary phenomena in an open economy.

The main characters of the story told in this article had an active interaction with the ideas they received. Fisher's work was first diffused by Alejandro Bunge, who was interested in the construction of index numbers and corresponded with Fisher. Bunge's most prominent student was Raúl Prebisch, who integrated Fisher's description of the transition periods with some aspects of the works of Tugan-Baranowsky, Frank Taussig and John Williams to explain the economic cycle in Argentina.

Section 3 propounds that Malthus's theory is located beyond the principle of population, with the oscillation figure as its centre. Section 4 takes note of the trajectory which the Essay describes between natural and moral science, assesses inequality and growth as the two focal points of Malthus's theory and eventually observes Malthus looking forward to a state beyond the dictates of growth.

Using the case of the railroad industry in France, I examine how both natural monopoly theorists and legislation dealt with this subject in the nineteenth century. I argue that the origins of vertical unbundling date to this period with legislation pertaining to inland waterways and railroads. This was particularly the case for the railroad industry due to pricing and competition rationales. I analyze the writings of Dupuit and Walras, and show that they both agreed that infrastructure and services had to be unbundled for the inland waterways. In contrast, they expressed different justifications to defend the monopoly for the railroad industry. Following a chronological progression, the first section explores the origins of unbundling in legislation. The second section analyzes how theorists approached the way railroads had to be managed. Throughout, I highlight the interplay between their work and legislation.

This paper aims to direct new light onto such a methodological influence. Firstly, it is pointed out that the Paretian idea of science deeply influenced the late scholars of the Italian tradition. Secondly, it is shown that Paretian sociology was less important than his economic methodology. Thirdly, it is argued that, in a generalized Paretian approach, most public policies may be studied under economic hypothesis; it remains true that, in the Paretian approach, public choices may be explained by sociological reasoning only.

Author-X-Name-Last: Olsen Title: The comparability of the aggregates revisited Abstract: Abstract This article addresses a longstanding controversy over the comparability of the economic accounting aggregates used by Marx in Capital with those used by Keynes in the General Theory. It demonstrates that Tsuru's highly-regarded works on this issue, which are the standard references on the topic, contain significant errors. These errors led several influential readers to conclude either that there are significant differences between the two sets of aggregates that do not actually exist, or that Marx's aggregates are fundamentally flawed and, by implication, that his entire theoretical schema is also. The effect of these problems has been to obscure the relation between Marxian and Keynesian theories rather than clarify it, as well as to foster confusion over some very basic issues in Marxian theory. This paper identifies the mistakes in Tsuru's work, and provides the correct mapping between the two sets of aggregates.

We show that Marx's interpretation based on Turgot is questionable. Whereas Marx bases his ideas on a Lockian definition of labour which puts labour at the origin of value, Quesnay and his disciples develop a mechanistic definition of labour established on Neo-Cartesian foundations. This particular concept of labour then combines with a bio-physical definition of production. The theory of the net product is therefore re-interpreted.

Abstract: Abstract The question of the legitimacy of traditional sexual division of labour receives growing attention from contemporary economists. In particular, a debate takes place between the "New Home Economics", which stresses the efficiency of the traditional arrangement and economists questioning the justice of the relations between sexes. The same kind of opposition appears between two Victorian economists: J.S. Mill and W.S. Jevons. Although both are utilitarian, they adopt contrary views about the relative importance of efficiency and justice in the definition of appropriate gender relations. While Mill aims at conciliating justice and utility, Jevons considers that utility outweighs justice.

Luigi Einaudi and the Turin School of Economics Abstract: Abstract The article is dedicated to the work of a group of economists that was an important expression of a fertile season of Italian economics, in the period from the mid-1890s to the end of 1930s, which developed around the figure of Luigi Einaudi, and earlier, around that of his master Cognetti de Martiis. This School expressed a range of thought of high value in the political and economic sphere. In the economic field, the School established a fertile relation between historical--empirical work and economic theory; in the political field it investigated the relation between freedom and economic order.

This is a mistake, but an interesting one. The paper traces the idea of the methodological individualist isolated individual in Hobbes, Locke, Bentham, Austrian and neoclassical economics. The idea is untenable because it prevents a distinction between the individual and the economy in which it supposedly pursues its interest. But the mistake pushes beyond itself, pointing to a tenable alternative, plural individuality. The alternative view is thus grounded in its contrary, rather than simply rejecting it.

Two examples, drawn from the history of monetary theory, are provided of how neglecting the historical background may lead to erroneous interpretations and prevent a correct assessment of the position that a work occupies in the HET. The first relates to the interpretation of Ricardo's theory of money. The second discusses the so-called inconsistencies between metallist and cartalist positions that can be detected in many pre-Smithian writers on money.

During the Guerre des Farines, he denounced the economic and social inefficiency of such a policy. According to Mably, justifying free trade as a means of compensation for insufficient demand was a "non-sense". The mistake committed by Physiocrats was that of envisaging the possibility of pursuing a supply policy without taking into account the divergent interests of economic actors, in particular those of the owners and the non-owners.

As originally this type of utility was not called 'cardinal', the paper also investigates the terminological question of when and how the expression 'cardinal' was coupled with positive linear transformations. In opposition to existing narratives, the paper shows that cardinal utility entered economic analysis between 1909 and 1944, that is, during the ordinal revolution in utility theory.

The case of Alfred Marshall is used to illustrate how facing the idea of race in past thinkers can generate valuable insights in the history of economics. The main body of the paper traces the development of Marshall's idea of race. It further points to a gap between this idea and some of his written statements, which it explains as following from Marshall's anxiety that his historical introduction to his Principles of Economics (1890) not appear out-of-date. The derivation of Marshall's idea of race is connected to the derivation of his idea of nationality. Where ties of blood and common descent provided the social bond in primitive and ancient societies, an internal principle of nationality provides the equivalent for modern nations. But this principle of nationality is seen to be a general principle of social identity of profound relevance for understanding our early twenty-first-century societies and standing at the heart of the recent 'Marshallian revival'. An inquiry into Marshall's idea of race thus indirectly generates insight into the intellectual roots of contemporary Marshallian ideas.

Author-X-Name-Last: Hodgson Title: Come back Marshall, all is forgiven? Complexity, evolution, mathematics and Marshallian exceptionalism Abstract: AbstractMarshall was the great synthesiser of neoclassical economics. Yet with his qualified assumption of self-interest, his emphasis on variation in economic evolution and his cautious attitude to the use of mathematics, Marshall differs fundamentally from other leading neoclassical contemporaries. Metaphors inspire more specific analogies and ontological assumptions, and Marshall used the guiding metaphor of Spencerian evolution. But unfortunately, the further development of a Marshallian evolutionary approach was undermined in part by theoretical problems within Spencer's theory. Yet some things can be salvaged from the Marshallian evolutionary vision. They may even be placed in a more viable Darwinian framework.

Such an extension seems surprising, since Ricardo always firmly opposed bimetallism on the grounds of its instability. The question thus arises of whether the Ingot plan, conceived by Ricardo for a single-standard monetary system, is consistent with Marshall's extension of it to a double-standard one. The paper analyses Marshall's scheme for "stable bimetallism" and shows that it could not guarantee monetary stability, concluding that Marshall did not simply extend Ricardo's plan but adopted a different view of a standard-based monetary system and, indeed, of money itself.

As a prominent nationalist, he joined the Fascist regime from its very beginning and in 1925 was named official speaker of the Presidential Committee for the study of constitutional reforms. The laws suggested by the Commission were the first step towards the gradual 'corporatisation' of the Italian society, a process that Gino Arias encouraged through many essays and writings that appeared in the main Fascist journals and newspapers. This paper seeks to analyse Arias's fate during the rest of the 1920s and 1930s that would eventually lead to a rather dramatic and paradoxical ending: the flight of the 'Jewish' Gino Arias to Argentina, due to Fascist racial laws. Gino Arias's elaboration of the 'revolutionary' corporatist economy is based on an original reformulation of the individuals' economic motive. Arias moved from the traditional self-interest motive to a new and particular affectio societatis, an hypothesis, although far from being realistic, that was necessary to give corporatism a sound theoretical foundation. The elaboration of Arias's speculative analysis was strictly related to government's economic policies throughout the Twenties and the Thirties and cannot be understood without referring to the institutionalisation of Fascist corporatism. Arias's affectio societatis represents in fact the theoretical formulation of a widespread cultural process and as such will be examined in this paper.

The article offers complicating remarks to critically discuss this interpretation. In particular, we analyse the complex Keynes--Hume theoretical connection in light of the Keynes--Sraffa correspondence on Hume's Abstract, and emphasise the theoretical legacy of Keynes's 1910 lectures on speculation for the analysis of financial markets in the General Theory.

Author-X-Name-Last: Kadochnikov Title: Gustav Cassel's purchasing power parity doctrine in the context of his views on international economic policy coordination Abstract: AbstractGustav Cassel (1866--1945) has formulated a number of original ideas concerning international economics and finance. These include what possibly was one of the earliest theoretical visions of the goals and scope of international economic policy coordination. However, these ideas largely remained unnoticed or were forgotten after his death. To a large extent, it is due to the fact that Cassel's comprehensive theoretical framework was subject to later fragmentation, while one of the key elements of his argumentation -- the purchasing power parity (PPP) doctrine -- was taken out of the context and subsequently misinterpreted. The paper aims to reconstruct Cassel's vision of the goals and tools of the international economic policy coordination and to present PPP doctrine in the original theoretical framework.

These are still at the centre of many discussions today. This article argues that there is a remarkable continuity in Triffin's work. From his earliest writings, Triffin developed a vision that the international adjustment process was not functioning according to the classical mechanisms. This view was based on thorough empirical analyses of the Belgian economy during the Great Depression and shaped by a business cycle perspective with an emphasis on the disequilibria and the transition period. His doctoral dissertation on imperfect competition theory and his Latin American experience further reinforced this basic view.

Abstract: From an analytical point of view, some aspects of Just Price theory, probably the most famous and lasting scholastic concept, remain controversial: the cost-of-production versus the subjective-utility theory of value is a main controversy as well as the question of whether the natural just price is conceptually the same as the current market price. Strictly speaking, just price isconceptually the same as the current market price. Of concern is whether the meaning behind the label is the same in both scholastic and liberal traditions. There are different interpretations among scholars. One is that the just price is merely the current market price, and common estimation plays the same role as market forces in a competitive context. Another group states that the just price is quite different from the market price; the fundamental reason is that the ethical framework of the scholastic paradigm sets a corpus of principles that greatly differs from the neoclassical homo economicus. Is it possible to speak of a collaborative market price (scholastic tradition) and competitive market price (liberal tradition)? This article tries to dig into such debate and reflects on the morality of the market price.

Is there then any distinct role for entrepreneurship in the classical approach to distribution and prices? Is it absent from those theories, or subsumed under other economic functions? How is entrepreneur remuneration understood, if theorised at all? These questions are addressed in relation to the political economy of Adam Smith in particular.

He contributed to the era's free-trade doctrine as editor of influential periodicals, most notably The Banner of the Constitution. Before leading the free-trade cause, however, he was poised to negotiate a reciprocity treaty between the United States and Brazil, acting under the authority of Secretary of State and protectionist apostle Henry Clay. Raguet's career and ideas provide a window into the uncertain relationship of reciprocity to the cause of free trade.

This paper presents a comparison of the development of these processes in Italy and Spain, through the analysis of the presence of political economy in some institutions in both countries between 1860 and 1900: universities, economic associations, economic journals and national parliaments. This essay aims at supplying new insights to the consolidation of economics as a scientific and socially appreciated field of knowledge, and exploring the influence of the form of institutionalisation on the economic ideas diffused in a particular country.

While Menger's monetary thought underwent a complicated process of development and his later works reflected new Chartalist insights, Menger never escaped the theoretical framework of the spontaneous origins of the monetary unit, devoid of any action or intervention by the state. The role of the state in Menger's monetary theory was always confined to the later stages of money's development. While Menger once admitted a possibility of money's origins by the influence of public authority, he never incorporated it into his overall theoretical framework.

Author-X-Name-Last: Fratini Title: The Hicks-Malinvaud average period of production and 'marginal productivity': A critical assessment Abstract: Malinvaud took up the concept of the average period of production introduced by Hicks in Value and Capital and then Capital and Time, in an article of 2003 celebrating Wicksell's contribution to the theory of capital, where he observed that once techniques are ranked according to the average period for a given initial rate of interest, a rise in the rate of interest entails the use of a technique with a shorter average period. After a brief reconstruction of Malinvaud's argument, it is shown that the result is far less encouraging for neoclassical theory than it might seem. The most important problem is not the fact that change in the interest rate affects the average period of production associated with a technique, despite the concern this aroused in Hicks and Malinvaud, but rather that it affects the ranking of techniques. An example with two techniques is used to show that a rise in the rate of interest entails the use of a technique with a shorter average period even in the case of reswitching simply because the ranking of techniques is inverted at the two switch points.

The discourse on the economy of things focuses on defining the proper limits of wealth. The economy of the slaves included multiple technologies of classification, management and supervision that were to guide the master and the matron in their 'use' of slaves. The wife was a freeborn member of the polis who was doomed to spend her entire life in the economy as a governed subject who partakes in government only within the confines of the oikos.

In addition, we examine what these writers proposed as regards the formation of the desirable level of wages and what factors influence them to adopt specific views.

However, apparently Bentham never took a serious interest in the organisation of such a successful entrepreneurship and new model society, although it seemed to fit in with Bentham's ideas of the entrepreneur ('projector') and also with Bentham's ideas on social reform, seeking the greatest happiness of the greatest number. This article explains how Bentham's share in New Lanark came about. It tries to ascertain whether the New Lanark experiment and Owen's ideas fit Bentham's managerial theory and ideas on social reform so as to understand why Bentham did not pay more attention to Robert Owen's practice.

However, his insightful contributions have not been taken up as they deserve, mainly because they were, and still are, too original. By reconstructing Scitovsky's analysis on the basis of all his relevant writings, this article integrates his most original concepts, such as novelty, consumption skill, endogenous preferences, pleasurable uncertainty, into conventional economics; it compares Scitovsky's analysis to the economic thought of his time and to current consumer theory and it reveals his contributions to happiness economics, such as an original interpretation of the Easterlin paradox.

His analysis of the role of industrialisation in the development policy of peripheral countries is based on criticism of the international division of labour that has been presented by CEPAL (Comisión Económica para América Latina). Furtado's study of the new dependence situations of the periphery is based mainly on the expansion of multinational firms, the vehicle of the global diffusion of the industrial civilisation. In order to escape industrialised underdevelopment, Furtado advocates recovering the national decision centres in order to better direct technology within the periphery.

These contributions mainly focus on the influence of wealth on happiness (Ashraf et al. 2005; Bruni 2006; Brewer 2009). However, this connection is far from covering Smith's considerations about individual happiness and their possible similarities with today's analysis in economics of happiness. In the Theory of Moral Sentiments, Smith argues that adverse events depress people's mind much more below their "ordinary state of happiness" than prosperous ones. However, close to what we call, today, "hedonic adaptations theories", he views adverse and prosperous events as only short term shocks, so that an individual's level of happiness tends towards the one of his "ordinary state of happiness", just as short term market prices tend towards long term natural prices. This paper aims at throwing light on the foundations of Smith's "gravitational" theory of happiness, on its consequences on an individual's preferences, and also on its implication with regard to the possibility of long-term variations of happiness. The first step leads to establish a link between the nowadays familiar idea that individuals adapt to circumstances and Smith's analysis of individual happiness. The second step puts to the fore the role that Smith grants to the sympathy with the impartial spectator in the way back to the "ordinary state of happiness" after deviations produced by prosperous or adverse events. At last, we focus on the decisional consequences that Smith draws from his gravitational theory of happiness, chiefly those which deal with the choice between various permanent situations (for instance, poverty and riches) and their evaluation.

These criticisms are examined in the light of the counter-criticisms provided by a fictitious subject called Smith redivivus. These counter-criticisms highlight Ricardo's neglect of the differences between vérité de raison and vérité de fait and between the points of view of an individual and of society behind Smith's treatment of money vs. real, temporary vs. permanent and natural vs. market price of labour as labour and of commodities as products of labour.

However, his lectures in the College de France inspired a young Ottoman-Greek, Sarantis Archigenes, who wrote a political economy book which discussed the economic problems of the Ottoman Empire of the mid-nineteenth century. This article provides an account of the traces of Rossi's ideas in the formation of Archigenes' views, with an aim to present Rossi's role in the dissemination of Classical political economic ideas in the Ottoman lands.

First and foremost, it shows that his theory of unemployment is coherent - what Beveridge refers to as 'the reserve of labour' represents 'unemployment' as a whole; unemployment is due to the imperfection of the labour market and associated friction and the organisation of the labour market is necessary. Second, it suggests that as early as 1909, a negative relationship already existed between unemployment and job vacancies and that the segmentation of the labour market and imperfect information are key factors of friction. The first part of the paper provides a reconstruction of Beveridge's theory of the reserve of labour (1909) including causes and factors of unemployment and unemployment policies. The second part shows that certain founding principles of the 'Beveridge curve' (Beveridge 1944 [1953]) were already to be found in his 1909 book and that links can be established between Beveridge (1909), Phelps (1970) and Pissarides (2000).

Growth theory and cycle theory based on Harrod's contributions aimed at reducing this instability. Following Harrod, who was strongly opposed to the 'knife-edge' interpretation, we define the warranted rate of growth as a 'moving equilibrium' and focus on its interaction with the effective rate of growth. Our simple Harrodian model generates various dynamics from stable path, to growth cycle and corridor of stability.

This paper focuses on the position of Maffeo Pantaleoni, a leading figure of the late nineteenth century 'renaissance' of Italian political economy, with respect to the eminent representatives of the two schools: Pareto and Marshall. Pantaleoni's position is examined with reference to the two main bones of contention between Pareto and Marshall, namely general as opposed to partial equilibrium, and pure as opposed to mixed economics.

A comparison is made between the published transcripts of this text and manuscript fragments preserved in Lyon. Two main conclusions are drawn. First, no completely reliable transcript of the text has been published. Second, differences between the Lyon fragments and the published transcripts suggest that the former were part of an earlier draft than the better known Lantheuil manuscript. Some reflections are added about the fact that the latter manuscript is incomplete and has been inaccessible for many years.

The empire came at a cost that did not obviously outweigh its benefits. The solutions proposed tended towards relinquishing the colonial empire. This is relatively clear in the writings of Burke, Anderson and Tucker but less so in those of Smith, who advocated not independence (for which public opinion was unprepared) but free trade between the colonies and the home country.

Such period of isolation came to an end during the early twentieth century. The most outstanding economists of that period such as Flores de Lemus, Bernis or Torres were persuaded that Spanish economic development was strongly linked to a tax system reform. At the same time, numerous writings on public finance were published by secondary authors and a wide range of foreign handbooks were translated into Spanish. Consequently, public finance became an outstanding channel for the introduction of marginal theory and German Historicism into Spain.

Firstly, it is argued that the Stockholm School played a secondary role in shaping Sweden's counter-cyclical policies during the depression. The Minister of Finance, Ernst Wigforss, possessed all the theoretical tools he needed before the academic economists had made their views on the crisis publicly known. Secondly, it will be argued that Wigforss was the one closest to anticipate the General Theory, and that he had his theoretical system for a counter-cyclical fiscal policy worked out in 1931 already. He provides an important link in one of the most debated topics in the history of macroeconomic thought. In an allusion to Axel Leijonhufvud, this link is named the 'Wigforss Connection'.

Barone's article has been widely cited, particularly in the comparative economic systems literature, but it has not been very widely read or analysed in recent years, and there is not much literature that places Barone's 'Ministry' model in the context of his other works or in its historical, social, or ideological context. The aims of this article are: (a) to analyse and clarify Barone's model in depth; (b) to place it in the context of Barone's other writings and the literature on the subject; and (c) to examine the apparent contradiction between Barone's hostility to socialism and his attempt to formulate the pure theory of the collectivist economy.

It begins by presenting their common origins in empirical studies that opposed the Keynesian-type analysis of consumption. While the first developed into the program of behavioural economics defended by George Katona of the Michigan Survey Research Center, the second nourished the contributions of authors like Galbraith (1958, 1967, 1977), Scitovsky (1954, 1962, 1976) and Mishan (1960, 1967).

A review article of transforming modern macroeconomics. Exploring disequilibrium microfoundations, 1956-2003 Abstract: This article is an in-depth analysis of Backhouse and Boianovsky's book, Transforming Modern Macroeconomics: Exploring Disequilibrium Microfoundations, 1956-2003. I start with questioning Backhouse and Boianovsky's too broad understanding of the disequilibrium approach. Thereby they bring together theories that should be kept separate, those by Patinkin, Clower and Leijonhuvud on the one hand, and those by Barro and Grossman, Drèze and Benassy, on the other. I also substantiate my disagreement with their claim that an inner link exists between fixed price equilibrium theories and imperfect competition modelling. Finally, I put forward a few conjectures about the reason why fixed price modelling petered out.

Generally high leverage and strained maturity mismatches build up slowly but generate a financial structure so brittle that the impulse that eventually sends it crashing is hard to identify. The US financial system had been rendered more vulnerable by the financial reforms that swept away the Glass-Steagall regulations. The crisis made the inadquancies of the ruling macroeconomic paradigm painfully obvious. DSGE models generally did not include a financial sector and did not take the possibility of dramatic instability seriously. Unanticipated violations of budget constraints do not fit easily into general equilibrium models.

A reduced form entails a diagram with three curves relating employment and the real wage, which represent the two fundamental classical postulates and the principle of effective demand. This diagram illustrates better than IS-LM the generality of Keynes's theory, clarifying the distinction between voluntary and involuntary unemployment. Other significant features are the role of the distribution of expected interest rates among heterogeneous agents, whether dispersed or concentrated, in shaping the LM curve, as well as the role of wage competitiveness constraints as a foundation of Keynes's relative wage hypothesis.

There was a large variety of explanations of cycles and depressions, and Keynes' General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money (1936) was pitched against them. In 1937, followed three different attempts to provide synthetic expositions of macroeconomic theory that would deal with the Keynesian challenge: Hicks' Mr. Keynes and the "Classics", Haberler's Prosperity and Depression, and Lundberg's Studies in the Theory of Economic Expansion. This paper compares those 1937 syntheses and contrasts them with the "Neoclassical Synthesis" and the current "New Neoclassical Synthesis".

However, Lange's article was not only an attempt to illuminate Keynes's main innovations but the first part of a wide project that included the development of a theory of economic evolution. This paper aims at showing that Lange's article can help in illuminating critical aspects of this project: in particular, Lange's idea that a synthesis between Kaldor's and Kalecki's theories and that of Schumpeter, might have been possible and that it represented (in intentions) a "modern" and consistent reconstruction of the Marxist theory of the business cycle. Section 2 clarifies Lange's early reflection on dynamics. Section 3 centres on Lange's 1938 static model and indicates the effects of a change of saving on investment. Section 4 suggests a dynamic reconstruction from which are addressed important arguments raised by Lange in a series of papers written between 1934 and 1942.

The mathematical tools are similar to Keynesian pioneering non-linear macrodynamic advances but the theoretical framework is obviously totally distinct. In particular, for Allais, the origin of endogenous cycles is monetary, and explained by the interplay between two key elements: the agents that hold the desired money balances and the banking system that can create money.

Abstract: By examining the rhetorical use of an old piece of economic theory by some contemporary economists, this paper intends to report on "how today's economists conduct a public policy debate". This paper is neither a scholarly history of the interwar debate nor a sophisticated critique of current economic policy. It is an attempt to link the policy and theoretical arguments of two similar debates separated by nearly 80 years. The second part of the paper demonstrates that the (un-)expected return of the Treasury View is a case study illustrating two very different modelling strategies.

It is shown that closer acquaintance of Marx with Quesnay's Tableau Ēconomique and with Cantillon's Essai occurred almost simultaneously, and this joint discovery led him to supplement his value-centred view of early classical economists with a new circular flow, or macroeconomic perspective within which Cantillon's role was recognised to be crucial. Marx's analysis of the Cantillon-Quesnay connection is supported by a review of an early contribution to Cantillon scholarship by the Soviet economist Alexandra Eidelnant.

Abstract: At the beginning of the twentieth century the German mathematicians Perron and Frobenius published their powerful theorems on non-negative matrices. For many decades these tools were overlooked by all pioneers of linear economics (except Potron in France). I concentrate on Charasoff and Remak, the two pioneers in the German-language literature. Both were mathematicians, but both failed to use Perron-Frobenius mathematics in their economics. I discuss possible reasons for this neglect, and I also draw attention to the communication between different protagonists, the connection between Perron's forgotten Limit Lemma and Charasoff's economics, Remak's bizarre prices, and some interesting archival material.

The impression is that some important links between facts, economic theorising and public policies are not yet clearly identified. The paper aims at investigating such relationships in a historical perspective, with a special reference to the evolving role of endogenous and exogenous criteria to the study of OCA.

To this end, we focus our attention on Keynes' speculations on the cotton market. Our main conclusion is that Keynes did not base his speculation in cotton exclusively on the assumption that futures prices were downward biased in comparison with spot prices, as his theory would predict.

Abstract: In trying to assess the content and significance of Keynes's attempted revolution in economic methodology, historians have almost exclusively focused on the General Theory. By highlighting the legacy of the Treatise on Probability for Keynes's economic writings, this article provides evidence of strong methodological continuity among the Tract on Monetary Reform, the Treatise on Money, and the General Theory, despite radical differences in the theories. We argue that the novelty of Keynes's approach lies in offering a method of analysis requiring cooperation on the part of the reader, in the effort to tackle the complexity of the economic material.

According to this theory, the level of the long-term interest rate is determined by expectations of future short-term rates. Keynes' thinking contained several notions - such as the preferred habitat of lenders, the theory of forward markets, and risk premiums - which Hicks used to give a more complete theory of the term structure of interest rates. Besides implementing these notions in his own theory, Hicks introduced the concepts of the preferred habitat of borrowers, the liquidity risk premium, and arbitrageurs who can take advantage of spreads between spot and forward rates and eliminate risk premiums.

This is mainly due a difference in their notions of liquidity, and in particular to Keynes's disbelief in the possibility of quantifying the premium required to induce investors to hold long-term rather than short-term assets. It follows that Hicks's and Keynes's explanations of the term structure are neither identical nor can be assimilated to the notion of 'preferred habitat', as suggested in some literature.

It is then argued that whereas Monetarism brought about a revival of the quantity theory of money from the limbo into which Keynesianism had pushed it, RE-NC modelling was responsible for that theory's most recent disappearance. This happened despite the fact that, initially, RE-NC economics appeared to be a mainly technical extension and refinement of Monetarism, rather than a radically new economic doctrine. Some implications of this story for todays' macroeconomics are briefly discussed.

Author-X-Name-Last: White Title: A peculiar archaeology: Searching for Mr Giffen's behaviour Abstract: It has been claimed that references to 'Giffen behaviour' constituted a single research project, driven by attempts to establish whether an initial 'conjecture' by Alfred Marshall had empirical validity. There is no stable basis for that claim because Marshall's discussion was contradictory and Robert Giffen rejected a key assumption made by Marshall. By the mid-1920s, discussion of an upward-sloping demand curve attached no particular significance to a Marshallian story. The formulation of the Irish famine Giffen exemplar by P.A. Samuelson illustrates how Giffen behaviour was stabilised as the single possible exception to the law of demand in the 1960s.

We first present the opposition among liberal economists between the advocates of the liberty of bequest and the defenders of its limitations. We then try to show that these contrasted positions cannot be reduced to the confrontation between the doctrine of natural rights and the principle of social utility. Finally, we propose another explanation for the divergences of the Liberal School through different conceptions of the State.

Author-X-Name-Last: Sotiropoulos Title: Hilferding on derivatives Abstract: Rudolf Hilferding has always been regarded as a leading Marxist scholar. His theoretical intervention is still considered to be benchmark in Political Economy. Nevertheless, Hilferding's approach to derivatives has been left untouched. The aim of this paper is precisely to fill this gap in the literature. Hilferding realised that the development of the stock exchange was indeed parallel to another important event: the emergence of standardised derivative exchanges; he underlined their economic significance for the organisation of capitalism. In spite of how one appraises the final outcome of his analysis, the intention to incorporate futures markets in his general approach and to analyse them using Marxian theoretical categories is quite exceptional in the long tradition of political economy.

(TGF). It aims to complement and counterpoint recent examinations of Penrose's influence on strategic management, and on the resource-based view in particular. The paper examines six components of the argument, tracing their interconnected journey towards TGF's relatively neglected final chapters, which address the economic consequences of the growth of large firms. It also reflects on the implications for economic development research, with reference to Penrose's later critique of contemporary liberalisation policies.

Moore's philosophy and Cambridge economics: Ralph Hawtrey on ethics and methodology Abstract: The paper discusses Ralph Hawtrey's critical approach to welfare economics. Hawtrey, one of the Cambridge Apostles, was deeply influenced by the ethical philosophy of G.E. Moore. First in The Economic Problem (1926), and then in several other writings, Hawtrey denounced contemporary economics as lacking in ethical foundations, and, accordingly, regarded the individualist economic system as morally unsatisfactory. Hawtrey's approach is compared to that of a contemporary Apostle and Cambridge economist, Gerald Shove. Hawtrey's and Shove's tentative applications of Moore's philosophy to economics and political science, respectively, provide intriguing evidence of a neglected Moorean undercurrent in Cambridge social sciences.

It is argued, first, that the dialogue between the authors did not start with Sen's 1980 article "Equality of What?": Rather, this article represents the beginning of a transformation in Sen's position towards Rawls. Second, Sen's approach to justice is not a mere extension of Rawls's theory of justice as fairness: The departure relies less on a different metric of justice than on a divergent conception of impartiality, one which undermines the foundation of Rawls's theory of justice.

Two kinds of behavioural economics - classical and modern - are attributed, respectively, to the two pioneers. The mathematical foundations of classical behavioural economics are identified, largely, to be in the theory of computation and computational complexity; the mathematical basis for modern behavioural economics is claimed to be a notion of subjective probability. Individually rational economic theories of behaviour, with attempts to broaden - and deepen - the notion of rationality, challenging its orthodox variants, were decisively influenced by these two mathematical underpinnings.

Kinkel's theory, although unknown outside Bulgarian academic circles, carries a range of original ideas and new insights within the frame of Schmollerprogramm. It emphasises the importance of studying economic development as sociocultural evolutionary change, focuses on the role of unity in social life and the plurality of human motives and attempts to methodologically link theory and history into a multidisciplinary approach. Kinkel's work in general, and his theory of cyclical development in particular, can not only be of value for the study of economic thought and the diffusion of ideas, but can also offer insights into the forces underlying the profound changes that we have been witnessing recently.

This graphical model is used here for the first time to study the effects of the changes in the explanatory variables (quantity of capital, number of workers and level of technical knowledge) on the dependent variables (interest rate, wage and period of production). This systematic application of the model shows that some of the conclusions drawn by Böhm-Bawerk are incorrect and need to be amended. A comparison with Solow's model also shows that Böhm-Bawerk can legitimately be considered as one of the main originators of the standard contemporary approach in macroeconomics of equilibrium and growth.

In this article, we argue that these exchanges have, to a large extent, structured the anti-physiocratic rhetoric.

The cultural disqualification of physiocracy (1760-1790) Abstract: By studying seriously a literature generally dismissed by the historians of economics - satires, tales, theatrical works, pamphlets, poems, and songs that mock with humour the physiocrats, their fellow-travellers, and their doctrines - this paper reveals what was made of them and their ideas, who did this, and the underlying whys and wherefores. Three major forms of critiques are considered. The first, that of a Church (the Encyclopédistes) fighting a rising heresy (the physiocrats), concludes that the fanaticism of the latter is incompatible with the virtues of tolerance that must characterise the true philosophes. In the second form, the Encyclopédistes and the Économistes are assimilated. Both led to the destruction of the old taxonomy of society and even to death, to famine and to a chaos of transgression. The third form concerns the dubious parallel between the y-king of ancient China and the Tableau économique. These three types of cultural writings capture and explain something new - physiocratic political economy - thanks to well-known mental constructs. It stages characters and facts in order to give meaning to events the causes of which are difficult to explain. It is, beyond all the irony and mockery, an attempt to understand and to defuse new fears resulting from this incredible endeavour to change reality.

Linguet's rhetorical use of the voice of the people is studied here through its rhetorical device and its fantasmatic and ideological echoes. With his dramatised and polyphonic style Linguet quotes many different protagonists, but he chooses to neuter the people's voice on the rare occasions when it is heard. Despite this rather conventional suppression of the people's voice, Linguet's claims to be a spokesman or advocate of the people are quite convincing. Through his detailed and hyperbolic depiction of the physical suffering of starving people, Linguet shines a light on one of the blind spots of the Physiocratic doctrine which sees no damage in economic prosperity.

In polemical stance against the Économistes - the Physiocrats - and starting from the irremediable fact of the division of nations rather than their union, he intended to promote two goals: peace in Europe and the prosperity of nations through foreign trade. His approach was disputed by the Économistes who proposed instead a confraternal vision of nations in a free trade environment. This paper analyses Forbonnais' arguments, the answers of the Économistes and Forbonnais' final reply, and stresses the different views of politics this polemic denotes.

In opposition to this statement, I show in this article that this letter may offer a reliable prism which sheds light on Rousseau's meaningful opposition to physiocratic views. This opposition can be analyzed along three distinct conceptual lines, each interesting in its own right, and with regard to the birth of our political modernity. These are the theory of government, the definition of interest, and the interaction between public opinion and the formation of citizenship.

An analysis of the debates in Éphémérides du Citoyen and in correspondence with Dupont Abstract: Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot (1727-1781) is one of the few French economic theorists who led a political career and held ministerial office. He continues to intrigue both historians and historians of economic thought where his relationship with the physiocrats is concerned. Does Turgot fully share their belief system, or does he only borrow a few elements from it? Is he a critical author of this school of thought? To date, no agreement has been reached on this subject. This paper attempts to answer some of these questions in an objective manner, drawing on the evidence provided by texts and therefore minimising the interpretations. The sources we will primarily refer to are the Éphémérides du citoyen and Turgot's correspondence with Dupont. We will revisit the economic themes of large- and small-scale farming, as well as savings, and discuss Turgot's views on slavery and the "sectarian spirit" of the physiocrats.

Éphémérides du citoyen prior to "conversion" (1765-1766) Abstract: Éphémérides du citoyen is often considered to be an anti-physiocratic periodical, up until Baudeau's adherence to Quesnay's theories in 1766. An analysis of the journal's main economic themes between 1765 and 1766 however shows that this interpretation is inaccurate. It is true that the theme of rurality, the issue of the colonies and Baudeau's needs analyses indicate an original line of thinking, in which the public powers played the role of primary investor via a "land clearing company" or a "threefold royal messengers service". However, these contain no radical opposition to the liberal ideas developed by Quesnay.

Thornton had come to be seen as an influential social reformer and economic commentator. The 1850s were marked, in turn, by the publication of three books of verse. These works form a bridge linking his political tracts of the 1840s to the economic and philosophical works he penned in the 1860s and 1870s. Thornton's poetical compositions also serve to illustrate how the creative work of an economist can shed light on matters treated only cursorily in his earlier political tracts and later economic treatises.

First, it is demonstrated that what are today called 'rules' do not fit into a Friedmanite tradition, basically because of Friedman's refusal to allow any discretion to monetary authorities and his model-uncertainty argument. Second, it is shown that Keynes' monetary guidelines are also in fact 'rules', although his conception of a 'discretionary rule' is in sharp contrast with contemporary conceptions. What is ultimately at stake here is the capacity of collective bodies to behave efficiently, and the role played by uncertainty in the economy.

The properties of money neutrality and money endogeneity within the classical system are studied by reinterpreting these controversies through the analytical framework of the surplus approach as reconstructed by Sraffa [Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities.

Both narratives concur in the work of Mandeville. How, and to what extent, does the Mandevillean alliance of pride and greed account for social cooperation? Seeking to gratify his pride in a socially acceptable manner by accumulating wealth, man unintentionally creates the conditions that promote cooperation. Nevertheless, society remains the scene of conflicting forces. Social cooperation is unstable in being sought for reasons of gain in the zero-sum struggle for distinction.

While Smith indisputably considered the substitution of serfdom by wage labour as an improvement in both opulence and independence, we argue that he nevertheless saw the wage relationship as one founded on subordination. We then cast light on the material factors and symbolic mechanisms which, in his writings, explain how and why the worker agrees to this subordination. Finally, we endeavour to show that Smith's praise for the system of natural liberty as well as his repeated criticisms of merchants and capital owners aimed to transcend this issue.

After a brief reassessment of the main features of Ricardo's views on foreign trade, some basic questions are examined, concerning the method of analysis and the alleged invalidity of the labour theory of value at the international level. The enquiry goes on to state that, for Ricardo, there are no significant differences between domestic and international exchanges, and on this basis, proposes a simple and general rule explaining the flows of trade. The "principle of comparative advantage" and the "gains from trade" thus appear as simple unintended consequences of the decisions of agents in free markets. Finally, the characteristics of an international equilibrium and the nature and impact of destabilising shocks are analysed.

This paper re-examines Ruffin's reconstruction, and in particular his interpretation of Ricardo's three letters of October 1816 and suggests that it lacks textual and contextual support.

Author-X-Name-Last: Kurz Title: David Ricardo: on the art of "elucidating economic principles" in the face of a "labyrinth of difficulties" Abstract: The paper discusses David Ricardo's analytical achievements. These concern his approach to the theory of value and distribution; his analysis of the effects of different forms of technical progress on income distribution; his analysis of exhaustible resources in terms of differential rent; his discussion of machinery and induced technical progress; and his theory of foreign trade and the principle of comparative advantage. It is argued that Ricardo's analysis has been frequently misrepresented and is a great deal more sophisticated than is commonly acknowledged. There are still ideas in his writings that have yet to be fully explored.

Although this might be justified, there is a passage in this Ricardian textbook that is not Ricardian. The passage deals with Mill's analysis of the states of society, in which he underlines the laws of human nature conducive to capital accumulation. This paper investigates such states.

This article sets out a historical description of this rise towards its final phase, by examining economic discourses of academics on the Cambridge network. The central observation is that behind this process was a gradual acceptance of free trade, gradual in the sense that it was not as a sudden reaction to the repeal of the Corn Laws but with the changing portrayal of Ricardo as the economist of rent theory.

Her analysis is based on an analytical separation between two distinct ways of economic reasoning: the 'surplus based' and the 'demand and supply based' theories. Calling it an 'archaeological reconstruction' of the history of economic theories, I will examine how such an interpretation of theoretical shifts clarifies both the presuppositions behind analysing at the 'margin', and hence its radical departure from the conceptual content of the classical theory.

The roots of political economy in the philosophical traditions of natural law help to explain its individual and liberal elements, but also its further implications for the development of the notions of human sociability, the common good, public happiness, and the betterment of society. The convergence of these different elements is crucial for understanding the common features of the variety of approaches belonging to the broad categorisation of enlightened political economy.

In this rather crude and artless play, a liberal economist, a follower of Adam Smith and J.-B. Say, is lampooned as attempting to show how his duck can subsist without food. The duck naturally dies and the economist - and his profession - is denounced as a fraud. We have located the play, translated, and published it. We use it to shed light on the public perception of economics in nineteenth-century Greece and relate it to research on the appearance, perception, and criticism of economists and economics.

This article will show that although the two authors treated similar themes, i.e. information and knowledge, economy, law, and politics, they addressed them in a radically different way. Hayek's approach was more individualistic, more related to the economy, to the concept of spontaneous order and to the limitation of politics by the law. In contrast, Lippmann related information and knowledge to expertise, centred law around the interactions between individuals and connected harmony more to the politicians' actions.

Hayek's 'utility analysis and interest' Abstract: This paper argues that F.A. Hayek anticipated the notion of 'recursive utility' and analytically reconstructs his informal exposition of the optimal saving process. The scope of analysis is restricted to Hayek's largely unrecognised contribution in Utility Analysis and Interest in 1936, restated as chapters 17 and 18 in The Pure Theory of Capital, first published in 1941. It is shown that Hayek characterised efficient dynamic choice as an infinite series of two-period optimality conditions by transforming an infinite-horizon optimisation problem into a perpetual confrontation of current and prospective utility, that he hinted at the axiomatic base of stationary and weakly separable dynamic preferences, and that he endogenised the subjective discount rate to substantiate his claim that the interest-rate path in a perfect-foresight equilibrium is unidirectionally determined by the marginal productivity of investment (and not by thrift). Hayek's vision of dynamic social efficiency and dynamic equilibrium is completely characterised.

If individuals lack integrated preferences, as behavioural economics suggests they often do, consumers' surplus cannot be defined. However, Dupuit - the earliest theorist of consumers' surplus - did not assume integrated preferences. His concept of consumers' surplus can be interpreted in terms of the maximum yield of discriminatory prices. In principle, this can be measured without making assumptions about preferences, but (contrary to what Dupuit apparently thought) is not, in general, equal to the area under the observed demand curve.

Such comparisons arise from what he considered the usual components of interest: wealth, power, and dignity. The way in which interpersonal comparisons influence our individual welfare depends on how we compare ourselves to others. When we endeavour to surpass others in a vicious way, interpersonal comparisons produce either pleasure or pain for ourselves and pain for others; when we endeavour to surpass others in a virtuous way, interpersonal comparisons tend, under certain conditions, to generate only pleasure for ourselves and for others.

We analyse how their respective conception regarding this specific aspect was included in their analyses about what economics could say about fault, liability and compensation of victims in the case of accident and their respective views on the law. First, we show that the debate was a sequel of the discussions that took place in tort law from the 1930s to the 1950s. Second, we claim that their treatment of rationality strongly relates to their views about what the law should be and about what are the objectives and goals of the law.

It therefore illustrates numerous evidences of "fear of goods" in his economics, and aims to show that the notion might be considered as playing a quite important role in establishing connections between ideas that are apparently only weakly related. The article fosters an interpretation of the development of Keynes's theoretical arguments and proposed policy instruments for both domestic and global economy, as reactions to the "fear of goods" of capitalism, which Keynes saw as an inborn propensity of monetary economies of production.

The article gives a documentary account of the meeting and its background and of how the Society established the first international journal in economics.

From a methodological point of view, a common point in their analysis is their anti-teleological view regarding economics as a discipline. Also, in the Schumpeterian system, technology is the cornerstone of economic evolution and appears as the making of new combinations. In the Veblenian theoretical framework, the bearer of change is to be found, inter alia, in technology, just like in Schumpeter's works, although not without differences. They also share the opinion that technology revolutionises capitalism and has serious implications for its future as a system. Furthermore, regarding individualism, in his work Schumpeter stresses the importance of the social milieu on individual action, a fact which bears strong resemblance to the Veblenian notion of evolution as ‘depersonalized evolution’. In this sense, Schumpeter is very close to Veblen, although Schumpeter's approach could be classified in what is called institutionalist individualism, whereas Veblen could be classified as holist. Undoubtedly, the role of institutions is of great importance in both Schumpeter and Veblen. Ιnstitutions in the Schumpeterian schema play a central role closely related to the future of capitalism. Institutional and non-institutional factors enter into complex forms of interaction just like in Veblen's approach. There, institutions are part of the social milieu and their underlying framework, much wider than mere economic and social. Of course, the theoretical analyses of Schumpeter and Veblen are not devoid of differences springing mainly from their methodological approach such as the role of the individual in the capitalist process which is probably the most significant difference regarding the importance attributed to it in Schumpeter's early works. Also, the way technical change appears constitutes another difference. However, his views are quite close to Veblen's. After all, Schumpeter began to write in a social, political, theoretical and ideological environment at a time when evolutionary ideas dominated social thought.

Abstract: The aim of this research is to establish whether, and if so in what way, Hayek changed his mind about the Great Depression of 1929.The work is divided into two parts. In the first part, I present the ‘early’ Hayek of the 1930s. Hayek was the great rival of Keynes. Both explained the Great Depression, applying opposing business cycle theories. For Keynes, the crisis was caused by an excess of saving over investment; for Hayek, on the contrary, by an excess of investment over saving. In the early 1930s, Röpke attempted a synthesis, positing that a recession due to overinvestment can degenerate, as in 1929, into a depression caused by oversaving. Hayek examined and rejected Röpke's theory. In the second part, I present the ‘later’ Hayek of the 1970s. After years of silence and solitude, Hayek was unexpectedly awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics, precisely for the contribution he made in the 1930s to the theory of the business cycle. Hayek returned to his pursuit of the ghost of Keynes, debated with his friend and rival Friedman, re-examined Röpke's special case and, according to Haberler, changed his mind. In my conclusion, I attempt to resolve the dilemma.

We analyse how this transitional phase was perceived and interpreted in representative, more or less contemporaneous histories of economic thought: those by Luigi Cossa in 1880, by John Kells Ingram in 1915 (originally published in 1888), and by Charles Gide and Charles Rist in 1915. Despite their differences, all authors share the same conception of the structure of scientific laws, as well as the view that economics must be separated from liberalism.

Interestingly it seems that this was not always the case; he did not recommend employment creation under all conditions of excess labour supply. The great inflation of World War I and its aftermath left an indelible impression on him, and this mitigated his position on the importance of high levels of employment. In 1920 he recommended that inflation in the UK be controlled even if some unemployment would result, and there is at least some hint in his work that the relative importance to him of inflation and unemployment did not vary much over the remainder of his life.

In particular, Kuan Chung, Hsün Tzu and Ssu-ma Ch’ien explicitly discussed economic issues related to the division of labour, contributing sophisticated analysis on the subject. In this article, we first examine Kuan Chung and his followers’ fairly interesting analysis of the economies of agglomeration of specialists, and Ssu-ma Ch’ien's deep insight into the Taoist invisible hand of the market in coordinating the division of labour. The common ground between them is a sound understanding of the role of market exchange in facilitating the social division of labour, but the latter goes much further in appreciation of the spontaneous market order. We then turn to Hsün Tzu's profound scholarship of specialised learning or doing and his Confucian theory of the origin of social division, highlighting, in particular, his Confucian notion of natural equality and utilitarian account of the formation of society. Similarity in profundity and influence notwithstanding, of greater interest, appears to be the remarkable differences between the Chinese scholars and the philosophers of classical Athens in respect of their study of the division of labour, and we therefore investigate how and why the Chinese treatment contrasts thus sharply with the Greek/Europeans.

A simple neuron model and the theory of natural price in Adam Smith are taken as typical applications of causality plus normality and serve to argue that the deviations from a normal state can play two roles in economic theory: (1) the selecting of causes and causal explanations and (2) agency represented by the variables of a causal model.

Furthermore, the major flaws of the ‘Austrian’ interpretations put forward in recent years by Rothbard and Thornton are highlighted. This criticism provides an additional dimension to the view already expressed by Groenewegen against the new edition of Cantillon's Essai by Thornton. Finally, the connection between the Essai and mature classical economics is highlighted and the proposed ‘Austrian’ interpretation of Cantillon is strongly rejected.

It is argued that this approach must face the unpleasant dilemma of having to choose between endowing general equilibrium theory with an explanatory role that is marred by its illegitimate notion of capital as a single factor of variable form (Lucas); or alternatively, to consistently treat each capital good as a distinct factor of production, with the bitter implication that the theory must simply renounce to have a correspondence with observation (Hahn).

Instead of that treatise, Marshall published three books (Principles of Economics, Industry and Trade and Money Credit and Commerce). They cover only in part the ground that the treatise should have contained. That is why Marshall went on with the idea of publishing another final book. In this paper, we give a brief summary of the structure and the contents of this book, focusing more in detail on some subjects particularly interesting and meaningful.

In this paper, we show that there were two main views on the subject. There were those who assumed that the relationship between fertility rate and income was positive. On the other hand, there were those who raised the possibility that this linkage did not occur, and they emphasised that an increase in income did not necessarily lead to having more children. Following from Hicks’ methodological precept, the paper will show that their position on the issue was related to a socio-economic fact: the sibship size effect. We show that those who took the view that an increase in income leads to the desire to have more children did not take into consideration the sibship size effect, while those maintaining that there existed a negative relationship introduced into their utility function a sibship size effect.

The original formulations of this approach were based on the view, theorised by T. Veblen, that consuming certain goods makes it possible to identify with specific social groups. These analyses were explicitly alternative to the theories of consumption based on marginal utility. In the 1930s, however, the analyses of a second generation of women economists became exclusively empirical and the theoretical features that made the approach original and an alternative to marginalism were lost.

Abstract: This paper challenges the view of Jeremy Bentham as a primitive predecessor of rational choice theory and welfare economics. The psychological hedonism in Bentham is of a rather weak form -- net pleasure motivates behaviour, but we are not always capable of its maximisation. Thus, the outcome of our choices is not necessarily in our best interest and the aggregation of our revealed preferences is not necessarily a good indicator of general happiness. The bottom line is that the underpinnings of Bentham's utilitarianism are better aligned with contemporary psychological theory than previously thought, which puts his ethical thinking on firmer ground.

This paper seeks to defend John Stuart Mill from his critique. It argues that, contrary to what Marx alleged, these two economists have a great deal more in common on this topic than is frequently realised. Both on the theoretical level and on the political one, Mill's views about the relativity of capitalism seem very close to Marx's. This paper also suggests that Marx may have ignored Mill's insistence on the relativity of economic theories because it may have challenged his own “scientific socialism”.

Metallic and fiduciary media in Ferdinando Galiani's Della moneta Abstract: This paper proposes a new interpretative framework for Galiani's monetary theory. The main argument is that, by adopting “the methodology of successive approximations” (correctly attributed to him by Luigi Einaudi), Galiani investigated the theoretical foundations of the two archetypal moneys: metallic money and paper money. On these foundations, he developed the model of a complex monetary economy based on the coexistence of a metallic and a fiduciary circulation. The paper also illustrates how the experience of the “public banks” of Naples inspired his analysis, thus shedding new light on the theoretical and institutional richness of his monetary thought.

I focus on one particular member of the Santa Claus family that Samuelson was very sceptical about: homothetic general equilibrium models (where all agents have identical homothetic preferences). I argue that Samuelson's concerns about these models provide insights into how he viewed the relationship between the individual and the market, a relationship that has implications for not only his economic theorising, but also his broader political--economic vision. His criticisms are also relevant to some ongoing debates within contemporary economic theory.

By means of textual and contextual analysis, I argue that Dupuit endorsed the quantity theory based on the neutrality of money. For him, the value of money was determined by supply and demand. The only exception concerned the redistributive effects of gold between trading nations. Dupuit's approach to credit and his views on the issuance of banknotes were distinct from those of most French liberals. He did not consider credit to be capital, and he warned against the overissue of banknotes.

It proceeds by discussing (i) which assumptions on behaviour were used, laying particular stress on expectations and confidence, money illusion, social preferences and interaction, and individual character traits; (ii) how they influenced and determined the theories’ results; and (iii) how more recent behavioural research provides a better and empirically grounded understanding of these factors. For each element, the possibility of incorporating new insights into older models is discussed, and references to work which already does so are given.

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate that a comparative approach cannot exist without a transcendental dimension. Contrary to Sen, who claims that a transcendental theory is neither necessary nor sufficient in order to frame comparative judgments, it is shown that a transcendental dimension is a necessary, albeit not sufficient, condition of any comparative approach. To illustrate our thesis, we refer to the works of three great authors: Condorcet, Sen himself and the later Rawls.

It shows that Smith and Ricardo agreed in stressing the ineffectiveness of the sinking fund as a policy instrument targeted at public debt repayment and tax-burden relief, pointing out that its actual workings had paradoxically helped to increase rather than reduce British total debt-load. Moreover, their explanation of the sinking fund paradox integrates a defective fiscal commitment technology with powerful politicians’ incentives to siphon off the money stored in the sinking fund to meet sudden increases of public expenditure whenever the occasion arose.

Author-X-Name-Last: Hoover Title: Solow's Harrod: Transforming macroeconomic dynamics into a model of long-run growth Abstract: Modern growth theory derives mostly from Solow's “A Contribution to the Theory of Economic Growth” (1956). Solow's own interpretation locates its origins in his view that Harrod's growth model implied a tendency toward progressive collapse of the economy. He formulates his view in terms of Harrod's invoking a fixed-coefficients production function. We challenge Solow's reading of Harrod's “Essay in Dynamic Theory,” arguing that Harrod's object in providing a “dynamic” theory had little to do with the problem of long-run growth as Solow understood it, but instead addressed medium-run fluctuations, the “inherent instability” of economies. Solow's interpretation of Harrod was grounded in a particular culture of understanding embedded in the practice of formal modelling that emerged in economics in the post-Second World War period. Solow's interpretation, which ultimately dominated the profession's view of Harrod, is a case study in the difficulties in communicating across distinct interpretive communities and of the potential for losing content and insights in the process. Harrod's objects -- particularly, of trying to account for a tendency of the economy toward chronic recessions -- were lost to the mainstream literature.

Smith's general account of fashion is grounded on the transmission of fashion from the rich to the poor. However, when it comes to accounting for the generation of fashion amongst the wealthy class, Smith's account moves away from wealth distinctions and focuses instead on more sophisticated forms of social judgement. This paper examines Smith's general account of fashion between the classes and then identifies the refinements to the account that he provides when he considers the operation of fashion amongst the rich. The paper suggests that the operative distinction among the wealthy is not relative wealth, but rather reputation for taste, and concludes with a discussion of the “man of taste” in Smith's account of fashion.

Galbraith's Pigovian redistribution argument reconsidered Abstract: I argue that John Kenneth Galbraith's theory of the “dependence effect” in The Affluent Society provides a way to rescue A.C. Pigou's argument for wealth redistribution from a powerful objection. The objection is based on the unprovability of statements making interpersonal comparisons of utility. Galbraith's dependence effect theory allows him to present a version of the Pigovian argument that requires no such statements to be made. I argue that Galbraith's main piece of advocacy in The Affluent Society was for income redistribution, despite the fact that he claimed to be in favour of greater spending in the public sector rather than redistribution as such. I then show how my reading of the dependence effect theory helps to defend it against objections from Hayek and Rothbard. I end by discussing what improvements in economics a proper test of the theory would require and showing how my reading of it helps to reveal the ongoing importance of The Affluent Society to the understanding of political economy.

Even if Veblen had a strong intuitive grasp of the evolutionary forces operating in society, he was not always clear and explicit in developing his ideas towards a full-fledged, consistent evolutionary social theory. This paper argues that a relatively recent theoretical approach, gene-culture coevolution theory, has the conceptual apparatus to remedy this problem and thus make Veblen's ideas an important part of contemporary evolutionary thinking in social theory.

In particular, a new line of research that brings together the analysis of commercial society developed by Italian economists, and the canon of « civil life » elaborated within classical civic humanism and the natural legal tradition, has explained the deep ethical and social concerns inherent in the Italian approach to economic studies. This collection of articles takes stock of some of these achievements in scholarship and, at the same time, offers some new elements about the hermeneutical role played by these fundamental relationships between economics and ethics in identifying a more complex and multidimensional structure of scientific discourse. The articles are a selection of those presented at three conferences held in 2013, thanks to the support of the Luigi Sturzo Institute and Milan-Bicocca University, in Naples (Banco di Roma Foundation), Rome (Lumsa University) and Milan (Istituto Lombardo - Accademia di Scienze e Lettere), and they explore the thought of Antonio Genovesi as well as Eighteenth-Century Italian economic thought.

The line of descent from Genovesi to Beccaria in pre-Smithian Europe Abstract: The Italian Enlightenment is one of the great intellectual achievements of Europe’s siècle des lumières. Its two branches, the Lombard branch together with the Neapolitan, both cooperate to producing perhaps the greatest overall contribution of Italian culture to the development of a modern European tradition of civil rights and enlightened governance. After the Second World War, there has been an intense flourishing of Italian studies, with a worldwide readership, on the Enlightenment and on the Italian Enlightenment in particular. This has been a response to the emerging need for deeper research on the roots of western culture and on the civic values of our societies so much shattered by the traumatic experiences of a new kind of war savaging our cities especially in Europe. Economic analysis is the core issue of the Italian Enlightenment. The economic discipline – originally called Civil economy in eighteenth century Naples and Cameral science (or Public economy) in Milan – was indeed prominent in the historical experience of the Italian Enlightenment, although the prominence of the discipline is only imperfectly reflected in much of the recent historiography. This paper belongs to a new developing line of research on the Italian Enlightenment rooted in a retrieval of the economic discipline of the time. Italy is the country where the first economic Chairs worldwide were created in Universities during the second half of the eighteenth century. This article presents a comparison and reciprocal integration of the two main schools in Italy, the Milanese and the Neapolitan, through the works and influence of the two incumbents to the respective Chairs, Antonio Genovesi in Naples, from 1754, and Cesare Beccaria in Milan, from 1769. The two Professors turn out to have much in common and in particular a clear economic perspective appears to be at the root of the whole of their literary production. A special attention is given to the Lezioni of Genovesi and the Elementi of Beccaria, reflecting the actual teaching of the two masters in their respective lectures.

This literature has underlined how the discourse about virtues and vices was fundamental in order to establish how, in a political and economic context, a harmonious order could be established. On the basis of this main focus on virtues and vices, it was stated that Genovesi's thought is essentially different from Smith's one. In this article, I argue that the direct focus on questions of virtues and vices does not help capture the novelty introduced by these authors and the relational value of their agency theory.

By contrast with existing interpretations, the argument is that for Genovesi virtue is a significant ordering device of the polity: virtue mediates between passions and reason, and the human capacity for virtue helps individuals better to realise their different talents. This, in turn, means that virtue is central to the division of labour and the right proportions between different activities, including the balance between consumption and trade.

One of them criticises the hostility towards the increase in consumption, of Aristotelian origin. The other, which had starts with Petty, distinguishes more and less productive labours with an empirical approach. In both cases Genovesi provides an evolutionary view of economic development which is based on two processes: the increase in consumption and comforts, on the one hand, and the increase of intellectual labour, on the other. Genovesi’s original and decisive contribution on these themes have been always neglected.

Far from resting exclusively on the Mengerian unattended consequences of the uncoordinated behaviours of rational agents trying to minimise their transaction costs, Genovesi shows how governments can and do create fiat money with a positive value in connexion with their ability to raise taxes. For Genvesi both trust (à la Menger) and authority (à la Cartalist) are necessary to explain the positive value of money.

In this article, we provide a historical argument to problematise this opposition. We investigate the idea of prizes (“premi”) in the works of civil economist Antonio Genovesi, and its seeds in Thomas Aquinas’ thought. They both discuss if material rewards can crowd-in intrinsic motivations. Aquinas considered the crowding-out risks related to honour (award). Genovesi stressed the role of private prizes (incentives) and market in fostering the development of society, and claims that crowding-in is more common than crowding-out.

Lessons from the history of economic thought and central bank practice Abstract: We introduce the “minimalist–activist” spectrum as an analytical prism through which to view key aspects of central banking theory and practice. We focus on the activist end of this spectrum, concentrating on economic growth. We explore the theoretical roots of these ideas in the writings of Dennis Robertson. We illustrate central banking practice by detailing some approaches followed by central banks pursuing economic growth and development in the decades following the Second World War. History of monetary thought, monetary theory, and analysis of central bank practices blend together to illuminate key principles and practices of central banking.

From confidence to scepticism Abstract: The paper reconstructs the history of the experimental attempts to measure the cardinal utility of money between 1950 and 1985 within the framework provided by expected utility theory (EUT). It is shown that this history displays a definite trajectory: from the confidence in EUT and the EUT-based measurement of utility of the 1950s to the scepticism that, from the mid-1970s, haunted the validity of EUT as well as the significance of the utility measures obtained through it. By exploring the diverse aspects and causes of this trajectory, the paper covers new ground in the history of both decision theory and utility measurement.

We will show, along the lines of Le Jalle, that these similarities end on a divergent appreciation of the importance of envy in commercial societies for, contrary to Rousseau, Smith did not consider envy to be a major threat in commercial societies. Part 1 presents their quite similar definitions of envy based on three characteristics: envy comes from a disadvantageous comparison with others; it is painful and malevolent. Part 2, then, studies their moral psychology, or the way they understand the relationship between sympathy and pity on the one hand, and comparison and envy on the other. Here, we identify significant differences between our two philosophers which might explain why they have opposing views on the predominance of envy in commercial societies and on the issue of inequalities of wealth as we show in Part 3. Rousseau thinks that envy increases with wealth and inequality and thus pervades commercial societies, while Smith sees envy as the exception rather than the rule, and, moreover, does not provide a historical genesis for envy. For Smith, it is emulation rather than envy which is the driving force of the progress of society.

However, it has also led to a state of fragmentation in the profession and thereby increased the costs of neglecting the history of economic thought. This paper argues that historians of thought can help to counteract fragmentation because they are special generalists that fulfil multiple functions, for example, in the education of economists, the detection of blind spots in modern theories and the identification of routes for innovation by backtracking.

Adam Smith on the early and rude state of society and the age of hunters Abstract: Scholars tend to examine Smith's historical approach as a whole from the perspective of the four stages theory. This leads to a neglect of Smith's ability to use history in different ways as his different purposes require. This article distinguishes Smith's recourse to primitive society with respect to his purposes in Wealth of Nations and in Lectures on Jurisprudence. In the former, Smith analyses the capitalist economy, thereby laying emphasis on capital and the division of labour in his account of wealth. In the latter, he explains the evolution of institutions in order to challenge contractarian accounts of government.

Then, we locate the “material origin” of the models at the RAND Corporation in the late 1960s and show how it relates to the transfer of the RAND tool-box to the study of welfare issues. Finally, we describe how Arrow's and Schelling's modelling strategies relate to their conception of “science for action,” inherited from their “warfare” work.

One reason was that formal-axiomatic theories allowed mathematical economists to improve the conceptual and theoretical foundations of economics and thereby to increase its scientific status. Furthermore, the separation between mathematical economics and other behavioral sciences was not as clear-cut as often argued. While economists did not modify their behavioral assumptions, some acknowledged the empirical shortcomings of their models. The paper reveals the multifaceted nature of rational choice theories reflected in the changing interpretations and roles of the theories in those early years.

Clower's article “A Reconsideration of the Microfoundations of Monetary Theory” (1967) deeply influenced the course of modern monetary economics. On the one hand, it questioned Don Patinkin's (1956) project to integrate monetary and Walrasian value theory. On the other hand, it was the fountainhead of the cash-in-advance models à la Robert J. Lucas (1980), one of the most widely used approaches to monetary theory since the 1980s. Despite this influence, Clower's project to integrate monetary and value theory remains an enigma. My paper intends to resolve it. This is a difficult task since Clower never completed the monetary theory outlined in his 1967 article. To overcome this difficulty, I characterise the intellectual context from which Clower's contribution emerged and have recourse to a reconstruction of his project. This reconstruction is based on the analysis of published and unpublished materials, written by Clower before and after the 1967 article. It is argued that Clower sought to elaborate a disequilibrium monetary theory whilst retaining the two pillars of Patinkin's integration, i.e., the introduction of money into utility functions and the real-balance effect. I trace the origins, account for the originality, and discuss the challenges of this project.

Using network analysis, the many cross-references between entries in this work allow one to identify clusters of themes and literatures within the mass of materials. Pictures are presented that can be interpreted as ‘mind maps’ grouping the commercial literature by various topics and themes. The paper then focuses on one novel aspect of Postlethwayt's work, i.e., his inclusion besides entries on ‘practical’ topics of ‘political’ discussions, and identifies his sources.

Author-X-Name-Last: Davis Title: Specialization, fragmentation, and pluralism in economics Abstract: This paper investigates whether specialisation in research is causing economics to become an increasingly fragmented and diverse discipline with a continually rising number of niche-based research programmes and a declining role for dominant cross-science research programmes. It opens by framing the issue in terms of centrifugal and centripetal forces operating on research in economics, and then distinguishes descriptive from normative pluralism. It reviews recent research regarding the JEL code and economics’ J. B. Clark Award that points towards rising specialisation and fragmentation of research in economics. It then reviews five related arguments that might explain increasing specialisation and fragmentation in economics: (i) Smith’s early division of labour view, (ii) Kuhn’s later thinking about the importance of specialisation, (iii) Heiner’s behavioral burden of knowledge argument, (iv) Ross’s innovation-diffusion analysis and Arthur’s theory of technological change as determinants of specialisation in science, and (v) the effects of space and culture or internationalisation on innovation appropriation. The paper then discusses what descriptive pluralism implies about normative pluralism, and makes a case for multidisciplinarity over interdisciplinarity as a basis for arguments promoting pluralism. The paper closes with brief comments on the issue of specialisation and pluralism in the wider world outside economics and science.

Abstract: Karl Brunner and Axel Leijonhufvud constantly pointed out the prominence of imperfect information in macroeconomic analysis. This paper argues that, despite strong oppositions related to their rival schools of thought, this emphasis on informational problems led them to adopt similar views on many theoretical and methodological issues. These issues encompass the perception of the economic agent in society, the theory of price inflexibility and unemployment, the role of relative prices, the importance of signal-extraction problems and the position within the Marshall-Walras divide.

The writings of Keynes, and Tobin deal with the development of an investment theory based on the financial structure. However there is no mention Veblen, whereas he made an early American analysis of corporate governance structure. Our work is based on a critical review of the literature, which is guilty of omissions, lack of accuracy and errors of formalization. So that, we focus on the reasons why Veblen’s corporate financial analysis should not be forgotten.

Abstract: Léon Walras and the ordoliberals share the opinion that State intervention in favour of a competitive order is a central element of economic policy. Hence, can Walras be regarded as a forerunner of ordoliberalism? This study performs a methodological and ontological analysis of Walras’ and Eucken’s thoughts and sheds light on another common ground: philosophical idealism. By taking different inclinations – Walras’ Teleological Realism vs Eucken’s Historicist Conceptualism – these authors reveal different relations with reality and methodological stances, which result in opposing philosophies of History. Paradoxically, by revealing tenuous epistemological bonds, we set a new distance between Walras and the ordoliberals.

They have been associated because of their temporal proximity, use of the calculus of variations, and because of Hotelling’s citation of Ramsey. This connection however needs to be precisely investigated and characterized. On the basis of archival material, this paper shows that, on the interpersonal and theoretical ground, the connection is quite thin, but that significant parallels are found in Ramsey’s and Hotelling’s expectations with mathematical economics for the progress of science and for informing public decision.

Loria, a leader of the Italian and European economic science of his generation, was convinced that the true and most relevant conflict in the capitalistic society was that between rent and profit. Loria, following David Ricardo, considered this conflict much more radical than the profit-wages one, and therefore assigned to income redistribution a central place in his theory. Loria was an outstanding economist in the first part of his career (1780–1900), but underwent a sudden decline with the advent of the marginalist revolution, when his “classic” approach to political economy was considered obsolete and wrong. The paper claims that Loria’s system deserves to be reconsidered, and that his criticisms are particularly relevant in contemporary financial capitalism based again on rent seeking.

This is due to opposing views held by these two thinkers on this issue. However, Rousseau in the Confessions recorded a brief, but shrewd impressions on Hume’s Political Discourses, which he held before meeting Hume. In these comments, Rousseau, unlike his other French contemporaries, noted some republican aspects lurking in Hume’s political and economic essays. Moreover, after his two Discourses, Rousseau composed several other important works in which he revealed his more ‘mature’ economic arguments. Careful readings of these textual clues indicate that, in striking parallel with Hume, Rousseau conducts a thought experiment on the drastic change in the quantity of money and elaborates on the significance of industry and a certain type of luxury. Our purpose here is not to prove that Hume’s Political Discourses directly influenced Rousseau’s later writings, but to measure the extent to which Rousseau could share the Scot’s economic ideas by considering that the former may well have read the latter.

The young Sraffa shared with Hilferding an interest on the role played by the banks in the transformation of capitalism. The relationship among banking and industrial capital implied different business models of the German and UK banks and determined the resulting domination of financial capital on the economy. We deepen the methodological and practical similarities and differences of the two scholars, discussing the aspects that are still relevant today to understand financialisation and instability of capitalism.

First, the article turns to Ricardo’s assessment of the introduction of machinery and its likely effects on the laborer and the rate of profit and accumulation—one which went through a substantial revision (and reversal) between the first and third editions of his Principles of Political Economy and Taxation. Then, we discuss Marx’s own critical analysis of the historical development of machinery and its impact on the labor process, the so-called “compensation principle,” and how the rising organic composition of capital ostensibly generates a “redundant or surplus-population” during the course of capitalist development. We highlight Marx’s intellectual debt to Ricardo, John Barton (and George Ramsay) insofar as his theory of technological unemployment is concerned. Lastly, the article summarizes the views of Ricardo and Marx and offers some concluding remarks.

Conversely, after reviewing three theories of the just price, this paper proposes a classical liberal theory of the just price, called the “catallactic” theory, according to which our understanding of just prices must account for the background institutions of markets. Some transactions could not happen in a market without a certain theory of just prices and such transactions will feed into our understanding of markets, hence making just prices a de facto reality.

Ragnar Frisch on the socially optimal amount of work Abstract: In the late 1940s, Ragnar Frisch published two articles in Norwegian that constitute a pioneering attempt to apply welfare economics to a problem of economic policy. The main contention of the articles is that there exists a fundamental externality in the labour market because the marginal productivity of labour depends both on input in the individual unit and on total labour use in the economy. While inspired by the problems of post-war reconstruction, Frisch came to regard it as a general problem in a decentralized economy, and he explores its consequences for wage and tax policy. While Frisch attached great importance to the analysis, it has received little attention in the subsequent literature.

Levy 1999), dealing directly with decision under risk. In a few pages from book I, chapter 10, Adam Smith explicitly named “lotteries” various objects of choice (possible occupations, or investment opportunities, for instance) and provided an analysis which standard expected utility glasses would hardly fit. Taking this into account allows a better understanding of the part played by typical characters like the “projector” or the “sober man”, in such matters as Smith’s conception of entrepreneurship or of the credit market. The use of some modern concepts in decision analysis (inverse stochastic dominance, rank dependent utility, prudence toward risk), is a means to show the existence, in Smith’s work, of an original theory from decision under risk, where his analysis of lotteries in the Wealth of Nations is consistent with statements from his moral philosophy on asymmetric sensitivity to gains and losses and to the regulating part played by the impartial spectator.

We intend to focus here on Coletti's early career to understand how he rapidly managed to secure an enviable reputation. We examine Coletti's interventions on economic semiology and measurement of national wealth. We then move on to a series of theoretical debates (notably on Marx's theory of value) to which Coletti made significant contributions. Finally, we survey Coletti's fieldwork in agriculture and emigration, topics that allowed for connecting theoretical issues, methodological constraints, and empirical data.

This essay considers the “liberal phase” of Fascist Italy (1922–1925) as a case study to explain austerity as a full-blown rationality, that is intrinsically, and simultaneously, theory and practice, encompassing the moral, the economic and the political. My explanation moves beyond the interpretation of austerity as the post-1980, neoliberal recipe of price deflation and budget cuts. The Italian case draws attention to a neglected connection: that between austerity and repression. Austerity was the guiding principle of the Fascist economic agenda during the 1920s. It served to extinguish the effects of the democratisation process of the post-WWI years. The paper examines the work of four distinguished economists, Maffeo Pantaleoni, Luigi Einaudi, Alberto De Stefani and Umberto Ricci, who – in different roles as professors, journalists, advisors, and policy-makers – can be considered the source, the guardians and the enforcers of Fascist austerity.

We show that Keynes was interested in the coordination of long-term expectations regarding non-monetary assets prospective yields, while Friedman focused on the adaptation of short-term nominal expectations. Regarding the remedies to these disequilibria, both economists called for devices that aim to stabilise market expectations. As a direct outcome, Keynes designed policies that aim to stabilise the long-term state of expectations while Friedman basically aimed at the acceleration of the competitive adjustment process.

In keeping with Hayek's ideas in The Road to Serfdom, he proposed reducing state-led economic planning in Gibraltar alongside proposals to lift restrictions upon the operation of a free market in rents and labour. Hayek's proposals were rejected by both governments in Gibraltar and London because they were not compatible with the economic planning of colonial economies, inspired by Keynes, and provision of welfare systems in the empire inspired by Beveridge, both dominant ideas during the mid-1940s in government circles.

The Keynes Plan represents the culmination of his search for adequate institutions that guide economic activity for the public good. The reasons given by Keynes for the establishment of an International Clearing Bank are relevant in the modern international economy, given the current imbalances in international trade. As Keynes argued for the socialisation of investment as a method to achieve full-employment in the domestic economy, he argued for the “socialisation of trade” as a method to achieve international economic balance among nations.

The main focuses of interest are the existence of a natural morality independent of religious confessions, morality as the essence of religion, uselessness of theological speculation, justification of toleration for everybody, including atheists, and the miscarriage of any attempt at a philosophical theodicy. The paper explores also the connection between Ricardo's interest for theodicy and his views on the scope and method of political economy and suggests that his opinion that political economy should be a secular and value-free science close to mathematics depends precisely on theological reasons.

This essay addresses Keynes’ peculiar definition of religion, his description of his “religion,” and the sources of his religion. Keynes characterised religion as not only a personal experience of communion, but also as the pursuit of a better world for all people, although he showed some ambivalence about how this better world might come about, ultimately adopting a position similar to that of the nineteenth-century Christian Socialist Movement, to which he was connected through the Cambridge Apostles.

It is argued that they contain the foundations of his economic philosophy. Pigou's research on the meaning and content of the good merged into his definition of welfare, and his interest in religion as a subjective experience resurfaced in the subjective framework of his economics. A methodological pragmatism informed his economics as well as his ethics; moreover, the endorsement of interpersonal comparisons of the good in the ethical texts was consistent with Pigou's adoption of utility comparisons in welfare economics. Pigou's philosophical pessimism was reflected in his analysis of the economic evils of society, eventually leading to his advocacy of governmental intervention to foster economic welfare. The article contends that Pigou's philosophy derived not only from Sidgwick, as commonly believed, but also from G.E. Moore's Principia Ethica.

In this paper, it is suggested that the only accurate part of this statement relates to the century in which Henry Sidgwick lived. It is argued that modern readers lack sensitivity to questions of faith and religiosity that were commonplace in the later nineteenth century, and that to have doubts in an Anglican faith did not necessarily imply any weakening of Christian faith. Furthermore, a misreading of Sidgwick as a moral philosopher in the modern sense neglects Sidgwick's central role in a Moral Sciences Tripos that included logic and political economy. Only after Marshall extracted political economy and political science from the Moral Sciences Tripos in 1903 did that Tripos become the foundation for a new Philosophy Tripos, and it is an error to read that later configuration back into the Tripos that Sidgwick led from 1883 to 1900.

Paradoxically, his argument runs alongside a condemnation of the quest for personal enrichment and the pursuit of self-interest. This apparent contradiction can be resolved if it is understood within the framework of a duty of stewardship, according to which every man has to act as God would have done in his place. Our description of this duty leads us to outline the concept of work in Calvin's thought, and to locate it within the context of Max Weber's understanding of the ascetic Calvinist interpretation of work.

In the first section, I consider how selfish behaviour, or egoism, became treated as a major threat endangering the creation of industrial society by those concerned about the diffusion of political economy. I then summarise the methodological critique set forth in the Cours, before connecting this critique to the economic content of the Système and the concept of altruism. In the following section, Spencer's view of altruism is contrasted to that held by Comte, and then I consider the reaction of French political economists, defending the moral value bought about by their science. In the final section, I explain how the Comtean approach was re-enacted by Durkheim and then by Mauss, at the head of the “sociology of religion” section of L'Année sociologique, the Durkheimian journal, to give birth to the theory of gift-giving behaviour that Mauss used to critique political economy in the 1920s.

Reading Ibn Rushd (Averroes) Abstract: In the Middle Ages the major concept through which economic matters are analysed and evaluated is the “lawful”, in Arabic jâ’iz, concept. It claims to establish whether a gain, a profit, a contract is lawful or not: that is the main question theologians examine when they are addressing the issue of appreciating any economic fact. In our study, we analyse the criteria of the “lawfulness” as found in the economic parts of Ibn Rushd's work entitled Bidâyat al-mujtahid wa nihâyat al-muqtaṣid (English translation: The Distinguished Jurist's Primer). Our thesis is inspired essentially by Raymond De Roover's studies on the economic thought in the Middle Ages. De Roover shows that the criteria for lawfulness are to be found in the nature of the contract between partners: a gain is lawful if the contract which generates it is lawful. Our study essentially consists in a text analysis.

Everything had to be changed, including religion and its relation to political economy. In this paper, I examine: (i) the recurring problem of religion, raised by Saint-Simon as early as his first text; (ii) the emergence of the economic problem of identifying production with politics; (iii) and finally, the metamorphosis of the Christian religion into a moral and industrial religion.

Charles de Coux and the dream of a Christian political economy Abstract: During the first decades of the nineteenth century, the emergence of “économie politique chrétienne”, with the aim of founding a new school of political economy, marked the French intellectual landscape. The name of J.-P.A. de Villeneuve-Bargemont is usually cited in this context. But, before Villeneuve-Bargemont, Charles de Coux had launched this approach powerfully. The present paper first states the circumstances of Coux's writings and their specific intellectual context. His project is then analysed, and his critique of political economy, his fundamental idea for an alternative approach, and his description of the logic of an industrial economy are discussed. Finally, the solutions he proposed to eradicate pauperism are examined. A brief statement of the significance of his work and legacy concludes.

He thereby tried to rid economic thought of references to conflicts and thus pursued the physiocrats’ programme rather than Adam Smith's. In fact, Stewart claimed that (i) self-love depends on an accommodation to Providence, by which individuals restrain their passions; (ii) self-love fosters actions that lead to a direct increase of public happiness; (iii) the perfectibility of mind allows to dismiss “legal despotism”, which can be replaced by religious education.

By refuting the very logic of “extrinsic titles” of the Scholastics and their extension later on by the Jesuits, the liberals Jansenists redefined “interest” as the price to be paid for the use of money.

This is reflected in divergent interpretations of scholastic economic thought. Two conceptual coordinates are used to put those discussions into a common perspective: (1) the distinction between agency-sensitive vs. agency-neutral exchange; (2) the divide between intellectualism and voluntarism. While focussing important theological influences on key issues of economic thought, this allows for a critical account of continuity of problems, while at the same time taking seriously the profound transformation of knowledge systems since the scholastic era.

Musgrave in his Theory of Public Finance (1959). The concept of merit wants can only be understood as a complement to the concept of public goods. I suggest that Musgrave invented the concept to apprehend some considerations that have been left out in the process of consolidation of the concept of public good. The narrow definition of the latter could not account for important state responsibilities that have been asserted by many economists.I attempt to reconstruct Musgrave's intellectual background. First, I select examples of arguments for state intervention from authors influential in Musgrave's formative period (J.S. Mill, H. Sidgwick, E. Sax, H. Ritschl, G. Cassel, A. Wagner). Second, I argue that the invention of the concept in the 1950s reflected contemporary concerns for redistributive policies. I show that critics of the New Welfare approach (G. Colm, A. Hansen, W. Heller, H. Bowen) have held similar views, which were also in line with the liberal policy spirit of the post-war era in the United States.

The debate on determinism and mathematics at the end of the nineteenth century Abstract: Mathematics and determinism may seem two very different topics, especially when mathematics is associated with the social sciences and economics. Nonetheless, this has not always been the case. In 1873 a curious debate took place in Paris between a young Léon Walras and Pierre Emile Levasseur concerning the compatibility of mathematics, economics, and free will. It was the consequence of a Laplacian view of mathematics that Walras inherited from physics, a view that associated mathematics with a peculiar philosophical conception. We reconstruct the historical context of the debate, the particular view of mathematics that lead to it, and then analyse the attitudes of Cournot, Walras, and Levasseur on the issue. We show that the mathematisation of economics was deeply influenced by how physicists understood mathematics.

We demonstrate that all the trading countries eventually reach the stationary state, though this process is not monotonic and the dynamics of capital and population may actually push some countries towards the stationary state and others away from it. We also use our model to assess an argument which Malthus employed in the second edition of An Essay on the Principle of Population (1803) to support a policy of agricultural protectionism.

Education was one of the areas that became very important to the activity of international agencies. This article analyses the changing views about education of the World Bank, from the late forties to the mid-eighties, and the way its priorities and approach to education were moulded by the dissemination of human capital theory. The analysis will emphasise the difficulties faced to the diffusion of this approach in a context largely favourable and dominated by manpower planning and different policy views about education, providing an interesting example about the complexities of the dissemination of economic ideas within international organisations.

Since the 1970s, in particular in the French language literature, Georgescu-Roegen's ecological claim has often been considered as a promotion of degrowth. In this paper, I challenge this usual interpretation. I conclude that Georgescu-Roegen might be a source of inspiration for degrowth defenders only in a very narrow sense. A cautious reading of his bioeconomic paradigm shows that Georgescu-Roegen's stance was different from the growth/degrowth debate, and might be more accurately linked with an “agrowth” option.

Wade Author-X-Name-Last: Hands Title: The road to rationalisation: A history of “Where the Empirical Lives” (or has lived) in consumer choice theory Abstract: This paper examines the different ways that economists have characterised the empirical content of modern consumer choice theory. There has been general agreement among economists that each stage in the development of the theory has been associated with an improvement in the theory's empirical content, and yet there has been no agreement about what exactly the empirical content of consumer choice theory is at any stage in the process. I call this the problem of observational ambiguity. The paper historically documents this problem, links it to various theoretical developments, and relates it to debates in contemporary economic theory.

The difficulties encountered in the various attempts to define the marginal product either of capital or of a capital good are recalled and the conclusion is drawn that neither concept appears theoretically sound. This historical reconstruction is combined with critical discussion of the recent attempt by Paul Samuelson to determine income distribution by means of the “Master Function”, a device previously developed and presented by Samuelson himself with Erkko Etula, and its “non-neoclassical” marginal products. Rather than the existence of a continuum of alternative technical possibilities, this construction assumes the simultaneous use of a discrete number of methods of production for the same commodity. Even though each technique employs the inputs in fixed proportions, the coexistence of various techniques permits the full employment of an arbitrarily given vector of input endowments. As is shown here, however, the coexistence of methods required for the differentiability of the Master Function can take place, if heterogenous capital goods are used in production, neither in the case with stationary relative prices nor in the non-stationary Arrow–Debreu framework.

We examine Hansen's ideas and those of young economists associated with him, notably Evsey Domar, Everett Hagen, Benjamin Higgins, Alan Sweezy, and Paul Samuelson, who were the economists who kept the doctrine alive in the 1950s and to whom Summers and others taking up the idea recently turned. Their ideas are contrasted with the theories of stagnation associated with Josef Steindl and Joseph Schumpeter. It is a label for a historical thesis about the American economy, which, initially seen as distinct from Keynes General Theory, came to be seen as a theoretical proposition based on Keynesian theory. It is argued that the idea of secular stagnation had a political dimension, connected to the New Deal and the Cold War and changing conceptions of economic maturity.

Abstract: Samuelson often regretted that Leontief and Sraffa never cited each other (true), and seemed to pay no attention to the other's work (false). In the Foley interview Leontief suggested he never met Sraffa (false). Archival evidence shows that in the 1940s Sraffa studied Leontief's classic The Structure of American Economy; he also owned the rare mimeographed supplement, and did some calculations on Leontief's first input–output table. Leontief and Sraffa met in Cambridge (UK) in 1950 and later. In the 1980s Leontief wrote an ambitious empirical paper on technological change, rejected by the AER, and not widely read. It studied some Sraffian topics without Sraffian terminology. I construct a hypothetical reswitching example using Leontief's statistics.

In the world's largest financial centre of the time, UK investors were familiar with the concept of correlation and financial advisers’ suggestions were consistent with the recommendations of modern portfolio theory in relation to portfolio selection strategies. From the 1870s, there was an increased awareness of the benefits of financial diversification – primarily putting equal amounts into a number of different securities – with much of the emphasis being on geographical rather than sectoral diversification and some discussion of avoiding highly correlated investments. Investors in the past were not so naïve as mainstream financial discussions suggest today.

Both views were historically informed but led in contrary directions in the highly polarised politics of early twentieth-century Britain, the former linked to support for free trade and liberalism as the basis of economic welfare, the latter to support for Conservative tariff reform and imperial reconstruction.

The massive note issuance by the National Debt Office led to different exchange rates and two units of account. The situation gave rise to an early paper standard theory formulated by Anders Wappengren, a well-read merchant who was strongly influenced by Adam Smith and the French physiocrats. Wappengren had a firm understanding of monetary systems and the adjustment mechanism under floating exchange rates, including such concepts as purchasing power parity and price stickiness.

Abstract: This paper analyses Patinkin's appraisal of Keynes’ concept of involuntary unemployment while focusing on his reading of the General Theory Chapter 19. On several critical issues, Patinkin departs from Keynes’ original matters of concerns. He leans against an individual criterion for unemployment and implicitly endorses Wicksell's understanding of voluntary unemployment as chosen leisure. His appraisal of involuntary unemployment as a disequilibrium phenomenon ultimately relies on nominal rigidities and assumes the existence of a competitive adjustment process. On all these three critical points, Patinkin departs from Keynes but also initiates the contemporary New Keynesian programme that went even further from Keynes.

Abstract: This paper discusses proposals for tabular standards in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In particular, we focus on Keynes’ proposal for an international tabular standard (ITS) as the gold standard unravelled in the 1930s. The paper explains the origins of Keynes’ ITS proposal which pegged the value of an international reserve to a broad index of primary commodities, weighted in terms of their value in world production. We argue that the ITS should be viewed as an important and enduring component of Keynes’ ideal long-run vision for anchoring the international monetary system, even post-Bretton Woods.

From a reading of Cournot's works on philosophy and economics we show three reasons which explain the Cournot's refusal. First, Cournot does not attach the same importance to the theorems proposed by Walras. Second, these theorems enable Walras to defend an economic system that he considers to be truer than any other while Cournot believed that the economy could be subject to various forms of mathematical representations. Third, Cournot does not refer to the same conception of mathematics of Walras.

Textbooks and the dissemination of human capital theory in applied economics Abstract: Textbooks are an important subject for the study of science in general and economics in particular. In this paper, we analyse at the process of the acceptance of human capital theory through its inclusion in economics textbooks by looking at two specialized fields to which this theory became highly influential: labour economics and the economics of education. The analysis will compare the patterns of the dissemination of these new theoretical developments in a more consolidated field and in an emergent field of economics research with a particular focus in the early stages of that dissemination process.

We discuss first Georgescu-Roegen's neglected contributions to this subject, though he pioneered the definition of probabilistic preference in 1936 and came back on the subject intensively in the 1950s. We then present Marschak's (and his co-authors) attempts at axiomatising a probabilistic model of choice in the same period. The third contribution studied is that of Quandt, who provides a more operational style of modelling. This set of contributions is discussed against a general background of transformations of the theory of rational behaviour and of the methods proper to it.

Among the names mentioned in the literature, one economist is conspicuous by his absence: Alfred Marshall. However, the relations between Marshall and Perroux are manifold and are far from accidental: not only because Perroux was a careful reader of Marshall but also and moreover because they both have an important common ground, which affected their perspectives. The main aim of this paper is to inquire into the aspects that characterise Marshall's and Perroux's approaches, stressing their affinities and underlining their common roots.

New insights based on an unpublished manuscript Abstract: This article introduces Buchanan's comment on Tiebout's “A Pure Theory of Local Public Expenditures”. It helps us to understand the nature of the relationship between Buchanan and Tiebout. Usually, it is claimed that Buchanan modelled Tiebout's insights, that there exists a Buchanan-Tiebout hypothesis, and that Buchanan in 1965 complemented what Tiebout had written in 1956. We show that Buchanan could not have written “An Economic Theory of Clubs” as a complement of “A Pure Theory of Local Public Expenditures”. He disagreed with Tiebout's ideas on mobility because he saw mobility as a cause of inefficiencies and not a cause of homogeneity in groups. This is what we show by putting Buchanan's comment on Tiebout into historical perspective. It appears that Buchanan interpreted Tiebout 1956 from the perspective of his works on fiscal federalism from the early 1950s. We show that there is a continuity between Buchanan's work from the early 1950s and his works in the early 1970s; and Buchanan's way of reading Tiebout is part of it. Hence, when he wrote “An Economic Theory of Clubs”, Buchanan was convinced that Tiebout was wrong and that he was offering an alternative framework for public economics.

Officially modelled after the Cowles Foundation for Economics Research, it reflected Jacques Drèze's broad experiences in the USA during the 1950s when modelling techniques were not yet anchored in disciplines. CORE gained an international reputation, however, through the rather exclusive community of Neo-Walrasian economists represented by Werner Hildenbrand, Jean Gabszewicz, and Gérard Debreu. After this community modified the disciplinary divisions at CORE, the influence of CORE on continental economics occurred mainly through disequilibrium economics, which still represents a “French accent” in modern macroeconomics. At the same time, operations research and econometrics prospered at CORE while receiving scant attention from economists. This essay tells the story of how CORE changed continental economics through the unique career path of its founder, Jacques Drèze.

This paper considers Gustavo Del Vecchio's active role on the selection committee in recommending Pigou for the Feltrinelli Prize and the related correspondence between Pigou, Piero Sraffa, and Del Vecchio. One of the most significant discovery reported in this paper is Sraffa's contention, expressed in an unpublished letter to Del Vecchio, that Pigou had “never been honoured in proportion to his merits.” Journal: The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought Pages: 274-286 Issue: 2 Volume: 24 Year: 2017 Month: 3 X-DOI: 10.1080/09672567.2016.1168860 File-URL: http://hdl.handle.net/10.1080/09672567.2016.1168860 File-Format: text/html File-Restriction: Access to full text is restricted to subscribers.

As witnessed by some authors’ positions in the 1970s, this definition does not highlight whether or not it is an exogenous and an unintended effect. These ambiguities raise the issue of the relation between the basic formalisation of an externality (a dependence of individual objective functions) and its economic meaning (a missing market). Finally, they also raise the more general issue of the dilution of externality in the larger notion of individual interaction.

In Britain, Mill's work set off a dialogue among mainstream economists. Contributors included Thornton, Fawcett, and Cairnes from Mill's “school,” as well as Jevons and Marshall who while sympathetic endorsed the less radical reform of profit sharing. Ironically, much of the socialist left, including Beatrice Potter (Webb), praised Mill's concerns, but rejected producer co-operatives in favour of nationalisation. By the early twentieth century, Mill's message resonated only with the guild socialists who kept the radical argument for producer co-operatives alive. The subtext of the paper is that modern liberals have too conveniently lost connection with this important history and its radical/liberal message of capitalism as a transitional mode.

Commons Abstract: This article examines the contribution of J.R. Commons to race relations, competition, and institutional change. One result of our study is that, in his analysis of institutional dynamics in the United States, Commons’ rejection of laissez-faire is derived from a racist analytical framework: the “superior races” should be protected from the “inferior races”. Another result is that Commons adopts a neo-Lamarckian framework which takes education as the basis for the assimilation of “inferior races”. This article then shows that policies often defended as progressives, as education policies, may be derived from racist foundations. The final remarks single out the ambiguous connection between race and culture revealed by Commons’ approach.

After Harrod's seminal paper in 1939 they try to unearth the hidden variables that might allow the adaptation of the warranted rate, determined from the supply side, to demand-growth expectations that supposedly have an autonomous source. The purpose of this paper is to show that an investment function based on the accelerator and integrated in a supermultiplier is able to shape the warranted rate in consonance with the autonomous trend. The supermultiplier reveals itself as a stable and stabilising mechanism when demand is split into permanent and transient. Hopefully the paper will build bridges with other Keynesian, Kaleckian and Sraffian strands that have so far dismissed the supermultiplier solution because of its apparently inherent instability.

It offers a non-canonical typology comprising three alternative approaches, distinguished on the basis of the way they conceive of the link between statements, old and contemporary: the extensive, the retrospective, and the intensive approaches. It shows that the latter potentially challenges contemporary knowledge by introducing statements which do not belong to it. Despite its being a heuristic, it appears as a privileged route by which the history of economic thought can begin to engage with economic theory.

Forbonnais and the intricate history of circular flow analysis in the 1750s Abstract: Circular flow analysis in mid-18th century France is normally associated with the writings of François Quesnay. From the early 1750 s, however, François Véron de Forbonnais developed a distinct theory of circulation in then well-known contributions to the Encyclopédie and his Elémens du commerce of 1754. This article argues that like Quesnay, Forbonnais was in part inspired by Cantillon’s Essay on the Nature of Trade in General. But while Quesnay gave original developments to the real aspects of Cantillon’’s analysis of circulation, Forbonnais focussed on developing monetary aspects, including arguments for the ‘non-neutrality’ of money and an original theory of the money interest rate.

Authors of the seventeenth century attributed to labour – as “form” and “father” – a fundamental role in producing wealth, and they considered land as “matter” and “mother”, while Physiocrats attributed reproductive capacity only to land, and viewed labour as either mere support of nature or “sterile” transformative activity. These conceptions about the formation of wealth emerged not only from theoretical analyses but also from metaphors which had an important role in providing preliminary conceptual frameworks.

There are connections and similarities between the two-sided understanding they both had of the division of labour. One of these coincidences is their assessment of the effects it has, jointly with the extension of the market, that points to the vulnerability of the labouring poor. Exploring this coincidence brings light to their understanding of the social consequences of the market and the possible solutions they propose.

The paper’s purpose is to confront this analysis with his conception of justice, rooted in his utilitarianism. Mill’s attachment to justice arises in a particular context, as the result of various intellectual influences. On the one hand, it underlies his concern for the situation of women on the labour market and his insistence on the role played by custom and laws in wage differences between men and women. On the other hand, the shortcomings of Mill’s analysis appear consistent with his vision of equal justice and freedom for women.

In the first part, I outline the evolution of the notion of altruism with its critical dimension of political economy by following the intellectual sequence from Auguste Comte to Pierre Bourdieu, through Emile Durkheim and Marcel Mauss. In the second, I consider the forms of transaction to which these sociologists report altruism and its derivatives. In the last section, I examine recent developments on altruism as a result of developments on performativity on the one hand and market design on the other.

Actually, Wicksell aimed at implementing such a programme in order to enlarge political economy as a “practical science”. It is articulated around three main features: a criticism of the marginal theories, the redefinition of society as a whole, and the advent of social justice. Indeed, Wicksell claimed that economic and social problems may be solved only by a complete social reorganisation. Hence, I show that Wicksell’s social reform programme drives his particular view of and approach to political economy.

With his concept of balance mechanics, the German economist Wolfgang Stützel developed a framework for comparing different theories of business cycles which helps to understand the reasons for this inadequacy. This paper works out Stützel’s considerations and his four “model cases” of cycles more systematically and shows how the theories of the business cycle Stützel mentioned are related to theories discussed today. Modern business cycle theories did not cover all “model cases” and therefore had a blind spot.

It shows that the assumption of unbounded resource productivity in the work of Solow and Stiglitz–and the related concepts of substitution and technical progress–rest on a model-based methodology. On the other hand, Georgescu-Roegen’s assumption of thermodynamic limits to production, later revived by Daly, comes from a methodology of interdisciplinary consistency. I conclude that neither side provided a definitive proof of its own claim because both face important conceptual issues.

Abstract: The article addresses the dark side of capitalism as an economic system, as identified and highlighted in orthodox, laissez-faire, including classical and neoclassical, economics. While orthodox economics is widely regarded as apologetic with respect to capitalism, still it to some extent recognizes or implies the latter’s dark side and therefore its duality and complexity in terms of its economic and other outcomes. The paper identifies and considers certain salient manifestations of this face of capitalism such as those in the market, in economic welfare, in economic structure and the distribution of wealth, and others. The overall finding is that even orthodox economics does not consider capitalism to be an absolute good and an immutable, eternal, and perfect economic system, and instead acknowledges and emphasizes its relative character in societal and historical terms and its various adverse dimensions and imperfections. The paper contributes to a better understanding of classical and neoclassical economics’ treatment of capitalism in relation to its conception within classical sociology.

It is difficult to make sense of the explanatory value of Hotelling’s model based on philosophical accounts that emphasize logical validity, representational adequacy, and robustness as determinants of explanatory value. However, these accounts are misleading because they overlook the context within which the explanatory value added of a model is apprehensible. We present Hotelling’s model in its historical context and show why it is an important and explanatory model despite its apparent deficiencies.

The interplay between these two systems involves both positive and negative feedback mechanisms so that an individual system of rules can produce higher order regularities that preserve their existence over time. Our contribution complements existing work on Hayek’s cognitive theory by providing insights on how Hayek’s approach to expectations can inform modern behavioural economics.

His life and work are portrayed along five dimensions: the innovative social scientist (section 2); the erector of the Austrian School in its formative decades (section 3); the synthesiser of socio-economic ideas (section 4); the teacher to whom scientific credit has been granted unfairly seldom (section 5); the connector to contemporaneous paradigms of economic sociology, especially the ones of Max Weber and Vilfredo Pareto (section 6).

Applications of aspiration-based satisficing to negotiations are a case in point. Background, core ideas and theoretical components of so-called Dynamic Aspiration Balance Theory (DABT) are re-introduced to show that DABT can account for bargaining behavior in terms of what has become known as fast and frugal heuristics. A revival of interest in so-called (semi-) normative theories that can be traced back to forerunners from the 1970s and 1980s may open up promising perspectives for future research.

This paper argues otherwise by showing how Petty’s scarce discussions of First Principles and mechanical philosophy could be viewed as constituting a theoretical background against which his insistence on using arithmetic to account for social phenomena could be interpreted more charitably. Reconstructing Petty’s philosophy also helps answering why the accuracy of his numbers was not of primary importance for his scientific projects.

Abstract: “To each according to his ability, to each ability according to his works” constitutes the founding slogan of the Saint-Simonian doctrine (1825–1832). A century and a half would pass before Sen and Nussbaum developed their capability approaches, designed to consider issues of human development and quality of life. Given the prominence of capability approaches in the context of modern theories of justice, and perhaps also due to the natural analogy between the words ‘capacité’, ‘ability’, and ‘capability’, there is a clear tendency in the literature to analyse the Saint-Simonians’ contributions to justice based on the assumption that there is a conceptual link between the terms capability and ability. This paper claims, however, that the elision of these terms is unjustified, and is a source more of confusion than of enlightenment. Conversely, by disentangling these two concepts we can shed light on the contextual reasons for the divergence between these approaches to justice, and provide new insights into both. A capability is an evaluative space for justice, while an ability is a property of individuals. The former is defined essentially in the domain of consumption and individual accomplishment, while the latter is clearly seen as a contribution to the theory of efficient production. Finally, these differences reveal a contrast in the focus values: the ability approach insists on efficiency, while the capability approach focuses on agency. If an analogy with modern theories of justice could be established, the Saint-Simonians would appear closer to modern theories of equity, with their focus on merit.

Reference is made both to his published analyses of discrimination, in his textbook and elsewhere, and to archival materials on his interactions with female economists, including testimonials he wrote on their behalf. His attitudes appear paradoxical in that he emphasized the problem of discrimination and was very supportive of women but this did not lead him to challenge some of the attitudes he held about women in general.

The discovery of the book, which borrows a great deal from Du Pont and Schlettwein, leads to revisit the experiment and to revise the traditional view of Schlettwein.

The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of Spencer's work on economic thought. It also analyses the way in which this work was interpreted by the Italian economists. In particular, it investigates the influence of Spencer's theory of evolution on the thought of Pantaleoni (1857–1924) and Nitti (1868–1953). These two representative Italian scholars were on opposite sides for their economic methodology and the issue of government intervention in the economy. The paper clarifies whether their two divergent visions on social change could both be in accordance with Spencer ideas.

Abstract: Jean-Baptiste Say dedicated a significant part of his work to monetary questions, as much to explain the monetary practices of his period and to propose concrete measures to improve certain elements, as to develop theoretical reflections on the role of money in the mechanisms that political economy sheds light upon. His thought for that matter is not always devoid of contradictions when it comes to reconciling the results of observation with certain dimensions of his analysis. The article explains his conception of money. A variation in its quantity has an impact not only on prices, but also on the real economy, favourable when this issue is slow and moderate, but negative, on the other hand, when it is fast and large-scale. This leads to the measures of monetary policy recommended by Say.

Part two analyses how elements from Say's thought were introduced into Ricardo's theory of rent through this edition. These elements conveyed ideas which were definitely at odds with Ricardo's theory and misrepresented Ricardo's true concept of differential rent which was central to his theory.

The first is to explore Thorstein Veblen's contention that the theory of discounted earnings streams is inexorably linked to monopoly power. This contention has contemporary relevance. Modern price theory follows Irving Fisher's original claim that discounted streams has universal application and is consequently divorced from any explicit reference to industrial structure. The second purpose is to examine Veblen's anthropological claim that the transformation of discounted “make-believe” streams into present values reinforces a spiritual aura surrounding financial elites and their social standing.

This article uses archival material in the form of marginal annotations made by G. L. S. Shackle to determine contemporary reading responses to the theoretical developments of the 1930s. Shackle's unique reading style that includes legible, dated, annotations and the fact that a substantial part of his academic library survives gives us a unique vantage point from which to explore anew this period of intellectual history.

In the early stages of growth, capital increases faster than population, so the actual wage rises above the minimum. Thereafter, the economy grows with a tendency for the population to increase faster than the capital while limiting the actual wage below the decreasing maximum until it enters a stationary state and the actual wage and profit rates are reduced to their minimum. Such a theory has been attributed to Ricardo by some scholars, but Torrens proposed a more fully developed account than Ricardo's.

The goal was to study the formation of economic plans and the determination of market prices when individuals were supposed to consume, produce, and hold commodities. I show that since the early 1950s, Robert W. Clower used the “stock-flow” price theory to offer microfoundations to a Keynesian business cycle model. I analyse the origins of this microfoundation programme, trace its development, and discuss its fate.

The focus is on their combination of a faith in economic science and a passionate public spirit. The article aims to substantiate two related arguments. The first is that these “new economists” were public intellectuals, regularly addressing public opinion, and engaging with the major economic and social issues of the times; the second is that their value judgements gained the upper hand over scientific discourse when they were confronted with the 1970s inflation.

An Indian contribution to the idea of progress based on Mahadev Govind Ranade's works, 1870–1901 Abstract: By the late nineteenth century, the school of “Indian Political Economy” was founded to understand India's extreme poverty and deindustrialisation. This paper examines how Mahadev Govind Ranade (the school's founder) conceptualised progress by tracing its origins and evaluating how it was formulated to reconcile theory with India's political and socio-economic reality. Ranade identified specific Indian determinants of progress: the centrifugal nature of Indian politics; the dependence of a colonial economy; and its refutable role within the international division of labour theory.

This paper tries to present the essence of Storch's innovative ideas and contrasts them with contemporary British and French economic thinking on value, land rent, foreign trade, money and currency, “inner goods,” and development. It is argued that Storch was an economist of moderate impact on literature but of high professional relevance.

We argue that this can be partly explained by a failure to have distinguished between two divergent approaches to the proposal: the “Currie–Fisher” (or “transaction”) approach, on the one hand, which would preserve banking; and the “Chicago Plan” (or “liquidity”) approach, on the other hand, which would abolish banking. This division among 100% money proponents stemmed, in particular, from different definitions of money, and different explanations of monetary instability. The present paper attempts to clarify this divergence of views.

Author-X-Name-Last: Ivanova Title: Hayek, Mach, and the re-ordering of mind Abstract: This paper argues that Friedrich A. v. Hayek's theory of mind and the relation between mental and physical events, most systematically presented in his 1952 book, The Sensory Order, is indebted to Ernst Mach's theory, and, in particular, to his Analysis of Sensations, above and beyond what Hayek himself along with multiple admirers of his work ever cared to admit. By highlighting a number of important similarities between Mach's and Hayek's theories of the psychical/phenomenal and physical world/order, the paper aims to show that key aspects of Hayek's theory of mind can be traced to Mach's theoretical foundations. The paper further argues that some of the criticisms Hayek levels against Mach concern nonessential points, arise from the uncritical acceptance of common misinterpretations of Mach's theory, or are plainly wrong.

Schumpeter and T.B. Veblen on economic evolution: the dichotomy between statics and dynamics Abstract: At present, the discussion on the dichotomy between statics and dynamics is resolved by concentrating on its mathematical meaning. Yet, a simple formalisation masks the underlying methodological discussion. Overcoming this limitation, the paper discusses Schumpeter's and Veblen's viewpoint on dynamic economic systems as systems generating change from within. It contributes to an understanding on their ideas of how economics could become an evolutionary science and on their contributions to elaborate an evolutionary economics. It confronts Schumpeter's with Veblen's perspective on evolutionary economics and provides insight into their evolutionary economic theorising by discussing their ideas on the evolution of capitalism.

Abstract: Engel's law expresses a “negative stochastic association” of income and the proportion of income that is spent on food. However, there are many quite different notions of “negative stochastic association” and consequently there are different ways of defining Engel's law. We relate these different concepts to Engel's original statistical analysis and show that one must give credit to Engel for the first non-parametric statistical analysis of budget-data.

Some see the absenteeism as a deficiency, while others assume that Smith propounds a theory of uneven development and agrees with the divergence argument. In this article, Smith's own theory is expounded and related to the contentious points of the “rich country–poor country” debate. It is concluded that Smith's theory does not fit easily into the categories of this debate. He rather takes up a third position, being neither a proponent of pure convergence nor of pure divergence.

Impolite techniques for decision-making Abstract: The critical literature on Keynes has provided extensive analysis of why individual agents may find convenient to adopt a “conventional judgement”, and what he meant by “polite techniques” used to save their faces as “rational, economic men.” This paper concentrates instead on impolite techniques of thought suited to deal with Keynesian uncertainty. The paper suggests that the thread going from Keynes's Treatise on Probability to the General Theory and its defence provides a positive analysis of decision-making under uncertainty, and that placing emphasis on this positive analysis simply means adhering to Keynes's long-standing commitment to a (surely peculiar) probabilistic set-up.

We confront these concepts with an “historical experiment” and the case of Danish agriculture in the nineteenth century. Specifically, we look at how accounting was used to promote specialization, ultimately in butter production, leading to the massive increases in productivity that Smith predicted. We also observe the emergence of Smithian “philosophers”. This ultimately led to the capital-intensive industrialization of Danish agriculture through butter factories, and general development. We argue that this establishes the historical relevance of Smith’s theories.

The impact of the methodological debate over the role of theory and history in economics, and the growth of cliometrics on the ways in which we think about and analyze the Industrial Revolution have been primary factors in this debate. This article uses the rise of cliometrics as a lens through which to view the intellectual history of economists’ views of the Industrial Revolution. It is not in itself an attempt to explain the causes or consequences of the Industrial Revolution, but rather, an overview of the evolution of the approaches that economists have used to define what constituted the Industrial Revolution, when it occurred, and how to explain its causes and why it occurred when and where it did.

Our research shows that steam technology adoption in France was not deskilling. We argue that this process raised the demand for new skills adapted to the development of French industries.

First, Watkins adventitious utility emerges from a process of social exclusion and can create negative externalities, in the sense that positive consumption of one individual implies negative consumption by another individual. Not only it creates negative externalities on other individuals, but it can initiate a race-to-the-bottom, where individuals waste an increasing amount of money on goods which do not possess any real utility.

The historical outcome of better living conditions for all according to Adam Smith Abstract: In this paper, I argue that Smith's commercial society is characterised more by restraint of self-command than by restraint of emotions through self-command, as usually stated. According to Smith, the appropriate degree of self-command varies with historical circumstances: better living conditions for all favour relaxation of self-command and lead people to express their sentiments more freely. I thus highlight a crucial link in Smith's thought between variations in general economic conditions and variations in moral judgement on the expression of emotions, or, in other words, between The Theory of Moral Sentiments and the Wealth of Nations.

It underlines the relative stability of Mill's views. While the tone of his remarks about Comte varied through time, their content remained basically unchanged. The paper untangles the complex web of the two thinkers’ intellectual relationship by gathering information scattered across many texts, assesses the effects of the Comtian influence on Mill's epistemology and shows how Mill's liberalism was partly built on his opposition to Comte's ideas.

Therefore, it can be said that his contributions to economics got lost in translation. Especially, the Balances Mechanics approach and the paradox of competition are his biggest achievements in economic theory, but he never received international recognition. The objective of this paper is to pay tribute to his work by applying his analytical frameworks to the balance of payments crisis in the Eurozone and to the distributional impacts of austerity policy.

Peirce’s theory of abductive expectations Abstract: Expectations are one of the core theoretical concepts in the history of 20th century macroeconomics and finance. Here another significant theory of expectations in intellectual history is noted – C. S. Peirce’s theory of abductive expectations. Peirce was an American philosopher and scientist with deep interests in economics. The paper begins by reprising important aspects of prominent expectations theories such as rational and adaptive expectations, and the theories of Keynes, Friedman and Cagan. Then the discussion extends to other noted contributors such as Shackle, Coddington, Hayek, Evans, and Brock. C. S. Peirce’s theory of expectations is intertwined with his writings on many subjects. What was important about human thought for Peirce was that inferences were made about the logic of events unfolding towards the future. Such inferences look to the future and their accompanying reasoning processes were interpreted as expectational inferences. Peirce used the term abduction for hypothetically imagining the future. An abductive, conjectural expectation (ACE) is one which incorporates and surpasses known evidence by contingently and hypothetically contemplating the future. For Peirce, abductive expectations are a crucial part of humanity’s most efficient and productive resource, the cognitive processes of the human mind. Also, although Peirce is recognized as a founding influence on American institutional economics, his conception of expectations seems to have been left undeveloped by that school of economic ideas. Peirce’s contribution provides new insights and a more unifying perspective on expectations theories in the history of economics.

This critical note points out that this new English title for Walras’s Éléments is inappropriate because it ignores Walras’s position as founder of the ‘Lausanne school’, with Vilfredo Pareto, as Walras’s successor, embracing Walras’s term ‘pure’ economics and, in his Cours d’économie politique, creating a distinction between pure and applied economics that is inconsistent with the translation of économie politique pure as ‘theoretical economics’.

In light of a recent erroneous portrayal of Guicciardini as an advocate of wealthy oligarchs, the article emphasises Guicciardini’s appreciation of the Spartan model of economic equality – even if it is unfeasible in the prevailing Florentine circumstances. Guicciardini, seeking to turn the polity towards the pursuit of virtue, argued for measures which would diminish the esteem for wealth in Florence. Nevertheless, Guicciardini was against heavy taxation of the richer citizens: the argument of the “equality of sacrifice” in taxation (which Guicciardini himself first formulated in writing), and the nuanced answer on this point, which he offers to the proponents of progressive taxation, are examined. The article seeks to explain the prima facie contradiction between Guicciardini’s reverence for the Spartan system and his ‘proto-libertarian’ defence of accumulated property, and the rights of the better-off citizens against expropriation. In both cases, it is argued, Guicciardini’s position is determined by his concern for virtue and the conditions favourable to its pursuit. The article stresses complexity of Guicciardini’s views.

This distinction has been scarcely noticed in the literature to follow except for some comments made by Marx especially in the initial chapter of his Theories of Surplus Value. The purpose of this paper is to investigate, in an attempt to keep words apart from concepts, whether and to what extent Steuart’s distinction, which is never mentioned in Smith’s Wealth of Nations (in spite of his familiarity with Steuart’s work), is an essential part of Adam Smith’s system of thought. The point of departure for tracing this distinction is, first, Smith’s elementary example of dwelling-houses and profitable buildings; and, then, his more advanced discussion (to be developed by later scholars and in particular by Marx) between the process of circulation (from one individual to another) and the process of production (and reproduction) of national wealth in the light of the two points of view, that of an individual and that of the whole society, on which Smith’s theory of capital is based. This point of departure is used in the paper to trace Steuart’s distinction between relative and positive profit behind the different terminology adopted in the classical literature that followed suit with particular regard to the wage-profit inverse relationship, the competition-of-capitals doctrine and the distinction between value and wealth. Steuart’s own distinction is thus used in the paper to support Ricardo’s conception of the “neat produce” as put forward in his Essay on Profits; as well as to differentiate Ricardo’s theory of rent (as a transfer of existing wealth between different parties rather than as a creation of new wealth) not only from Malthus’s theory (in which the two concepts of rent are mixed up) but also from Smith’s (who used the word rent to convey the former concept in Book I and the latter concept in Book II of the Wealth of Nations).

Between these two extremes, other economists supported a temporary form of intellectual property: in particular, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Léon Walras both converged towards this third solution. This article shows that they in fact provide two different analyses of intellectual property rights, which partly overlap with positions in current debates in innovation studies.

I argue that it was neither: I show that the Marshallian demand curve is a willingness-to-pay curve derived under the assumption that all prices and income are held constant. This curve approximates both compensated and uncompensated demand curves only if expenditure on the good in question represents a negligible part of the consumer budget. I argue that my interpretation, highlighting the approximate character of Marshall’s approach, provides a more accurate account of the Marshallian demand curve than do alternative interpretations that rely on the utility-maximization framework and mathematical exactness.

An interesting way of thinking about national and international monetary mechanisms emerged from the debates between French and British policymakers during those years. We attempt to explain the limited cooperation between the Bank of France and the Bank of England during that period of political tension by examining the monetary thinking of Charles Rist and Ralph George Hawtrey. Both were involved in the controversy over the strategy of the Bank of France, which accumulated – and was accused of sterilizing – gold between 1928 and 1931.

This article extends the analysis of self-produced narratives to a different genre of literature—namely technical reports on DSGE models published by central banks and other policy-making institutions. This literature adopts a narrative displaying two distinctive characteristics: the emphasis on “consensus” (leading to “better microfoundations”) and on “technical change” (enhancing the “fit” between theory and “facts”). Relying on these two arguments, the narrative told in technical reports conveys a rhetorical argument to legitimize the use of DSGE models in policy institutions.

From that point of departure it then enquires into how that representation nevertheless arose in the period from 1838 to 1890, notwithstanding its lack of robustness as economic theory – via consideration of the economics of five key contributors prior to Marshall. The investigation confirms that there is no plausible basis for a general presumption in favour of the conventional rising supply function – other than the marginal productivity theory of factor pricing, which is itself unsatisfactory.

A brief history of care in economic thought Abstract: Care is central to the human experience and part of the social provisioning process. Adam Smith recognised this, associating care with sympathy. Later contributions in the political economy tradition also provide scope for an analysis of care, but none as developed as Smith’s. With the emergence of the current mainstream, care is marginalised. Kenneth Boulding’s analysis provides an opportunity to interrogate care in the economy, but he fails to explicitly acknowledge care. It is left to feminist economics to highlight the centrality of care. An implication is that it challenges the conventional rubric of economic organisation predicated on self-interest.

From the point of view of the history of economic thought, this paper sheds new light on the origins of Galbraith’s analysis of consumption. This reappraisal also leads us to show that the latter is bound to a challenge to the Consumer Sovereignty Principle. Consequently, Galbraith’s theory contradicts the logic underlying Welfare Economics. Thanks to this exegesis, I finally explain the rationale behind Galbraith’s endorsement of the thesis of non-neutrality on the problem of value judgments in economics, which is illustrated by his presidential address to the American Economic Association.

The result is a theory of economic agency, rooted in the concept of mutual assistance (reciprocity), under which Aquinas’ account of just price is considered. The paper also relates Aquinas’ thought to the work of the “civil economist” Antonio Genovesi (1713–1769). Genovesi’s account of the market as a place of virtue and mutual assistance is deeply connected to Thomistic anthropological and economic theses. This would classify Aquinas as a fundamental author for the tradition of civil economy.

In this article we reconstruct the development of his thought by mobilising evidence about the intellectual and political context he lived in. We document his involvement within the Ukrainian national movement of the 1870 s and argue that this closeness was consistent with his take on the capitalist evolution of the Russian Empire. We discuss his importance in the Russian debates on the future of the peasant commune and of Russia and conclude that his interpretation of Marx and capitalism was crucial for the development of the Russian social-democratic party.

Upon his death, his disciples endeavoured to pursue the dissemination of his ideas. A large number of great economists took the time to read Saint-Simon and his successors, and to write about them even when they did not share their ideas. It was the case of Auguste Walras (1801–1866) and his son Léon (1834–1910). The paper examines the relationship the two Walras had with the Saint-Simonians, considers their criticism of the Saint-Simonian political economy and economic policy and highlight their adherence to the opposition between idlers and workers.

The history of a criticism Abstract: The purpose of this article is to understand Vilfredo Pareto’s reading of the Saint-Simonian system, namely the project of a new social order based on an industrial organisation. Why did Pareto rank this system among modern socialist systems and why did he qualify it as a pseudo-scientific system and nothing more than a religious system? The reason why he perceived Saint-Simonianism as a non-science can be inferred from both pure theory of political economy and the theory of social evolution. The identification of Saint-Simonianism with a religious system probably derives from the first historians and commentators of socialism in the mid-nineteenth century.

An examination of the Sraffa Papers Abstract: Why did Piero Sraffa (1898–1983), one of the most important economists of the 20th century, undertake such a significant—albeit never published—study of the St. Simonian texts? And to what extent does Sraffa’s evident interest underline the continuing relevance of St. Simonism today? This paper seeks to determine the exact parameters of Sraffa’s engagement with the St. Simonian school, and then with Saint-Simon himself, through two particular moments: the first comes in a lecture course that Sraffa, an Italian emigrant, gave in Cambridge from 1929 to 1930; the second concerns an apparent project to publish the works of Saint-Simon, which seemed to have consumed a significant part of Sraffa’s energies from the end of the 1950s into the 1960s. In view of the particular characteristics of these unpublished works, the paper makes some interpretative proposals.

Abstract: Absolute rent, in Marx's view, has an upper limit represented by the difference between the value and the price of production of agricultural commodities. The relevance of this limit was questioned by Bortkiewicz because of the difficulties concerning the argument which Marx based it on. The lack of this upper limit prompted some scholars to claim that there is no difference between absolute rent and a rent paid by a monopoly price. Referring to the classical/Marxian theory of monopoly price, we shall argue that it is still possible to distinguish absolute rent from a rent due to a monopoly price.

However, a close investigation into Marx's original shows that his multi-sectoral analysis contains not (only) two-sector models but six-sector ones, which were totally omitted by Engels in his editing the manuscripts for Capital, Volume II. Taking up two interesting theoretical episodes in the ignored six-sector analysis, this paper attempts to make sense of Marx's treatment on the price of production and the dynamic process of traverse between two equilibria.

It challenges various interpretations of Marx’s analysis based on steady-state growth models. By referring to Marx’s original manuscripts on the reproduction schemes, the paper shows that Marx, due to erroneous calculations, never arrived at schemes of reproduction on an extended scale that exhibit steady-state growth. Moreover, it is suggested that Marx identified reproduction on an extended scale with an expansion path of undisturbed capital accumulation, irrespective of whether the latter proceeds in a steady or non-steady manner.

A non-cognitive approach to commodity fetishism Abstract: Karl Marx presented his theory of commodity fetishism as an explanation of the mysterious appearance of social relations in a system of commodity production as natural phenomena. The standard interpretation of this as a failure to perceive capitalist social relations correctly depends on a particular modern sense of ‘natural’. If classical political economy and Marx used ‘natural’ in the Aristotelian sense, commodity fetishism appears quite differently: not as a cognitive error but rather as a manner of living under commodity production, one that is not wrong but absurd, the word fetishism tying commodity production to pre-Enlightenment, preliterate peoples.

Our investigation will provide clues to better understand the structure and contents of the documents. Particularly, we provide new evidence for why Marx started his research on the 1857 crisis with the French economy, which managed to steer clear of the crisis, rather than with England, which was already acutely affected by it.

The first is to argue that the foundation of Marx’s theory of capitalist exploitation is to be found, not in the labour theory of value, but rather in the contract of employment, the legal frame of the capital-labour relation. The second is to suggest that the partial externalisation of the reproduction cost of labour power has been an important source of relative surplus value, along with the productivity increase, emphasised by Marx, in the industries supplying wage goods.

It deals more specifically with Marx’s rejection of an automatic mechanism that links variations in the quantity of money to their direct impact on prices. Steuart’s pioneering discoveries in economics inaugurate an anti-quantity theory tradition that Marx supported and which fed his own conception of money and credit. Here, we deal with the criticism of the assumptions of the quantity theory of money (QTM), the specifically social character of labour which creates exchange value, the distinction between the functions of money, the difference between income spending and capital advances, and the difference between simple circulation and reflux of money credit.

This article is a philological contribution to this debate, i.e. an immanent reading of alienation in the Grundrisse with a systematic textual basis. By providing a general overview of how Marx uses terms like “alienation” (Entfremdung), “to alienate” (entfremden), “alien” (fremd), “alien character” (Fremdartigkeit) and the close yet distinct “externalisation” (Entäuβerung) in the Grundrisse, we set out to show precisely how the meanings and functions of this terminology can be distinguished from alienation in the so-called “Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844” (EPM). Indeed, in the EPM, the concept of alienation refers to the inhibition of Man’s generic forces by private property. There, it is thus a philosophical standpoint external to economic phenomena. In the Grundrisse, by contrast, the concept delineates three dimensions of the social and historical determination of these phenomena. First, the subordination of workers or independent producers to capital or money; second, the constitution of capital or money into independent social relations; third, the transcending character of the social reality hence produced. Nevertheless, a certain aspect of the system of alienation outlined in the EPM is taken up again in the Grundrisse: the idea that alienation calls for the integration of that which has been alienated (the productive forces) into the alienated subject (the producers).

The present article elucidates such particular circumstances relating to the making of Marx’s theory of rent composed of two forms, differential and absolute, based on the new MEGA volumes. Special attention is paid to Liebig’s agro-chemistry, which considerably influenced Marx’s view on modern agriculture.

Wicksteed published a critique of the first volume of Marx’s Capital, the first detailed analytical encounter in English between Marx’s value theory and the new discourse of “marginalism”. In revisiting that episode, this article has three principal objectives. The first is to show how Wicksteed developed his understanding of political economy, as he moved from initially following Henry George’s Progress and Poverty. The second is to examine why Wicksteed’s defence of George necessitated criticizing the Marxist Social Democratic Federation. The third is to show that Wicksteed’s criticisms of Marx were simply incorrect.

Costanza (1980) in Science chose energy and propagated energy values (a century after Engels criticised Podolinsky on energy). Mainstream economists quickly questioned Marx’s logic. Pareto advocated simultaneous equations, unaware of their use by Mühlpfordt and Dmitriev. Contributions by Charasoff and Potron were also overlooked. Already in 1927, Leontief and Sraffa knew how to replace labour values by other commodity values. Generalising Sraffa’s subsystems and using “percentage formulas” for price-value deviations, I discuss some empirical results for labour or energy theories of value.

Most of the handwriting of the manuscripts belongs to Engels. But later Engels repeatedly stated that the first discoverer of this conception is Marx, not him. This is a contradiction. This contradiction had been discussed for nearly a century, but it has not led scholars to a common result. Why? In my opinion, it was because no one, including the former and new MEGA editors, ever attempted to examine a very important problem, namely, the possibility that the Feuerbach manuscripts could have been dictated by Marx and written by Engels. If this possibility existed really, no contradiction will remain.

We explain this surprising result and show that for technical reasons, disproportions between sectors can prevent the system from reproducing itself. But, in Marx’s reproduction schemes, such a crisis is not only due to purely technical factors and one must wonder what role is played by the relative price in the reproduction of the system. The answer is given by comparing two models having a similar structure but quite different rules for the determination of the relative price. In Marx’s model, the price is given by the labour values and thus, it is exogenously fixed. We contrast Marx’s analysis with an endogenous price model in which the price depends on the conditions of the accumulation of capital. The Appendices point out the complete accordance of Engels’ corrections with Marx’s model and Marx’s unfruitful quest for a balanced growth path as a tool for the analysis of crises.

The relevance of Edgar Bauer’s polemical portrait of Karl Marx in his 1843 novella Es leben feste Grundsätze! Abstract: The protagonist of Edgar Bauer’s 1843 novella Es leben feste Grundsätze! is a young intellectual named “Karl”. It can hardly be doubted that Bauer’s novella is a polemical character study of Karl Marx: the rather demeaning picture of “Herr Karl” belongs to the heat of controversy between Marx and die Freien, the Berlin Young Hegelians, after the end of their participation in the Rheinische Zeitung in late autumn 1842. So far, Bauer’s novella has never been used as a potential source to shed light on the deeper causes of animosity between Marx and die Freien.

Marx formulated this concept for the first time in Value, Price, and Profit (1865), and extrapolated upon it further in the first edition of the first volume of Capital (1867). It signified an appreciable alteration to Marx’s original historical theory. Indeed, in his writings, preceding the publication of volume 1 of Capital, such as The Communist Manifesto or The German Ideology, Marx had presented a more straightforwardly linear conception of the evolution of human society, consisting of various stages, “capitalism” being the penultimate stage, and “communism”, the last. Within this framework, the most advanced nations, such as Great Britain and Germany, were assumed to be those closest to being on the pre-revolutionary cusp of realising socialism. However, from the publication of volume 1 of Capital onwards, Marx embraced a less deterministic conception of progress, focussing more than previously on economically backwards countries or societies “at the margins” (Anderson 2010) and envisaging for them possibilities for historical development that did not inevitably entail the sort of industrialisation that Great Britain had experienced. This was particularly true regarding Russia, where volume 1 of Capital was welcomed and discussed precisely in light of these questions, as has been underscored by many scholars, notably Shanin, Wada, White, and Stedman Jones.

To learn more about Marx’ process of research, it is useful to consult all his manuscripts, letters and notebooks. The critical edition focusses on the connections between different passages in all of them; modern technologies offer new possibilities to visualize these connections. This article will present a survey on material presented by MEGA in print and online, and highlight some features and results of MEGAdigital.

The article first states some quantitative elements on the absolute and relative importance of the references to Marx and the words “Marxism” and “Marxist” in the journal. The central editorial line of the review – to restore a French descent to socialism and to try to found a socialism not exclusively “Marxist” – is then analysed. This line is maintained over time, with variations, in different national and international contexts. Finally, three key economic themes defining the relation to Marx in the journal are presented. Based on this quantitative and qualitative analysis, a brief conclusion stresses some of the most specific aspects of the socialist reception of Marx in France before WWI.

Several versions referred as versions I, II and III have been developed until the late 1960s from which Kalecki draw three central propositions on instability and class struggle: (1) the capitalist system “cannot break the impasse of fluctuations around a static position” unless it is shocked by “semi-exogenous factors”, (2) the dynamics of the profit rate and investment – as in version I and II – may be disconnected from “class struggle” and (3) when class struggle impacts the dynamics of the economy – as in version III – this is happening in a context in which expected profitability of new investment projects is negatively related to the profit share. In this article, we want to show that each of these three proposals represents key differences with Marx.

The paper investigates British debates about the reconstruction of the world order as a topic that brought together social analysts with very different backgrounds, and had the LSE as one of its focal points. The urgency of international politics at the time made it more difficult to sustain a clear distinction between positive analysis and policy prescription. To Lionel Robbins, the topic belonged to the applied domain of political economy.

The central one is that the definition of rationality depends on bounded rationality. This is reminiscent of debates in philosophy concerning the definition of concepts in terms of their opposites, which has led to efforts to destabilise dichotomies. In addition, as argued in this article, there is a related connection between the (bounded) rationality of economists and the agents they study.

I argue that this narrative is inconsistent with the formal structure of Bayesian game theory. This is because (i) the assumption of common belief in rationality is equivalent to equilibrium play, as in classical game theory, and (ii) the players' prior beliefs are a mere mathematical artefact and not actual beliefs held by the players. Bayesian game theory is thus a Bayesian representation of the choice of players who are committed to play equilibrium strategy profiles.

Top-down processes are possible because shared beliefs are characterised by variety and malleability, rather than by a (homogeneous) “cultural heritage”. Although in North’s theory the reciprocal influence between informal and formal norms is interpretable as an alternation of bottom-up and top-down processes, he does not develop this perspective.

After decades this received view, usually termed Bayesian, has been criticized for its normative content. This paper compares the current critique of the notion of Bayesian rationality, proposed by Itzhak Gilboa, with Daniel Ellsberg’s classic critique of Savage’s understanding of rationality. The paper argues that Ellsberg’s classic analysis of Savage’s theory totally anticipated today’s criticism.

This is a period – before Physiocracy and before the works of Adam Smith – which has been largely neglected in the history of economic thought. The article sheds new light on the early bestselling contributions of German and Italian economists, and on an internationally famous Spanish economist at the time. Also of interest is that three of the bestselling English economists of the period are so forgotten that they do not even have an entry in Wikipedia.

This article aims to address this lacuna. To do so, we conduct a quantitative analysis of papers published in the 1970–2010 period. We also provide qualitative insights through comparisons with econometrics and psychology. Our results reveal a significant change in experimental economics’s statistical methods, namely an evolution from purely descriptive methods to more sophisticated and standardized techniques. We highlight that, by contrast with psychology and econometrics, this evolution was not accompanied with explicit methodological discussions about the role of statistics in empirical research.

Author-X-Name-Last: Dimand Title: Adam Smith on Portuguese wine and English cloth Abstract: Half a century before David Ricardo’s famous numerical example of the exchange of Portuguese wine for English cloth under the Methuen Treaty as illustrating trade creation and comparative advantage, Adam Smith denounced the Methuen Treaty as an instance of trade diversion, displacing British imports of French wines with higher cost, lower quality Portuguese wines. Relying on his argument that the division of labour is limited by the extent of the market, Smith insisted that a treaty of commerce with France would be more beneficial, and supported Eden’s Treaty (1786). Smith also rejected the argument of Cantillon and mercantilists that the exchange of English cloth for Portuguese wine benefitted Britain by bringing in gold and silver, arguing that an excess demand for precious metals in Britain would by itself cause an inflow of gold and silver. Smith’s critique of the Methuen Treaty and his posing of the question of which commercial treaties would be trade-creating rather than trade-diverting have been largely overlooked.

Merchants and inventories determine prices that diverge from (longer run) equilibrium. We contrast this stable formulation of price determination with an unstable benchmark specification in which variations in mercantile inventories play no role. Appreciated the stabilising properties of classical dynamics but did not isolate the influence of inventory behaviour. We briefly consider the role of inventories in macroeconomics, and note that balance sheet effects have rendered credit dislocations considerably more persistent than they were in Cantillon’s day.

To cope with the real economy, macroeconomics has been “forced” to introduce imperfections and frictions of various kinds into the perfectly competitive model. This raises, argues the paper, significant conceptual and analytical difficulties and tensions. There exist, however, other views of competition and markets which could provide more solid and fruitful foundations to the analysis of the macro-economy. After a selective examination of some contributions to the development of the notion of perfect competition, the paper looks at how modern mainstream macroeconomics dealt with general equilibrium and deviations from it. The paper argues that these alleged deviations from the perfectly competitive case should rather be regarded as inherent features of market economies. Dealing with them more satisfactorily requires calling on a different view of the working of the economy instead of trying to correct and amend the imaginary case of perfect competition.

The Tract investigated the fluctuations due to short-term forecasting errors. Next, the Treatise extended the analysis of expectations’ mismatches to the determination of the level of investment. Hence the major achievement of the General Theory can be located in its demonstration of the possible existence of an underemployment equilibrium due to the indeterminacy of long-term expectations.

Abstract: Instability of the warranted growth path, an important property for business cycle theory, is central to Harrod’s Essay. It is persuasively presented as the consequence of moving from statics (where stability is viewed as the normal case) to dynamics. How exactly? The paper suggests two reasons. The first lies in attributing to demanders (firms as investors) rather than to suppliers (firms as producers) the main response to market imbalances. The second results from the insidious introduction of an extrapolative component of expectations in Harrod’s dynamic approach, replacing levels by trends and confining them to a single point in time.

Oskar Lange, later followed by Lawrence Klein and Don Patinkin, among others, advocated for a move from a static analysis aimed at proving the existence of a stationary equilibrium with unemployment towards a dynamic approach exploring stability properties of full employment equilibria. In presence of excess supply of goods and labour with flexible money wages and prices, the message was that macroeconomic pathologies are better regarded as disequilibrium dynamics when full employment equilibrium is unstable – Lange and Klein – or when it is stable – Patinkin. The objective of this paper is to examine this type of modelling and how it provided the basis of a specific political vision shared by most economists of the Cowles Commission in the 1940’s.

Despite some criticism of his “correspondence principle” of stability analysis by D.F. Gordon, D. Patinkin and others, it was only in the 1970s that Samuelson’s separation was effectively challenged, particularly by R. E. Lucas. After the Foundations, Samuelson developed dynamic optimisation models, sometimes featuring representative agents, but he did not extend that to the study of macroeconomic fluctuations. Neither did he accept market clearing inter-temporal maximisation as a solution to the micro-foundations problem that beset his models of macroeconomic dynamics. His 1988 nonlinear non-optimising business cycle model was his last contribution to dynamics. Eventually, Samuelson disentangled his 1965 “efficient market hypothesis” of financial economics from rational expectations and claimed that the former should form one of the pillars of macroeconomic dynamics, together with imperfectly competitive markets for goods and labour.

It is argued that this research line continued through the 1960s and early 1970s with the construction of the Federal Reserve Board, MIT and University of Pennsylvania macroeconometric model. However, while in Ando and Modigliani’s earlier model dynamics and stability were conceived in terms of movements around a steady state equilibrium, with econometric models devoted to policy simulations and forecasting, the system’s stability or instability was identified with the time length of the adjustment process.

Five different explanations of a bank liquidity crisis have been provided by different authors, since John Law and up to Walter Bagehot. First, according to Law (1703) and Steuart ([1767] [1998]), the distinction between money of account (the pound sterling) and money of payment (the guinea) may induce a bank run. Second, according to Cantillon (1730), Hume ([1752] 1972), Ricardo (1810-1823) and the Currency School (1837-1858), the bank reserve becomes insufficient as a consequence of a diminishing value of money allied with over issues. Third, according to Thornton ([1802] 1939, 1991) and the Banking School (1840-1857), it can occur as a consequence of a falling exchange rate that is not linked with over issues. Fourth, according to Smith (1776) and the Banking School, discounting of fictitious bills, by decreasing the shareholders' funds, leads to bank illiquidity. Lastly, according to Thornton ([1802] 1939, 1991) and Bagehot (1873), the liquidity crisis is a consequence of bank panics: a "flight" to money for Thornton, a "flight" to credit for Bagehot. The analysis of these five different explanations sheds new light on classical monetary controversies.

We show that Smith's conception of utility is not utilitarian. While the pursuit of ‘pleasure’ could lie behind human behaviour, it is not the pleasure referred to by utilitarianism. Instead, utility, in its colloquial sense, plays a greater role that suggests a type of consideration which is foreign to utilitarianism and which also introduces a rationalist element to Smith's moral analysis. Thus, utility, in the utilitarian sense, is neither a guide to action nor a means for moral evaluation.

The important ‘progressive’ features of manufacturing that can be found in Marx's writings and which are discussed here include: division of labour; socialisation of labour; mechanisation; increasing returns to scale; learning-by-doing; technological advancement; and overall, superior potential for cumulative productivity increases. These insights anticipate some of the thinking around the specificity of manufacturing found in twentieth-century structuralist development economics and some heterodox schools of thought such as Kaldorian approaches. This article suggests an interpretation of Marx as having a two-dimensional conceptualisation of activity specificity, with not only sectoral but also ‘technological–organisational’ dimensions, where these two dimensions are not fully independent of each other.

General equilibrium analysis had nonetheless to wait for Walras to occupy the centre of theoretical economics, since it was dismissed by Cournot for its lack of simplicity and robustness. We suggest these motives to depend upon his view of competition as a strategic interaction between producers. Correlatively, the way to the Walras' construct appears to pass through his own view of competition, with economic agents giving up by pure conduct their potential market power.

This article addresses this lack of interest and replies to criticism of pragmatism as the philosophy of ‘corporate liberalism’ by tracing one source of Dewey's economic thought to British New Liberal John Atkinson Hobson. General similarities are discussed first, followed by a presentation of Dewey's use of Hobson's theory of underconsumption during the Great Depression. It concludes by presenting Dewey's understanding of a liberalism that had truly become corporate.

Rusche and Kirchheimer’s Punishment and Social Structure revisited Abstract: This paper addresses the evolution of socio-legal theories concerning the use of monetary sanctions from a specific theoretical perspective – the “political economy of punishment” originally developed by Rusche and Kirchheimer. In particular, the paper explores the often-overlooked chapter on fines in Rusche and Kirchheimer’s work. Their reflections on the rise of monetary fines provide some premonitory guesses regarding the role of fines in consumer societies. The paper aims to complete their scenario highlighting their innovative and visionary research on fines, and to contribute to the sparse theoretical literature that deals with the political economy of fines.

We challenge the opinion that Hayek’s writings on neutral money have been influenced by, and are similar to, the work of Menger and Mises. We show, first, the significant alternative influence of Friedrich von Wieser on Hayek’s work on the subject. Second, we rehabilitate a neglected method of monetary theorising specific to Menger and Mises that rejects money neutrality both as a tool for investigating monetary phenomena and as the standard by which monetary regimes, and the market economy itself, should be evaluated. Examining this chapter in the history of economic thought can aid in a deeper reconsideration of the doctrinal foundations of modern monetary theory and policy.

Is it about discovering general laws of economic behaviour? Is it about policy-making? And how do those objectives tie in with political views and normative preferences? In 1882–1883 a debate about the existence of economic laws arose between the French Liberal School and Émile de Laveleye, who had just published his Éléments d’économie politique. The debate concerned the form and meaning of economic science and it was bound up with the political views of both sides. A third party to this debate, Léon Walras, was having great difficulty in finding institutional and political support. Although he was closer to the French Liberals in terms of method, he was more inclined to Laveleye’s views concerning the purpose of political economy and in his political outlook. Based on unpublished letters, we will trace the imbroglio between method and purpose of political economy in the triangle formed by Émile de Laveleye, Léon Walras and the “orthodox” French Liberal School.

It shows in particular that through his conceptualisation of a “community of labour” as the fusion of both the activity and consciousness of a people, Perroux sought to bring together social mysticism (anti-rationalism) with economic and political organisation. Such a synthesis needs to be personified by a political leader as the main custodian of a national myth which should guide the community of labour from above. This interpretation helps to situate Perroux vis-à-vis some of the structuring elements of Vichy discourse.

Its aim is twofold. First, it is to strengthen our knowledge of Grenville’s economic thought which was praised by figures of his time but remains today almost totally unrecognised. The second purpose is to assess the part that Grenville may have taken in the development of Post-Ricardian political economy. Our conclusion is that Grenville most likely played a key role in the development of Political economy at the University of Oxford in the late 1820 s and early 1830 s.

One aim of the paper is at discarding this view and at suggesting another, based on Ricardo’s distinction between a position in which money “conforms” to the standard and positions in which money depreciates or appreciates because its quantity is inadequate. The paper also shows that, in spite of differences on particular points, the basic aspects of this approach are shared by other scholars, so that one may speak of an unorthodox view on Ricardo’s theory of money.

To solve this puzzle, this paper relies on the distinction between the classical theory of money and the quantity theory of money and shows that, according to Newcomb, the quantity theory applied only for inconvertible paper money, while metallic money and convertible bank issues were regulated by different mechanisms. Understanding Newcomb’s distinction between the different types of issues also sheds light on his stance in the monetary debate of the U.S. Reconstruction period.

We propose a reconstruction of the financial instability theory contained in Book III of Capital presenting striking similarities with Minsky’s financial instability hypothesis. Regarding the link between monetary and real dimensions of crises we draw from Hilferding’s Finance Capital to link the reproduction schemes from Book II with financial instability from Book III. The natural elasticity of bank credit and financial markets exuberance ensure the emergence and enlargement of sectoral disproportions till the unavoidable crisis.

For the period 1999–2017 we construct a database of speeches by G7 central bankers that mention Bagehot. On the basis of this database, we show that there was a boom in mentions of Bagehot during the recent financial crisis. Using the Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) codes, we indicate that this increase in the references to Bagehot among central bankers mainly relates to the idea of the LLR, and specifically the so-called Bagehot rules. However, a variety of interpretations of these rules can be observed among central bankers. We argue that these differences in interpretation can be explained by the fact that Bagehot’s rules are used by central bankers either to justify, or, on the contrary, to impose limits on the liquidity injections envisaged under the unconventional monetary policies adopted in reaction to the crisis. We conclude that these diverging preferences on liquidity injections among central bankers allow us to distinguish two main “types” of receptions of Bagehot’s rules: liberal versus conservative.

Author-X-Name-Last: Dimand Author-Name: Harald Hagemann Author-X-Name-First: Harald Author-X-Name-Last: Hagemann Title: Jacob Marschak and the Cowles approaches to the theory of money and assets Abstract: Jacob Marschak shaped the emergence of monetary theory and portfolio choice at the Cowles Commission (which he directed from 1943 to 1948, but with which he was involved already from 1937) at the University of Chicago, where he was the doctoral teacher of Leonid Hurwicz, Harry Markowitz and Don Patinkin, and then from 1955 at the Cowles Foundation at Yale University, where he was a senior colleague of James Tobin until moving to UCLA in 1960. Marschak’s later attempts to clarify the concept of liquidity and to emphasise the role of new information for economic behaviour date back as far as to his early experiences with hyperinflationary processes in the Northern Caucasus during the Russian Revolution. Marschak came to monetary theory with his 1922 Heidelberg doctoral dissertation on the quantity theory equation of exchange (published in 1924 as “Die Verkehrsgleichung”), and embedded monetary theory in a wider theory of asset market equilibrium in studies of “Money and the Theory of Assets” (1938), “Assets, Prices, and Monetary Theory” (with Helen Makower, 1938), “Role of Liquidity under Complete and Incomplete Information” (1949), “The Rationale of the Demand for Money and of ‘Money Illusion’” (1950), and “Monnaie et liquidité dans les modèles macroéconomiques et microéconomiques” (1955), as well as in Income, Employment and the Price Level (lectures Marschak gave at Chicago, edited by Fand and Markowitz, 1951a). We examine Marschak’s analysis of money within a broader theory of asset market equilibrium and explore the relation of his work to the monetary and portfolio theories of his doctoral students Markowitz and Patinkin and his colleague Tobin and to the revival of the quantity theory of money by Milton Friedman, a University of Chicago colleague unsympathetic to the methodology of the Cowles Commission.

Its message—decentralised economies are prone to large increases in unemployment since communication failures prevent the optimal coordination of private decisions—is by now well understood. In this paper, we argue that even though most commentators correctly identify this message, they overlook two crucial aspects of Leijonhufvud’s demonstration. These aspects relate to what the author calls the “aggregative structure” and the “transaction structure” of macro-models. We show that the former type of structure plays a central role in the emergence of unemployment in the “Economics of Keynes”, while the latter type of structure explains why unemployment is “involuntary”.

New-classical macroeconomists selected a subset of the tools of control that favoured their support of rules against discretionary stabilisation policy. The Lucas critique and Kydland and Prescott’s time-inconsistency were over-statements that led to the “dark ages” of the prevalence of the stabilisation-policy-ineffectiveness idea. These over-statements were later revised following the success of the Taylor rule.

His assumptions and mathematical method are explained and compared to Quesnay’s notion of repompement and Du Pont’s Courbes politiques.

Discussing human capital and the economic value of education in the first half of the twentieth century1 Abstract: Human capital has become a popular concept in modern economics since the 1960s, though its historiography is still limited. Prior studies focussed on rational reconstructions, using earlier references to provide legitimacy to modern developments. In this text we take a different approach by tracing the evolution of the term and the (dis)continuities in its use. We analyse various contexts in which education and human capital were discussed during the first half of the twentieth century. The analysis underlines the complex stabilisation of the concept human capital, the loose connections among earlier debates and between those debates and modern economics.

The emancipatory virtue of public debt in saint-simonian, liberal and socialist discourses in nineteenth century France (1825–1852) Abstract: This article compares public debt as it is concived by Saint-Simonians, Liberal economists and Socialists. I endeavour to analyse public debt through its capacity to modify or preserve social order. Armed with financial science, the Saint-Simonians wished to use public borrowing as a means for enabling the development of the industriels. Liberal economists condemned the development of public borrowing with advocating teachings of political economy. Against these two theories of public debt, the 1840s Socialists proposed an analysis based on social classes and concluded that public borrowing was unable to structurally modify the social antagonism of the nineteenth century society.

We analyse his adherence to the gold standard, the quantity theory of money and the real bills doctrine. We mainly focus on his PhD Dissertation on the Federal Reserve System and on papers he wrote in the early twenties located in the NBB archives.

We provide the background in adjacent fields of economics which made the surge of NEG possible. We then assess the state of the art in NEG and track the intellectual evolution of the field, focussing on the intrinsic criticism that it has been subject to throughout its history. This criticism has its roots in different conceptions of geography and history, as well as other methodological differences between economists and geographers. We analyse the evolution of the debate and communication between geographical economists and economic geographers.

His book Princípios de Economia Monetária (Principles of Monetary Economics) was the first textbook in Portuguese published for a Brazilian audience interested in economics. As the book was written during the period of the Keynesian revolution, we show how he kept up with the then-modern debate around Keynes’ ideas and continually incorporated Keynesian concepts into the successive editions of his book. As Gudin was a staunch defender of liberalism and the free market, his presentation of Keynes’ and Keynesian ideas was mainly critical.

Preparing his lectures, Sraffa had also identified the need to determine prices and distribution simultaneously although some implications of this latter result were probably not yet fully evident to him. Sraffa still accepted the Marshallian thesis that classical political economy and marginalist economics identified two alternative “ultimate standards of value”. This position bears witness to Sraffa’s initial adherence to the Marshallian theoretical framework. The road towards Production of Commodities was open, but still unfinished.

Knight on social values in economic consumption: an archival note Abstract: We reproduce an unpublished address on “Social Values in Economic Consumption” which Knight prepared for a SSRC Conference in June 1931. This material sheds new light on Knight in two respects. First, anticipating what is known as the relative income hypothesis, Knight indicated that a general increase in income, not only leaves the individual’s relative position in society unaltered but makes her/his situation worse off due to the peculiar characteristics of the market for “personal services.” Second, this address provides further evidence of how, in spite of some substantial methodological differences, Knight’s research interests converged with those of the institutionalists.

Abstract: Although Adam Smith used history extensively in his Wealth of Nations, his contribution to economic history is neither systematised nor explicitly presented. The aimof this paper is to investigate the ways in which history is incorporated in Smith’s political economy and to elucidate the role of historical investigation in Smith’s Wealth of Nations. We propose a “four thematic” approach of Smith’s use of history, corresponding to four distinct ways in which Smith incorporates the historical element in his political economy. First, as method through a progressive version of proto-historical materialism, second, as illustration in order to verify his theoretical conclusions, third, as theory in the form of his stages theory, and, finally, as economic history to describe the emergence of modern Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire.

Pantaleoni’s theory shared the neo-classicist antinomy that, despite the emphasis on agent subjectivity, disregarded the variability in the content of labour resulting from worker subjectivity towards labour performance and employer countermeasures. Consequently, Pantaleoni espoused the neoclassical principle that takes for granted the market determination of capitalistic labour exchange without socio-political intervention. The transition of Pantaleoni’s outlook on actual labour issues reflected the gulf between his faith in this principle and realities. Thus, Pantaleoni’s perspective on labour exchange functioned as a bridge between neoclassicism and Fascism.

Firstly, it shows that Torrens’ reflections on trade evolved considerably by comparing The Economists Refuted and the Essay on the Production of Wealth. Secondly, it offers an explanation of how and why this evolution took place by scrutinising the different editions of the Essay on the External Corn Trade. Thirdly, Torrens’ model of trade and growth is presented. Finally, by identifying the assumptions underlying the model, it is argued that, in the early 1820s, Torrens still adheres to the absolute advantage theory.

Peirce and the Spanish Treaty of 1884 Abstract: In the 1870 s and 1880 s, the scientist, logician, and pragmatist philosopher Charles S. Peirce possessed an advanced knowledge of mathematical economics, having mastered and criticised Cournot as early as 1871. In 1884 he engaged in a multi-round debate with the editors of The Nation over the economics of trade liberalisation in the case of a proposed trade treaty with Spain concerning import tariffs on Cuban and Puerto Rican sugar. While the mathematical underpinings of Peirce’s intervention in the debate are not explicit, they are evident in light of Peirce’s unpublished writing on Cournot. The debate is reconstructed and related carefully both to Peirce’s understanding of mathematical economics and to his philosophy of science. Peirce’s intervention is one of the earliest intricate applications of mathematical economics to public policy.

Hansen was influenced by Erik Lindahl who, like the other members of the Stockholm School was critical to the quantity theory of money. Hansen’s book contains early analyses of spill-over effects and building blocks of the supply multiplier.

At the same time, the economic needs of the companies involved in this commercial revolution stimulated the growth of markets for securities and shares. The growing complexity of global markets created propitious conditions for the emergence of a class of professional speculators. Initially, the frenzy that accompanied this process seemed to confirm traditional views, which identified speculation with gambling. With time, however, a new scientific literature emerged. Focussing on the last decade of the nineteenth century up to the early 1920s in the UK and US, our analysis brings to light how contributors to this new literature made the case for speculation against conventional wisdom. In so doing, they were not blind to the downside effects of speculation as a possible source of resource misallocation. Nevertheless, they chose to emphasise its constructive side, basing their arguments on the case of commodity markets, where the idea of a long-run equilibrium price to be attained by speculation appeared plausible. They employed the same arguments in the case of the stock exchange, downplaying differences between the two markets although they were well aware of them. Thus economists played a crucial role in convincing policymakers of the beneficial effects of the new speculative instruments, against the hostility of a large part of public opinion. Futures and their use for the purpose of short selling, the most controversial of the new trading practices, were gradually accepted and regarded as legitimate commercial transactions. On the other hand, options continued to attract suspicion for a long time and to be kept in a limbo between disreputable and acceptable operations. The paper expands the existing literature on the subject by providing the first systematic reconstruction of the shared analytical arguments that, in spite of differences between authors and contexts, contributed to making speculation gradually accepted in the UK and US.

But despite his ideological objections, Lundberg shared many of the premises of the model in his debate with Gösta Rehn in the early 1950s. Furthermore, in their debate, Lundberg approached Rehn’s policy program and macroeconomic theory. Lundberg’s ambiguous attitude turned into a complete adoption of the Rehn-Meidner model in the 1960s. By highlighting the model’s originality, Lundberg also correctly downplayed the impact of the Stockholm School.

Author-X-Name-Last: Thomas Title: On “effectual demand” and the “extent of the market” in Adam Smith and David Ricardo Abstract: This paper revisits the question of demand in the works of Adam Smith and David Ricardo by adopting a novel approach: the joint examination of the concepts of “effectual demand” and the “extent of the market.” The discussion on “effectual demand” highlights its social nature and finds that in a multi-commodity framework, the vector of commodity supplies adapts to the vector of effectual demands. Subsequently, the “extent of the market” is seen to play a distinct role in determining economic growth as a demand-side determinant alongside the supply-side determinants of net saving and technological progress. The connections between the “extent of the market” and “effectual demand” are also explored in this paper. The findings point to a more important analytical role for demand in both Smith and Ricardo than has hitherto been highlighted.

Abstract: This paper clarifies what Walras learned from Smith by examining his quotations of Smith and his handwritten notes in the Wealth of Nations belonging to the Walras Library. Although Walras’s general equilibrium theory has often been compared to Smith’s “invisible hand,” Walras himself had no intention of developing it in his pure economics. In his applied economics, Walras was influenced by Smith’s analysis of the division of labour in terms of efficiency. However, Walras did not share the explanation of its origin in his social economics, which suggests the reason why Walras never quoted Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments.

Commons and Douglass C. North. Both scholars justify the role of institutions by referring to cognitive issues and emphasise power relations as a key concern. However, their perspectives are radically different. North focuses on the barriers to the emergence of “open-access orders” in developing countries. The existence of impersonal norms is supposed to eradicate violence in society. In contrast, Commons is a progressive preoccupied with the survival of capitalism. In his view, through the growth of inequalities, these norms renders the system unstable. The economy has to be bounded at the political level.

Theories of in-kind accounting of Alexander Chayanov, Otto Neurath and the early Soviet experiences Abstract: This paper focuses on Soviet practices and debates on money during the 1918–1921 period. In the first part, we briefly present the Bolshevik policy and discussions on eliminating money as a means of payments and calculation. In the second part, we outline in details A. Chayanov's model of in-kind accounting by making some comparisons with O. Neurath’s proposals for an economy in kind. The latter had a decisive influence on Soviet Russia. Finally, we conclude with some reflections on the role of these models for ecological economics, modern efficiency measuring and monetary theory.

Even these two think tanks had different specialisations, organisational structures and methodological approaches, both strongly favoured Italy’s Europeanisation. However, the Christian Democracy Party did not follow Arel’s recommendations to maintain control over public debt through the introduction of a public spending limit in the Constitution or Nomisma’s recommendation to implement a long-term industrial policy strategy.

However, Carlyle’s ideas in fact had a considerable influence among economists in Australia and New Zealand. Indeed, an array of Australasian economists cited Carlyle in criticising self-interest, laissez-faire, and materialism, in suggesting that economic science ought to accord greater importance to ethical factors, and in urging the “Captains of Industry” and the State to exercise paternal guidance over the working classes. In short, Carlyle’s writings shaped Australasian economists’ understanding, portrayal, and critique of the previous generation of so-called “old” economists, as well as their self-understanding as self-professed “new” economists.

One could argue that Keynes’ ideas on planning were influenced by Soviet planning; the Great Depression and Roosevelt’s New Deal; and in parallel, the theoretical transition Keynes was going through. His conception consolidated when he established that it was necessary to control investment and income distribution, although he believed planning should walk hand in hand with democracy.

With the long-awaited publication, in 1983, of the English translation of Gossen’s book, its editor, Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, saw in The Laws of Human Relations and the Rules of Human Action Derived Therefrom the roots of a wholly different theory of consumption choices than that generally accepted, one in which the flow of time plays a non-trivial role. However, Georgescu-Roegen’s interpretation did not object to Gossen being a precursor of the subjective theory of value. The paper argues, with evidence from the works of Gossen, Jevons, Menger and Walras, that, contrary to this interpretation, the theoretical connection between Gossen and the marginalist school is unwarranted in that Gossen, contrary to the early marginalists, was not concerned with adding to the theory of exchange the demand side which the classical British tradition had neglected. In fact, Jevons and Walras, concerned with building a demand-and-supply theory of price and with their relative merits as discoverers of the new approach, “elected” Gossen as their common precursor, despite the fact that Gossen explicitly rejected the idea that his laws of pleasure could bear any implication for the theory of exchage.

In this work, Aquinas distances himself from the Roman law mutuum and the assumption of a borrower’s state of necessity, and he introduces preliminary monetary elements. He thereby paves the way for a future understanding of surplus in intertemporal exchange. The monetary loan is presented as a commercial exchange involving not only commercial risk but also the risk of analytical errors in understanding the nature of the operation.

Emphasis is given to the connection between his theoretical ideas and postulates, and his analysis of the public finance in Greece during the interwar era. His research activity was bounded by two Greek sovereign defaults and five military campaigns which overwhelmingly affected the country’s public finances. Andréadès remained critical towards extensive government intervention in the market process, proposing instead liberal economic policies that could safeguard institutions from compromising their independence by economic interests and political interference in bureaucratic decision-making.

Abstract: This paper argues that the 100% money proposal of the 1930s should not (as is often the case) simply be considered as an avatar, extended to deposit currency, of the Currency School’s reform prescriptions. The English Bank Charter Act of 1844, indeed, conveyed a double rejection: it not only sought to divorce the issuing from the lending of money, but also to prevent all kind of monetary management, by enacting a specific issuing rule (the “currency principle”) into law. The 100% money proposal, in contrast, was designed independently of any monetary policy recommendations, leaving open the debate of “rules versus discretion”.

Clark developed a different, and more useful, interpretation of the kinked demand curve. While his approach was not generally understood, for reasons we will discuss (including the fact that his discussion of related issues was scattered among multiple books and articles, many of which primarily focussed on other issues), Clark’s approach to the kinked demand curve offers valuable insights into typically overlooked properties of imperfect, price-quoting markets, as opposed to the standard implicit assumption of perfect markets.

Without citing Fisher however, in 1958 Franco Modigliani and Merton Miller reutilised his framework to found the organisational finance theory awarded several Nobel prizes. This organisational finance theory is highly supportive of the financialisation of societies. It advocates that organisations exist to maximise their owners’/shareholders’ wealth, a ‘perfect markets fallacy’, and the elimination of taxes and regulations. Furthermore, it contends an unverified separation theorem between financial and productive sectors, or among financial, investing, and operating decisions.

Strategies to introduce the British model of society into Sicily of 1812.1 Abstract: The paper explores the events which determined the transition of Sicily from the ancien regime towards a modern liberal society. The key figures selected to understand this historical moment are the economist Paolo Balsamo, professor at Regia Università di Palermo, and the Scottish gentleman Gould Francis Leckie, whose profile as landowner and scholar concealed his intelligence activity in Sicily. This essay shows how British policy and Sicilian ruling class conceived a plan to transform the island by importing a model of capitalist society from the United Kingdom and entrusted it to the cultural and political role exercised by Balsamo.

This paper contends this view by discussing the conceptualisation of the nature and role of money as it emerges from the juridical literature considering the forms of settlement of a monetary loan. Considering the paying power of money, then, it appears that the medieval authors conceived money as first and foremost a unit to express debts and prices; this money of account was considered as firmly distinct from the various means of payment that could be used to discharge a debtor of what was due. In this context, a nominal monetary mutation—that is, a change in the value of a coin in terms of money of account—was considered to have effect on the paying power of that coin in the debt contract, that remained anchored to the nominal expression, not to the intrinsic metal content per unit of value.

Originally, Simon emphasised cognition in economics and the environment in psychology to meet specific disciplinary interests. Continuing adaptively to emphasise cognition in economics has led, then, to significant unintended consequences: (i) the easier assimilation of Simon’s bounded rationality by neoclassical economics, and (ii) the persistent confusion between Simon’s and Kahneman and Tversky’s contribution. Seeing the recognition of his credit endangered, Simon reemphasised the environment when Gigerenzer introduced environment-based ecological rationality.

The present paper ventures a hypothetical reconstruction of this approach by identifying the salient parallels between Barnard’s thought and Niklas Luhmann’s theory of social systems as well as Alfred North Whitehead’s philosophy of organism. While these parallels are by no means perfect, Barnard seems to have anticipated the Luhmannian view of organisations as complexity-reducing systems navigating a precarious outer environment. Drawing on Whitehead, Barnard argued that organisations may succeed with this task insofar as they operate as organismic wholes.

Relevant literature is scarce and focuses on the post-war period. To extend this literature, I argue that there was a doctrine of CBI in the 1920s. I examine its development from an international recommendation and a principle of the central banking doctrine designed by the British governor Norman to the elaborate doctrine of Kisch & Elkin. The paper’s main contribution is a detailed analysis of the doctrine of CBI provided in their reference book on central banking.

Yet his early analyses of logical reasoning made him one of the first social scientists to consider the importance of the hypothesis of common knowledge. By retracing Lacan's path in his discovery of game theory, we show how much he has been a precursor in applying it. While accommodating a narrative approach, he demonstrated rigour and originality. Soliciting mathematicians open to interdisciplinarity, he introduced as early as 1945 modes of reasoning which corresponds to reasoning based on common knowledge.

It wonders why necessities are cheap while luxury goods are useless but expensive. Often Adam Smith is cited as the “inventor” of the paradox. Few economists seem to realise that it was voiced by numerous writers before. This article focuses on the Church Fathers, and discusses the role and interpretation of the paradox in their works. It argues that although these “theologians” did not take the analysis of the paradox much further than their philosophical predecessors, they elaborated on the subjectivity of value and price, thus contributing to the genesis of the economic theory of value.

The Cowles approach to empirical methodology was vigorously contested at the University of Chicago by Milton Friedman (a former student of Burns and Mitchell), notably in Cowles seminars, in a defence of “Wesley Mitchell as an Economic Theorist” and at a 1949 NBER conference on business cycles. This paper examines the two contrasting approaches to empirical economics at the University of Chicago in the late 1940s and early 1950s, at the confrontations and exchanges between the two approaches, which contributed to the 1955 move of Cowles from Chicago to Yale.

It begins by recapping Pareto’s early works based on cardinal utility and continuity. After that, Cassel’s proposal of an elementary framing for general equilibrium with discontinuous functions is presented. The next section covers some unpublished letters between Pareto, Maffeo Pantaleoni, and Cassel related to the issue. It is followed by a review of the reception of Cassel’s ideas advanced in his 1899 Grundriss. In the end, some reflections are offered on the scientific implications of the principle of continuity to neoclassical economics.

Participation data gathered from various sources reveals 1777 unique participants. In order to study their regular engagement with ESHET, we focus only on a group of 476 scholars who attended at least three conferences. We collect available biographic data on this smaller group of regular attendees and analyse their educational background, career trajectories, geographical and gender representation. With this prosopography we depict the evolving structure of the history of economic thought community in Europe and beyond.

The Kadro was first and foremost developmentalist, given the circumstances of an undeveloped country situated in an unstable region caught in the repercussions of the collapsing world market. It was an innovative cluster open to team work to put forward an international political economic perspective for advancing economic thought and policy during the Great Depression. It is thus among the precursors of Latin American dependency theory.

Externalities, climate change, and governmental action Abstract: In 2018 William Nordhaus was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics for his contributions to the macroeconomics of climate change. Nevertheless, Nordhaus since the early 1970s was engaged in an academic struggle to contrast the major supporters of The Limits to Growth. Later, though acknowledging some impact of climate change on economic activity and suggesting taxes on greenhouse emissions, he systematically opposed pessimistic views concerning global warming; thus putting off governmental action. The aim of this paper is to enquire into the Nordhaus’s contributions to the economics of climate change, and their impact on academic and public debates.

It plays an even lesser role in contemporary orthodox consumption functions which are extensions of these two theories in a rational-expectations framework. As a result, the theoretical effectiveness of fiscal policy for raising output is greatly diminished. The paper argues that Keynes’ and Duesenberry’s approaches were marginalised not because of their empirical or theoretical shortcomings, but because of emphasising the psychological and social influences on consumption patterns, and because of not employing the intertemporal utility maximising framework.

This paper reformulates Pascal’s wager in terms of two-outcome finite payoffs (one before death and one after death). The proposed reformulation accentuates the lexicographic nature of decision maker’s preferences. Lexicographic preferences violate the continuity axiom—a standard assumption of many theories of decision making under risk and uncertainty. Since Pascal’s wager assumes lexicographic (i.e., discontinuous) preferences, it is appropriate to represent the latter with lexicographic utility and not conventional expected utility theory.

This article attempts a systematic comparison between Burke and Smith and shows in detail how Burke’s concern with political stability, a great source of his economic thinking, helped distinguish his political economy from that of Smith’s. Burke was especially concerned with the link between the conservation of manners and social development. The differences between Burke and Smith suggest their economic thought could be read in distinct contexts of Enlightenment thought.

They were published in the late 1760s in Greifswald, then under Swedish rule, and their translator, Dähnert, managed to remove most traces of Quesnay’s despotism. While the French infatuation with China is the topic of innumerable works, the Sinophilia of Germany and Sweden has been less studied1 and is illustrated with these publications. The paper suggests that Physiocracy and Despotisme de la Chine had a direct influence on the 1772 coup of Gustav III.

It seeks to understand the emergence of the “Harvard tradition” around the spread of a set of common and identifiable tools and concepts. The paper identifies a specific subject of study bringing together a group of economists. This is the hypothesis of “mutual dependence recognized,” which fosters the development of the theory of tacit collusion in oligopoly. This theory was developed by Edward Chamberlin and gradually taken up in several contributions from the 1930s and early 1940s by economists like Bain, de Chazeau, Galbraith, Kaysen, Mason, Schumpeter and Triffin. These authors, who all had connections with Harvard, appropriated Chamberlin’s theory in pursuit of four goals. First, the possibility of tacit collusion in oligopoly allowed them to provide theoretical grounds for explaining price rigidities. Second, the oligopoly issue fostered the development of new tools for identifying oligopolies and accounting for firms’ behaviour and strategic interaction. Third, these tools were regularly mobilised in debates among economists about the “basing point system”. This pricing method was used at the time in the iron, steel and cement industries and led these economists to address the question of how effective antitrust laws were. Fourth, it led some Harvard economists to entirely reappraise the very nature of mid-century American capitalism.

James Mill on comparative advantage Abstract: During recent decades, David Ricardo’s ideas on international trade have been submitted to new scrutiny. This research has led to a new understanding of the so-called ‘principle of comparative advantage’ and shown that the alleged ‘Ricardian’ model of foreign trade is based on a misunderstanding of Ricardo’s text. The present paper focuses on the role of James Mill in the creation of the Ricardian vulgate. It shows how the evolution of Mill’s thought, in part due to a didactic perspective and some difficulties raised by his numerical examples, distorted Ricardo’s approach. In Mill we find all the ingredients of what is called the ‘Ricardian’ model of foreign trade, substituting an ex-ante perspective for Ricardo’s ex-post approach.

Despite resistance from other economists to this narrative, Thaler persisted with this revolutionary style up to the 2010s and promoted an “us versus them” identity for BE. In the present article, we investigate the role of Thaler’s narrative and show that it has played an important part in BE’s successes and identity. Thaler’s narrative has stimulated imitation by creating a story out of scattered anomalies and laying out a simple scientific model to follow. The narrative has fostered a revolutionary identity for BE, promoted the more innovative aspects of BE and encouraged some behavioural economists to adopt a more confrontational approach. Although Thaler’s narrative lacked resolution – Thaler himself acknowledged the uncertainties related to BE’s revolutionary characteristics – it has shaped the history of behavioural economics.

Although Wieser evolved marginalist theories of value and imputation, he set institutional bounds to them. As his sociological investigations presented perspective that went beyond neo-classicist scopes, Wieser thus provided insightful arguments on capitalistic labour that could be likened to those of Karl Marx. Despite their incompleteness, Wieser’s thoughts on labour carried a potential that differed from the subsequent course that the neoclassical school pursued.

In the Wealth of Nations Smith argued the priority of “natural progress” over the model of historical progress as evidenced by many contemporary historians. These two competing exercises in philosophical history raise the previously unexplored question of what are critical tests to justify which model is the best, with Smith’s wide use of scientific realist standards such as seeking for underlying general causality, generality in explanatory and predictive power, and appeal to the arts of persuasion.

The article aims to provide a historical reconstruction of this research program, starting with Hicks’ Value and Capital (1939). It departs from existing narratives by its focus on the concept of substitutability. It is argued that the concept combined various qualities that made it an element of positive heuristic in the research program. The article chronicles the collapse of this positive heuristic in the 1970s and reevaluates the role of Sonnenschein-Mantel-Debreu results.

The discipline argument was introduced after WWI in support for a restoration of the gold standard. The interwar failure led to an emphasis on international balances, the argument which came to the fore in the preparations for the Bretton Woods system. The balance argument was central in the early discussions of monetary union in Europe, but with the criticism of Keynesianism the discipline argument became determinant in the design of the Economic and Monetary Union.

The Keynes Plan rests on the intertwining of two intellectual advances. The first was drawn from Keynes’ analysis of the international context inherited from the 1930s and the disruption of international payments. The clearing agreements first developed by Germany in 1931 were pioneering experiences in Europe that contributed to the generalisation of exchange controls and clearing offices. The second advance is related to the original Keynesian understanding of the “banking principle”, which Keynes wanted to transpose at the international level. Keynes revamped the clearing agreements in force in Europe during the 1930s to set out the International Clearing Union.

This interpretation points to the presence of an alleged derogatory influence of the Historical School, intertwined with an advocacy of statism and economic nationalism. Here, we show that the literature has questioned this sort of interpretation and collaborate to this renewed perspective. We examine definitions of political economy presented in German textbooks during the 19th century, to consubstantiate the claim that there was a coexistence of perspectives in German political economy, rather than a unanimous “exceptional” approach.

Credit mechanics and related approaches were developed by a group of German monetary economists during the 1920s-1960s. Credit mechanics overcomes a one-sided, bank-centric view of money creation, which is often encountered in monetary theory. We show that the money supply is influenced by the interplay of loan creation and repayment rates; the relative share of credit volume neutral debtor-to-debtor and creditor-to-creditor payments; the availability of loan security; and the behaviour of non-banks and non-borrowing bank creditors. With the standard textbook models of money creation now discredited, we argue that a more general approach to money supply theory involving credit mechanics needs to be re-established.

However, on a couple of important issues—the exogeneity and constancy of the minimum of wages; and the tendency of population to increase faster than capital—, Hisamatsu’s model appears to be at variance with Torrens’s genuine point of view. The aim of my paper is then to provide an alternative to Hisamatsu’s reconstruction of Torrens’s dynamic vision of a growing economy.

It begins by devoting attention to Hansen’s understanding of stagnation as a cyclical process; a marked contrast to the term’s current usage. As discussed, the stagnation thesis is an outgrowth of what will be called Hansen’s ‘weakened-cycle hypothesis’, which he put forth in the final pages of his 1927 monograph Business-Cycle Theory. The key ideas informing Hansen’s early view on weakening fluctuations were drawn from continental business-cycle theory, and most notably from the works of Arthur Spiethoff and Gustav Cassel.

Within this context, the tendency towards a uniform rate of profit makes absolute costs relevant for the analysis of specialisation patterns. A historical and analytical reconstruction is presented of a few significant contributions addressing this point, with a particular focus on the possibility of exclusion from trade and production “desertification” caused by a country’s low profitability of capital. A generalisation of a result obtained by Parrinello is provided.

The social and economic effects of theodicy in Vico and Genovesi Abstract: This paper explores the implications for modern economic thought of the debate on Theodicy, i.e., the coexistence of a good, almighty God and worldly evils. In the 17th century, this problem was raised by Pierre Bayle. The analysis focuses on the 18th century Italian school of Civil economy represented by Antonio Genovesi. Our argument is that Genovesi, and Giambattista Vico before him, reacted to Bayle’s Manichaean and Atheistic view on theodicy, and that Genovesi’s reaction influenced his view of the market as a place of mutual assistance where the invisible hand holds a secondary and subsidiary role compared to virtues in promoting the common good.

Although the 1937 paper is usually regarded as the foundation of discounted utility theory, and rightly so, it is primarily concerned with utility measurement and deals only indirectly with decision over time – intertemporal issues appearing as a by-product of the realisation of a unique utility measure. But the treatment of discounted utility in turn influenced Samuelson’s understanding of cardinality. Cardinality appears here as the result of a cognitive ability that manifests when agents face a decision experiment over time in which they are compelled to cardinalize their utility functions. The result is the weak plausibility of cardinality in a more general context, such that, contrary to the usual views, we may say that Samuelson’s ordinalist approach was already in the making in 1937.

Tinbergen built these ideas in the framework of nonlinear models, which he used to shed a new light on several policy problems: wage changes, government expenditure and its relation to pump-priming, and the regulation of purchasing power. This work on multiple equilibria was complementary to the macroeconometric models developed in the late 1930s, where linearity was justified by the assumption of small shocks.

In the latter field, his focus was on Keynes’ “principle of effective demand” from Chapter 3 of the General Theory. Having submitted a first interpretation of the “principle” in 1976 – in which he claimed that it contains major flaws – Patinkin revisited the subject several times over the next couple of years. In this process, his interpretation changed markedly. The aim of this paper is to trace (and to comment on) the evolution of Patinkin’s interpretation of the theory of effective demand.

First, the essay is an explicit criticism of Delamare’s Treatise on the police (Traité de la police) and of the French regulations of the grain trade. Against them, Herbert promotes new principles grounded on a specific conception of free trade and on the central role played by prices in economics. Reviewing these elements, we may suppose that the success of Herbert’s Essay can also be explained by the conceptions it proposes. These could indeed have been approved both by the proponents of internal and moderate free trade and those of total freedom.

Barnard in the science of organization of Oliver E. Williamson Abstract: Chester Barnard was an American manager and public administrator who greatly influenced economics and the history of economic thought. Oliver Williamson’s early works were published after Barnard’s death, but the intellectual proximity they show to Herbert Simon, along with the significant influence of John Commons on their analysis, brings them closer. This study investigates Barnard legacy (particularly his work in 1938) in Williamson’s “science of organisation” project by analysing the Barnardian origins of his organisational micro-approach from their complementary theories of cooperation.

We document the foundation of the field by Kahneman and Tversky in the 1980s and 1990s; the separation of experimental market economics and BE in the 1990s; the decreasing importance of psychology in the 1990s onward; and the rise of European authors after the 2000s. Overall, we show that after the 1990s, BE transformed from a unified American research program with a clearly identifiable core, to a multipolar and international research program with relatively independent subspecialties. Despite claims that BE is mostly an empirical venture, we show that the field is heavily structured by theoretical contributions. A handful of seminal models capture most of the citations in the field and explain how the subspecialties in BE emerged, stabilised, and became more autonomous from the historical core.

The remaining five belong to three separate trees. There are 376 men in the graph, and five women. Karl Knies is the central-most professor, followed by Wassily Leontief. No classical and few neo-classical economists have left notable descendants. Harvard is the centralmost university, followed by Chicago and Berlin. Most candidates for the Nobel Prize belong to the main family tree, but new trees may arise for the students of Terence Gorman and Denis Sargan.

Lowe developed a tripartite approach to political economics which consists of (1) redefining the economic method, (2) structural modelling and analysis, (3) and redefining the political and educational philosophy. This article details Lowe’s basis for economic and public policy and pays particular attention to the need to create an apt political system centred on fostering economic democracy and promoting the interests of the public as a collective towards social ends.

This article aims to reconstruct Sophie de Grouchy’s criticism of TMS and to show that it is based on a misinterpretation of Smith’s concept of sympathy. In her interpretation, Sophie de Grouchy seems to decontextualise the category of sympathy from the whole of the Scottish thinker’s vision on this topic, adopting an interpretative canon that is strongly influenced by Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s thought.

Cross-referencing the economic aspects of forward selling and the role of the virtue of justice with Aquinas's concepts of sign and analogy leads us to revise our understanding of the just price, drawing a distinction between three different levels of reality (normative, market, and singular exchange), each of which gives rise to analytical, commercial, and strategic risks. This risk-analysis grid offers a basis for a new reading of his later works, notably the Summa theologiae.

He developed a Token Theory of Money, a nominalistic monetary theory with an endogenous quantity of money but warns of the danger of misuse. Only therefore, he combines his understanding of money as a right—as a legal claim on goods and services—with a metallistic conception of gold money. Lansburgh was misunderstood during his time, and he remains so until today. He was often described as an “orthodox gold money theorist,” but he was a passionate “token money theorist,” with many similarities e.g. to Joseph Schumpeter.

Marshall incorporates the procedure of historical improvement, as provided by Hegel, and the elimination of uncertainty, as proposed by Locke, within his analysis of economics. While Knight correctly notices that Marshall fails to acknowledge uncertainty, Knight does not examine the philosophy that drives this failure in Marshall.

In his governmental plan for Corsica, Rousseau sees an infirm political body about to heal, grow, and prosper under changing conditions, not a static experiment of autarkic agrarianism. Therefore, Rousseau's prescriptions of a hybrid economy, intergenerational office-holding, and future-oriented defence are themselves designed to evolve over time. Rethinking Rousseau's concept of time clarifies long-running debates over the seemingly conflicting images of the philosopher. Neither ‘founding’ nor ‘re-founding’ Corsica, Rousseau legislates in the interim, aiming for the longevity, not the immortality, of a healthy political economy.

However, these issues are related and a long-debated notion among Austrians, namely time, relates investment, entrepreneurship, uncertainty and Menger’s tentative quasi-anthropology (kept in his notes). This paper conscientiously investigates those issues through Menger’s views on the notion of time.

The first purpose of the paper is to show that Carl Menger would have rejected Ludwig von Mises’ methodological apriorism. Second, I argue that Carl Menger was a pluralist about the methods of theoretical economics and that Mises was rather less of a pluralist, if not altogether a monist, about the legitimate method(s) of economic theorising. Finally, I try to establish the broad consistency of Menger’s pluralism with the tolerant methodological attitude of his son, the mathematician, logician, and philosopher of science, Karl Menger.

Wieser recognised the problem and replaced the two notions by the economy-wide objective exchange value of money. Wieser was thus able to avoid Manger’s ambiguity and reached a more optimistic conclusion in terms of the potential of activist monetary policy to facilitate economic progress and development. This conclusion, however, can be questioned if Menger’s value theoretic foundations are correct, despite the ambiguity in his analysis.

On the contrary, Menger pretended empiricism. His application of subjective evaluation and his theoretical explanation of organic institutions are here seen as embedded in the Continental stream of enlightened liberalism inspired by the Lockean theory of knowledge. This methodological stream that deals with decision-making under uncertainty includes Galiani, Condillac, and Turgot, possibly preceded by Vico.

Author-X-Name-Last: Kurz Title: Re-reading Carl Menger’s Grundsätze – another book that “cries out to be surpassed”* Abstract: The paper re-assesses (the non-monetary part of) Carl Menger’s Grundsätze (1871). It begins by pointing out that representatives of the so-called “German Use Value School” elaborated the theory of marginal utility prior to Menger. The paper then turns to Menger’s criticism of the theories of value and distribution of the classical economists and draws the attention to some important misunderstandings by him. After a summary account of Menger’s alternative construction, the paper informs about the criticisms put forward against it especially by his two main students, Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk and Friedrich von Wieser. It is then argued that contrary to Menger’s view, relative prices reflect inter alia the substances that “transmigrate” into commodities in the course of production. Despite the numerous objections levelled at it, the Grundsätze are nevertheless a “great” work, because it invites to correct what is problematic in it and develop what is sound.

In the first place, this concerns the goal of constancy of the value of money, but also his theory of money under uncertainty, his attitude towards the banking system, and other issues. The contribution also discusses the fundamental political dimension of pursuance of monetary policy goals and the anti-interventionist orientation of the economic liberalism of the representatives of later generations of the Austrian School.

The focus here is not, however, on defining this originality relative to economists of the past, that is either the so-called “founders” of the “Neo-classical School” (such as Léon Walras or Vilfredo Pareto), or Menger’s followers (such as Friedrich von Wieser or Friedrich Hayek). Instead, this contribution focuses the originality and the modernity of Menger’s work in relation to the various forms of contemporary economics with a view to investigate the remaining and persistent relevance of Menger’s approach for modern economics. Specifically, this paper focuses on three main concepts that express the modernity and originality of Menger’s works: time, uncertainty and knowledge. It finally stresses the relation between Menger and modern complexity economics.

Author-X-Name-Last: Boettke Title: Menger and contemporary Austrian economics: knowledge, institutions and liberalism Abstract: Carl Menger’s Principles of Economics was published in 1871, and was a central text in the marginalist revolution in economic theory. From the beginning, however, it was recognised that Menger’s “Austrian” brand of neoclassical economics stood out from the contributions of Jevons and Walras in the marginal revolution due to his emphasis on subjectivism, price formation through bargaining and exchange, the passage of time in production and exchange activity, and the evolution of institutions in addition to the focus on choice against constraints. In this paper, I attempt to trace out Menger’s continuing influence on the contemporary Austrian School of economics in terms of methodology, analytical economics, and social philosophy.

To discuss this issue, we try to show a possible pathway to integrate the analytical part of his work with the historical analysis based on the materialist philosophical anthropology proposed by Marx. We will examine first the joint vision of Garegnani and Andrea Ginzburg to trace a compatibility between Sraffa’s thought and Marx’s thought, then we put forward some hints for a non-deterministic theory through Gramsci’s philosophy of praxis.

It proposes an interpretation of the debate drawing on the theory of scales later introduced by Stevens in 1946. This shows that, contrary to an intuitive perception, their divergence on the possibility of a cardinal measure of utility was rooted less in mathematical than in cognitive arguments related to the way transitions between allocations are considered. Consequently, although Samuelson succeeded in giving appropriate conditions for cardinality, he based his own mistrust towards its plausibility on arguments later used in the framework of reference-dependent approaches.

That article is widely considered as pathbreaking, starting a movement that changed the professional standards of doing macroeconomics. It arguably also affected the perception, if not the conduct of monetary policy and other stabilisation policies. This roundtable discussion collects comments from a panel of experts in a combination of prominent macroeconomists who have gathered ample experience of work in central banks and other authorities, and historians of economic thought.

Here the purpose is to examine how Anglicanism and Aristotelianism informed Burke’s economics. Through his tract Thoughts and Details on Scarcity, it is attempted to answer what role Christian charity played in his thought and how Burke’s concept of Aristotelian justice informed his economic ideas. Overall, the goal is to provide for a case study on connecting economic to political and religious thought in the 18th-century.

Their plans had different theoretical roots: Fisher’s compensated dollar plan was the outcome of his quantity theory of money, while Newcomb held a classical monetary theory. We compare Newcomb’s and Fisher’s plans to stabilise the dollar and explore the theoretical rationales behind them offering an illustration of how similar proposals can be the result of different theories.

He contributed to the debate around the cause of the disease pellagra. This research was followed by many studies quantifying income-related health inequalities. Sydenstricker was heavily involved in the use of surveys to collect information and he was instrumental in the development of the first US National Health Survey. Other contributions include extending health insurance in the United States and methods of evaluating public health programs.

Schumpeter. Considering their intellectual heritage, methodology and scope, we propose a three-sphere framework to analyse their theories and study the interdependencies within capitalism. The three spheres essential to both thinkers are the political, the socio-cultural and the economic: the latter dominates the others in capitalist societies. The resulting rationalisation (Schumpeter) and commodification (Polanyi) distort the socio-cultural sphere and transcend towards the political sphere which undermines democracy. Applying our framework, we identify similar transitional mechanisms but derive different implications for society.

His claim that he proposed the first macrodynamic analysis and that microdynamic schemes were limited to single markets or individual behaviours influenced the subsequent development of economic models. But the division was above all between tools: maximisation at the individual level, and dynamic analysis at the aggregate level. What was at stake was the question of economic rationality and whether it could be extended to an aggregate system. This paper reconstructs the different research programs to give a new picture of the development of early mathematical models in economics.

The multiple histories of economic texts Abstract: Today doing history of economic thought can mean many things. Most fundamentally, they are the different questions, rather than the methods chosen to answer them, that give rise to varying examinations of the products of previous economists. As a classification, four kinds of questions are suggested. The answers to the various questions may sometimes complement and reinforce each other. But if they do not, this should not necessarily be a problem for continued dialogue. All one needs is an acknowledgment that different perspectives are not mutually exclusive.

Based on his interpretation of western ideas, he saw material conditions as the crucial factor of economic development and suggested a set of measures that would ensure the improvement of the country’s productivity. Zhukovsky’s eclectic views differed from the ideas of the radical intelligentsia and the liberals, thus making his contribution unique.

It re-emerged, after a relatively long time, in Krugman’s Liquidity Trap model. Later, it was placed at the hearth of the Secular Stagnation theory by Summers. It is argued that Krugman’s negative natural rate of interest ensues from theoretical premises analogous to those present in Samuelson’s overlapping-generations model. In turn, Samuelson obtained a negative equilibrium interest rate by opportunely recasting Böhm-Bawerk’s three causes for a positive rate of interest. The present paper illustrates and analyses this line of thought until its recent developments.

The background of this unpublished letter is also explained. Adam Smith sent this unpublished letter to Richard Elliston Philips, Esq, who was secretary to the Board of Customs in Scotland. Importantly, this letter is worth studying because it enables us to understand Smith’s activities at the Customs House. Furthermore, the unpublished letter referenced Smith’s last visit to London. The letter indicates what Smith did not want to do during this visit.

After his involvement in the early meetings of the Econometric Society, he worked on different dynamic models accounting for this instability. In 1934, he built a macrodynamic model generating new types of economic movements that did not return to a stationary state. This led him in 1936 to consider the possibility of having two equilibria, with damped or self-sustained cycles around the high equilibrium and a collapse around the low equilibrium. Tinbergen saw these models, with reference to Irving Fisher’s 1933 paper, as a way to interpret the potential of a crisis to trigger the collapse of the economy. In the end, it turns out that Tinbergen managed to extend the perspective for the study of the business cycle mechanism to non cyclical behaviours which, strikingly, remains almost totally ignored in most histories of macroeconomics and econometrics.

It draws both from her theoretical work and her engagement in the public debate, including her interactions with William Beveridge and his welfare plan for post-war Britain. An assessment of Wootton’s published and unpublished works allows for correlating her views on economic theory and policy with the role of the state. We claim that Wootton’s critique of economic theory and her understanding of reality provided a sound foundation for her policy-making prescriptions, which contributed to a more interventionist perspective of Britain’s welfare state.

How did they meet and live (happily) ever after? Abstract: This article contributes to the study of the historical relationship between macroeconomics and financial economics. We investigate the interactions, in the 1960s and 1970s, between two research programmes—“rational expectations macroeconomics” (or “new classical macroeconomics”) and the efficient market hypothesis. We uncover the back-and-forth-dialogue between these two research programmes, which took place along the 1970s. We identify Sargent’s contribution on the term structure of interest rates (and ensuing debates) as the starting point of this dialogue. We then highlight how rational expectations models reshaped the definition and assessment of the efficient market hypothesis in financial economics.

It shows that this theory was essentially structured into three stages. The first stage is based on the so called imperfect competition theory and/or the degree of monopoly in the 1920s and 1930s, which was based in turn on an indirect approach and profit maximisation. This was followed by a second period of distancing from and questioning of this work, before a third period of structuring and convergence towards a more direct and inclusive approach focussing on growth and self-financing of investment in the 1970s. This evolution raises issues in terms of analysis and economic policy.

She called for radical transformations of the economy of the home as a way of promoting the “new woman” which would reduce social tensions and improve the economy. Gilman’s most valuable contribution to economics was that she permanently made gender economics a decisive analytical framework for her successors to use in many of their own works.

Fortescue’s criteria for judging between different regimes are pragmatic: the main reason for his preference for the temperate monarchy of England is the fact that it gives all inhabitants full enjoyment of the fruits of their labour, and encourages the economic growth of all parts of the realm.

Yet, the reverse proposal appears far less elusive and as significant. From the analysis of Malinvaud’s writings, I set forth three significant feedback effects of economic expertise on macroeconomics, which has (i) become oversensitive to the results of economic policies, (ii) behaved as a tool for decision-making, and (iii) been impelled to search for internal consensus in order to guide policymaking. Taken together, these feedback effects of economic expertise draw how macroeconomics has been structurally intertwined with policymakers’ needs and issues since World War II, thus providing new insights on the “Keynesian consensus” in France and the broader history of macroeconomics.

As is well known, the Keynes plan was conceived as a response to the Nazi plan to establish a multilateral clearing system for regulating trade relations in the economic space of the countries occupied by the Third Reich. However, Keynes did not elaborate a plan radically opposed to the Nazi proposal, but shared its essential core. While being opposite sides of the conflict, both Nazi Germany and the British government proposed the same monetary order, based on multilateral clearing system, for the post-war world. The project of a new international monetary order based on the multilateral clearing system was not unanimously shared among the Allies: the United States moved on different lines confirming the centrality of gold in the post-war world order. Economic interests imposed the restoration of gold-exchange standard, based on the dollar supremacy and the Bretton Woods agreement, confirming the political success of Harry Dexter White’s proposal, was a turning point in a spontaneous path towards a new international order based on clearing agreements. Keynes proposed an economically realistic solution, based on the experience of clearing agreements resulting from the collapse of the gold exchange standard, but his plan was politically unrealistic in the face of the interests of the United States superpower. Keynes did not accept a compromise, but was simply defeated.

It argues that conventional economics generally tends to assume an ambivalent, dualistic position on social stratification, especially class structure and distribution, expressed in a dual approach to the matter. The first approach consists in neglecting or downplaying stratification, plus treating it as transient and benign, and explaining and rationalising it by “natural” and/or transcendental causes. The second approach involves recognising and stressing the existence and relevance of class and generally social stratification, particularly the arbitrary institutional nature and adverse effects of the unequal distribution of wealth and income. The paper intends to make two contributions to the history of economic thought. They are, first, disclosing an implicit, rudimentary and partly overlooked debate on social stratification in the history of economic thought, and second, helping develop a more complete, explicit and systematic historical account of the subject. These goals and contributions can be of high relevance for the history of economic thought for at least two reasons. These are that, first, many economists seem unaware of some debates on social stratification within the latter, and second, a fuller historical account of the subject is necessary or desirable in view of its relative importance historically contemplated. These goals are consistent with the rebirth and growing pertinence of stratification economics. The paper can hence potentially be of interest and relevance to economists working on re-emerging stratification economics as well as to sociologists.

The literature in history of economic thought related to these issues is extensive, especially, in the case of French liberal economists, from the period starting with the writings of Malthus up to the middle of the 19th century. Few studies, however, focus on the position of economic liberals in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The purpose of this paper is therefore to extend the analysis and provide an account of the key debates amongst the French liberal economists of this period concerning what they referred to as “the problem of population”. We shall first see that this “problem” consisted in a stagnation of French population levels due to a drop in the birth rate, leading to negative consequences for the economy and elsewhere. This led economists to name causes and solutions to this decline on which the French liberals were divided. For some authors, the causes arose from a change in lifestyles, for others to increasing intervention by the state. Lastly, we will present the contrasting ideas for solutions to allow the birth rate to increase again. For some, the solution was a moral one: what was needed was a change of mindset. For others, the solution was economic, i.e., the human condition could be improved by free trade. For others, the solution lay in legislation: the state should encourage individuals to have more children.

This paper reviews envelope mathematics and describes its intellectual history on several topics, including housing hedonics. The envelope derivations in this paper shed light on the key distinction in many envelopes between movement along a function in the family and equilibrium shifting from one family member to the next and ensure that the functional forms of the family of curves and their envelope are consistent with each other.

However, his views on some topics often created tensions with his views on other topics. This paper will examine two of these Knightian tensions: his views on the relationship between homo economicus the actual human behavior and his views on the relationship between rational economic behavior and normative economics. It will be argued that Knight anticipated many of the anomalies identified by behavioral economics and yet did so while defending homo economicus to some degree.

Although not as elaborate as Regnault’s model for the random nature of stock prices, there was a Japanese philosopher in the same century whose ideas resembled Fama’s hypothesis that all available information is reflected in market prices. His name was YAMAGATA Bantō. This paper clarifies his contribution to the early concept of the Efficient Market Hypothesis by analysing his discussion on information presented in his 1806 Great Knowledge.

How is it related to his political economy and system of natural liberty? No extensive or specific treatment of these hermeneutical issues has been given in Smith’s scholarship. Answering these questions is fundamental to having a new interpretation of the various links between the legal, political, ethical and economic aspects of Smith’s view of social order. The great theme of good government, which runs through the whole history of Western political-legal thought, if read in relation to the system of natural liberty, provides a different understanding of the thought of Smith on “Political Economy” as the “science of a statesman or legislator” and the new art of good government. Our reconstruction of Smith’s view of good government aims to cast light on and give a new significance to his unfinished project of a new science of society.

A detailed analysis is offered of the evolution in Sismondi’s opinion on the nature of money and the banking system, and the part it plays in his trade cycle theory. Sismondi’s monetary thought is then contextualised with a discussion of his policy-mix in relation to the Napoleonic war financing in Continental Europe. Connections with the upcoming flood of literature in England on the bullion controversy are also offered. Remarks are then suggested on the progressive emergence of an “art of public borrowing” according to which the people who provide the money also control the government. Finally, some reflections are proposed on the explicit connection established by Sismondi between budget deficits, the (ab-)use of inconvertible paper money and the partial collapse of the social contract initiated by banks and the governments using it. The entrenched instability of a market economy (discussed in an earlier article) is reinforced by the banking/credit system that works along similar line than any wealth-producing firm. Hence, thanks to the financial system, wealth does grow faster but at the expense of social justice.

This paper aims to demonstrate that the similarities between both authors are greater than generally believed and that actually some consensus exists in their writings: both authors think that the economic boom is the result of an unsustainable credit expansion and that the depression can be explained by financial or, ultimately, real constraints.

The usual explanation is that they did so out of doctrinal and practical concerns for the effect of the associated rise of monopolies and trusts. A complementary account exists, however, offered by law historians and based on the doctrinal controversies about the true nature of corporations triggered by the famous Santa Clara decision (1886) of the US Supreme Court. The paper casts new light on the latter account by uncovering those aspects of classical economics that made it impossible for its supporters – economists and jurists alike – to unreservedly support the corporate form before and beyond the trust problem.

Hutcheson’s writings on ethics have been taken as inconsistent with his work on jurisprudence and economics. This article argues that Hutcheson’s works are coherent when situated in theological context. We find across Hutcheson’s works a belief that God has benevolently designed the natural order. Hutcheson’s later works outline the rules by which we make our efforts to serve the common good effective in practice. The article contributes to our appreciation of the relationship between theology and the idea of mutual benefits in the history of economic thought.

Ciompa conceived of econometrics as being entirely descriptive, facilitating the conveyance of information in the field of accounting. In contrast, Frisch regarded it as a quantitative and empirical approach to economic theorising. Arguments against Frisch’s conception of econometrics have been brought forward among others by Ciompa’s countrymen of the Austrian School. Ciompa’s own conception is immune to that criticism. It is concluded that modern econometrics should be confined to the narrower descriptive character that Pawel Ciompa originally attached to the term.

An economic historian ahead of his time Abstract: Unsatisfied with the traditional history, d’Avenel focused on quantitative data to understand the past. He built series of prices of multiple goods and services from 1200 onwards to document long-term changes in incomes and prices as a result of the technical progress and in inequalities as captured by the top 1%. Criticised by some contemporary historians, his data were used by Vilfredo Pareto, Irving Fisher, Ragner Frisch or Alfred Marshall and are still exploited. His analysis fertilised various fields in particular the Annales School and his findings on social evolutions attract the interest of 21st-century social scientists.

Hobson Abstract: This paper aims to explore the work of John Atkinson Hobson (1858–1940) in political economy, emphasising his geographical perspective. Hobson, known mainly for his theory of imperialism and as a heretic in economics, was one of the first to discern the uneven geographical dynamics of capitalism and the socio-economic implications of accumulation, considering all the interrelated spatial scales, from the local to international. The main argument is that he applied a form of geographical-historical analysis, and thus, he could be acknowledged as a pioneer in spatial-economic thought or in what geographers today call the geographical political economy approach.

The correspondence debates the reasons why Keynes deemed Gesell’s theory of the rate of interest as incomplete, and his plan of stamped money as impractical. The issue is analysed by referring to the more general theme of the inconsistencies in Keynes’s interest theory, and the unsuccessful attempts he made to strengthen its foundations.

We show that Duns Scotus’s theological voluntarism had an important impact on his economic teachings. Moreover, we suggest that it opened an ontological path that fostered the theorisation of modern economic ideas. Voluntarism undermined the Aristotelian-Thomistic virtue ethics framework and the medieval mistrust of self-interest and commerce typical of voluntarism contrary, i.e., intellectualism. For voluntarist Duns Scotus, human being can promote unintentionally the common good, whereas intellectualism holds intentionality as its pillar.

Pascal solved this problem by backward induction, whereas Fermat—by counting combinations. This paper analyzes a more complex version of the points problem from an anonymous XVth century Italian manuscript stored in the Vatican Apostolic Library. In this manuscript, the problem of points is solved by backward induction in a similar way to Pascal’s train of thought. In this light, Pascal’s pioneering contribution may be not as novel as it is traditionally believed.

To this end, it undertakes a joint consideration of selected works by Pigou, Dalton, Kolm, and Atkinson that have not previously been discussed in connection with each other. Noting that the normative approach to inequality measurement was neglected for almost five decades, the paper inquires into the reasons for this, proposing two explanations: first, that the normative approach was eclipsed by the pretensions to axiological neutrality supposedly proper to economic science; second, that there was a drift towards statistics in the study of personal income distribution, where the measurement of inequality became established as a central axis. Finally, the paper discusses the different factors that contributed to the rebirth of the normative approach and highlights the ways in which the new contributions manifest an awareness of previous discussions of values in economics.

During the period just before he shared in developing the Arrow-Debreu-McKenzie proof of existence of general equilibrium, Arrow moved through a series of papers to prove the non-existence of a social welfare function. The context of Arrow’s non-existence proof for aggregation of individual preferences into social welfare function and to Arrow’s shift from trying to prove a possibility theorem for social welfare to proving an impossibility theorem has been confused by a reprinted and influential reminiscence in which Arrow mis-remembered when he had spent a summer at RAND and when he had presented his impossibility theorem to the Econometric Society.

Among the latter we find a largely unknown piece by Samuelson, a giant in the world of economics, devoted to a central question of Rawls’s framework, namely the maximin, which he supplemented with several virulent letters strongly attacking Rawls’s notions of justice or fairness. A few years later, in a paper written in response to Arrow’s 1985 Tanner Lectures, Samuelson would dedicate a section to “Rawls’s Gratuitism,” caustically remarking that “if something true by definition is a ‘truism,’ then we may perhaps call something gratuitous a ‘gratuitism’.” Focusing on the dialogue between Rawls and Samuelson after A Theory of Justice, paying special attention to their correspondence, the paper aims to shed light on the reasons for Samuelson’s furore against Rawls’s maximin, and to draw some lessons concerning the complex dialogue between Rawls and the economists, both as regards the attitude of the economists towards Rawls and as regards Rawls’s position towards economists and the economy.

Our introduction situates these papers within their intellectual context. To do so, we provide a broad outline of the trajectory of the field beginning with the transformation of welfare economics. Acknowledging the structuring role of Richard Musgrave and James Buchanan for the field, the papers highlight the key role also played by Paul Samuelson in the transition to public economics. Moreover, they underscore how ethical issues were formalised into normative economics at this critical juncture.

The welfare enhancing properties of marginal pricing were a key concern, yet, the technical computation of marginal costs also proved difficult. It was unclear how to compute marginal costs, mainly in view of the discontinuities of the cost function. In the context of post-war reconstruction and of practically implementing a marginal pricing policy, this technical debate was closely linked in France to the “Calais traveller paradox” and the emergence of a new generation of engineer-economists contributing at the same time to the theoretical debate and to the practical implementation of marginal cost pricing. Maurice Allais and Marcel Boiteux, as well as Gabriel Dessus and Roger Hutter contributed to developing national solutions that also spread theoretical thinking internationally. This debate connects with the history of economic calculus and the rise of public economics, as well as the possibility of computing optimal welfare enhancing prices in the face of market failures.

It focuses first on the pioneer contributions of Atkinson and Phelps to integrate Rawls’s maximin into optimal taxation models, and then on their numerous followers during this decade. It shows that the maximin criterion was quickly accepted and appropriated in optimal taxation theory using “Rawlsian” Social Welfare Functions, which are founded on a welfarist interpretation of the maximin, unfaithful to Rawls. I try to explain why public economists made this choice, insisting on issues of simplicity, tractability, and comparisons with other ethical criteria.

An interdisciplinary encounter between public economists and John Rawls in the 1970s Abstract: This article analyses selected interdisciplinary exchanges between analytical political philosophy and public economics in the United States during the 1970s. It focuses on three core themes in which public economists interpreted, discussed, and incorporated concepts from John Rawls’s A Theory of Justice (1971), namely: (1) the limits and uses of utilitarianism as a useful framework for capturing social welfare; (2) the ethics of promoting justice and fairness; and (3) how to promote redistribution through taxation. An exploration of published and unpublished sources (personal correspondence, articles, and books) following the publication of Rawls’s magnum opus reveals an intense engagement from public economists with key Rawlsian concepts in the 1970s, in particular the “maximin.” Whilst such exchange offered important thematic inspiration for making the field more ethically driven and engaged with justice-related issues, generating policy discussions on promoting redistribution through optimal taxation, their exchange remained within the economist’s formal toolbox and way of reasoning. Political philosophy made public economics to become ethical without challenging the core epistemic-methodological foundations of economic reasoning.

In this paper, we propose to contribute to this history by discussing and comparing the works of two major economists of the 20th century, Paul Samuelson and James Buchanan. We show that they both use the same strategy to deal with the positive/normative tension: they adopt a reduced scale of analysis to escape normative judgements – the family for Samuelson and small groups (clubs) for Buchanan. What they do manage at this level is to create examples or models which remove that normative response from the theorist, and ascribe it to the participants. The normative views of the theorist are not involved. Yet, when one shifts back to a larger scale, the positive element of the analysis is less clear, at least in Samuelson’s work.

The local problems and national intellectual traditions that had shaped the centuries-old field of public finance were cast aside in favour of new problems and new methods. From the 1970s onward, public economics became an integrated international field defined by a methodological approach embodied in general equilibrium. Mathematics and optimisation changed the nature of the questions considered. After briefly outlining the historic constitution of the field of public finance and how it was transformed in the middle of the twentieth century, we explain how a new economic theory of public expenditures emerged with one foot in the old public finance and one foot in the new public economics. We then hint at how the integration of risk into economic theory unexpectedly transformed the way economists conceptualised the public sector. Last, we consider how the maximisation of social welfare functions exhibiting a trade-off between equity and efficiency replaced principles of taxation.

It reconstructs some key moments in Einaudi’s thought: the vision of the fiscal process, the legal-political speculation, the last reflections aimed at going beyond both the Italian Tradition in Public Finance and Wicksell’s scheme, up to the synthesis elaborated in the critical point theory. Einaudi shows why the fiscal process is at the heart of horizontal/vertical reciprocities and vicious/virtuous circles between society and state, and why a good polity needs free and morally responsible people.

This paper documents and attempts to explain this transformation, locating its origins in Richard Musgrave’s normative theory of the public household and the adoption by subsequent thinkers of new developments in welfare theory, which was seen to offer a theoretically sophisticated a vision of the state’s role as a response to the problem of market failure.

It looks at disputes about abstraction versus historicism over the long 19th century, in relation to war and the state. It then looks at the historical setting in which Léon Walras and others developed their ideas of political economy. It concludes with reflections on the presence or absence of the state in modern economic history.

A small but substantial collection of publications discusses the role of male economists within the European institutions created after World War II. However, none of them analyzes contributions made by female economists. This paper aims to shed some light on female economists who participated in the reconstruction of Europe through their work in the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OEEC), which was created by the Marshall Plan following the Conference of Sixteen (Conference for European Economic Co-operation). Firstly, we searched for names of female economists who served the institution, hoping that some relevant hidden female figures in the OEEC would resurface. Secondly, through oral history archives and personal documents, we reconstructed the biographies of three female economists who contributed, in different ways, to the activities of the OEEC: Miriam Camp, Florence Kirlin, and Vera Cao Pinna. By comparing these three figures, in terms of their educational and social backgrounds, their narrative, as well as their connections with international networks of experts, we defined their similarities and differences in order to identify the main characteristics that allowed them, even if at different levels and with different roles, to participate in international diplomacy and technical support deployed in the construction and diffusion of the idea of the peaceful, united, and prosperous Europe which we live in today. Tracing back the presence of women in OEEC, this article aims to bring some light on: what did being a woman economist entails in the after WWII in the newborn European institutions and what did it mean in terms of the kind of work and experience a woman could be doing within the process of professionalisation of the economics discipline in the international organisations. We are interested in describing the experiences and self-perceptions of women economists working in male dominated international institutions. Female international thinkers and experts, well known in their own time, were largely overlooked and neglected by scholars, politics, and international history later.

Whereas Grotius inherited at least part of his predecessors’ repugnance of interest lending, he found in his questioning of categories from Roman law the source of both a criticism of the main features of the Scholastic argument and an alternative analysis of interest loans in which the income received by the lender is explained and legitimate.

It is argued that differences in the interpretation of Hume have an epistemological origin, reflecting either a closed-system approach or some kind of open-system approach. These differences are explored in relation to Hume’s own epistemology, historiography, theory of economic development and theory of happiness. Patterns are identified in Hume’s thought which support a particular, open-system, interpretation of his contributions in each area in terms of interdependent processes.

This morality advocates the practice of industry, frugality, self-sacrifice, and the accumulation of savings as a means of enriching the individual and society. From the 19th century to the early 20th century, American political economists preached these virtues. Jessica Peixotto (1864-1941), the first woman professor of economics at Berkeley, conducted a study of the cost of living of a group of university professors in 1927. She considered them an extremely thrifty but relatively poor social group. The purpose of this article is to explain this contradiction put forward by Peixotto. I examine how, in the early 20th century, the thrift culture took a practical turn with the Home Economics movement founded by Ellen H. Richards to educate women. Peixotto’s study shows that professors’ wives apply the precepts of thrift very well, making exemplary management of household resources. Thus, the problem lies in the low level of faculty salary. I argue that Peixotto shows an original point of view, linking thrift to poverty and thinking about the consequences of a thrifty ethos on the negotiation skills of university professors.

The following section shows that these calculations were still in use during the short period—from June 1848 to November 1849—when the time came to determine the precise amount to be given as compensation to the colonists after the loss of their property rights in enslaved people. Accordingly, the nature of property rights in the industrial society were at stake, either from the point of view of socialists thinkers or from the abolition process under the aegis of the government (§3).

It consists of import of Western ideas, their modification under the influence of specific Russian factors, and following influence of modified theories on the Western thought. Among such factors are the special emphasis on social questions and moral norms, the emphasis on spiritual, non-material world, the importance of the peasant question, the great influence of Marxism, a marked mathematical and statistical inclinations of Russian economist and the unique experience of building a centrally planned economy.

The idea of a principle of sociability independent of government was crucial to Smith, who also addressed since the beginning of the Wealth of Nations the advantages of cooperation. However, as this article intends to show, for him sociability did not arise from the need for the assistance of others, as it is often said, but from the desire for deserved esteem.

The long debate on social mobility in Italy (c. 1890–1960) Abstract: In the light of the recent literature on the intellectual history of inequality, this paper offers the first survey and a tentative classification of the Italian literature addressing issues related to social mobility, from the late 19th century to the “Economic Miracle” of the 1950s. During these decades, the foremost Italian economists and statisticians (among others, Pareto, Gini, Einaudi and Pantaleoni) worked on issues highly related to the modern understanding of social mobility, from the role of inheritance to the intergenerational transmission of status. While reflecting the evolution and debates in Italian society, these authors also participated in a broader international debate, which should lead us to reconsider the supposed lack of interest in inequality among the economists of this period.

Schefold begins with methodological remarks and illustrates the general theme by showing how the policies of ordoliberalism involve a dialogue between postulates formulated in the past and revaluations made necessary by new conditions. Von Weizsäcker proposes an economic policy based on a new Hicksian reconstruction and extension of Böhm-Bawerks theory. Maes shows how modern central banks do historical research which may induce them to take some distance from ongoing research and to avoid a “this time is different” view. Boianovsky provides highlights of the history of development economics and its policy implications. Feldman uses history of economic thought to find solutions for recurrent balance-of-payments crises affecting peripheral economies.

Misconceptions and neglected insights from the productivity controversy in the classical period Abstract: This article aims to explore how the productivity controversy of the classical period, in which Adam Smith’s concept of productive and unproductive labor was debated, has influenced the general view of services. It provides important insights into the specific characteristics of services that have emerged in this debate and that can be used for further developing a theory of services. It shows that certain innovative concepts previously proposed by authors like Heinrich von Storch, William Nassau Senior, and Friedrich List deserve to be rediscovered for a modern analysis of services.
