E-Book Overview
''Research in the History of Economic Thought and Methodology'' is an annual research series which presents in three volumes materials in two fields, both broadly considered: the history of economic thought; and the methodology of economics. Volume 27 A features articles on classical and modern economic thought (Smith's lecturing, editing the Harrod papers, Viner's reminiscences of the New Deal, Lavoie's lectures, and recent relational conceptions of the individual), and includes review essays on books about historical figures in economics (Schumpeter, Keynes, Mincer) and the historical treatment of particular movements or issues in the discipline (Chicago School, comparative economic history, economic growth, postmodernism, and ethics). Volume 27 B is devoted to a collection of primary materials about Henry George's relation to the Irish land question. Volume 27 C contains course notes from Oxford and the University of Chicago taken by F. Taylor Ostrander and Glenn Johnson, an autobiographical account of Ostrander's career, and some other notes and correspondence related to his work and studies.
