The Rivals: Paul Samuelson and Milton Friedman arrive at the University of Chicago – in 1932
A really important intellectual history of American Economics since 1932 from Economic Principals which self-describes as “A WEEKLY COLUMN ABOUT ECONOMICS AND POLITICS, FORMERLY OF THE BOSTON GLOBE, INDEPENDENT SINCE 2002, David Warsh, proprietor”
For those like me who are not professional economists it very helpfully puts all the major players into both institutional and intellectual context. Everybody who is anybody.
Hmm on further poking around this looks to be somewhere in the middle of a 15 part series. Which together would make for a book sized read. I have the series bookmarked.
So there once was a time when Economics seemed an advancing science, rather than a set of warring religious creeds. Who today would ever imagine it?
