Summary:

The twelve essays by respected economists and historians collected here take a precise look at the mechanisms that brought about the shift from pluralism to neoclassicism in American economics. They discuss such topics as the demise of the Social Gospel Movement, the role of general education and graduate study in Chicago economics, the Sherman Antitrust Act, the transformation of economics through a survey of journal articles, and changes in American monetary thought.

This is the 1998 supplement to the journal History of Political Economy. All 1998 subscribers will receive a copy of this book as part of their annual subscription.
