Progress in Political Economy↑

This blog is a venue for thought about political economy in and beyond the academy. It is linked to faculty members, students, alumni, journalists, and others associated with the Department of Political Economy at the University of Sydney. At Sydney, ‘political economy’ means studying the economic within its social and political context, and therefore treating economics as a social science. ‘Political economy’ is a term with some pedigree, shared by Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx and Max Weber, before the fragmentation of the social sciences into economics, sociology and politics.

The history of the blog builds on the pedigree of the critique of political economy, then, as well as the vision and dedication of Cemal Burak Tansel who designed the first iteration of Progress in Political Economy (PPE) from 2014 to 2020. If we take seriously the notion that it is essential to ‘educate the educators’ – as delineated in the Theses on Feuerbach –  then we owe a great deal in this regard to Burak as a guide, inspiration, and reservoir of continued support. 

At Sydney, the Department of Political Economy developed out of Economics, as documented in the book Political Economy Now!, which traces the struggle for alternative economics at the University since the introduction of new courses in political economy in 1974, including the history of economic thought and the political economy of development and underdevelopment.

Economics in the Rear-View Mirror: Origins of the Graduate Economics Canon in the United States↑

Thanks to an INET grant for a project “Origins of the Graduate Economics Canon in the United States”, Irivin Collier has been able to visit important archives at Chicago, Columbia, Duke, Harvard, the Hoover Institution, M.I.T. and Yale.  In this archival work he has gathered enormous amounts of curricular material (e.g. students’ and professors’ notes, course syllabi, examinations) as well as information such as course staffing, departmental procedures, and Ph.D. requirements for several leading economics departments, pre-1950. With this archival material collected for my project I can post the turns and trends as well identify key constellations of players and institutional structures that have led us to where we are today, namely, to an extraordinarily narrow conception of what a young economist needs to know in order to advance and apply the science of economics to significant problems.

To make some of the material I have gathered in the project available to the growing communities of economic historians and historians of economics, a few months ago I started up what I like to think of as a boutique content-blog: Economics in the Rear-View Mirror, Archival Artifacts from the History of Economics. In these first months of my blog I am focusing on getting a respectable stock of relevant “artifacts” prepared and presented online. Interpretative work and commentary will naturally follow, especially as questions are raised and suggestions are made in comments posted by future visitors.

With this blog, Economics in the Rear-view Mirror (first posting on May 8, 2015), I am sharing a growing selection (here is the list of 186 artifacts thus far) of historical material I have gathered in my project devoted to the evolution of the undergraduate and graduate teaching of economics in the United States from the 1880s through the 1950s. Thanks to an inaugural research grant from the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), I have spent significant time in the Harvard, Columbia, Chicago, and Yale archives as well as in the Hoover Institution Archive and at the Duke University Economists’ Papers Project. I do hope that the material provided here helps the academic community of historians of economics, practicing or in-training. Down the road, I also hope to attract student volunteers for a collaborative, crowdsourced project to digitalize economics course notes from generations of past economists.
