Volume 37A of Research in the History of Economic Thought and Methodology features a symposium edited by Tiago Mata, celebrating 50 years of the Union of Radical Political Economics. It also includes an essay by Mauro Boianovsky, and is accompanied by a series of reflections from esteemed colleagues, all focused on Arthur Lewis and the classical foundation of development economics.  The Volume further includes an important new archival contribution (edited and introduced by Malcolm Rutherford) from the papers of Alvin Hansen, in which the famous Harvard economist reflects on the contributions of his teacher, John R. Commons, on the occasion of the latter’s 70th birthday in November 1932.

This first volume of 2019 contains a symposium marking 50 years of the Union for Radical Political Economics, essays on the thought of Arthur Lewis and responses to it, and a paper from the series archives. Among the topics are American radical economists in Mao's China: from hopes to disillusionment, in search of the socialist subject: radical political economy and the study of moral incentives in the Third World, Arthur Lewis and the classical foundations of Development: economic history and institutional change, Lewis and Kuznets on economic growth and income inequality, and the contribution of John R. Commons to American economics. -- Annotation ©2019 * (protoview.com) *
