Including a Symposium on Ludwig Lachmann cover

Volume 37B of Research in the History of Economic Thought and Methodology features a symposium on the work of Ludwig Lachmann, edited by Giampaolo Garzarelli. Contributors to the symposium include Peter Boettke, Erwin Dekker, Peter Lewin, and several other experts on Lachmann and the Austrian School. The volume also includes an essay on Jean de Largentaye's French translation of Keynes's General Theory, written by the translator's daughter, Hélène de Largentaye. Last and certainly not least, the volume features a collection of reviews and commentaries on historian Nancy MacLean's controversial book about James Buchanan, Democracy in Chains.

Consisting of 14 contributions, this volume presents a symposium on the work of Ludwig Lachmann and the Austrian School of economics, "The Legacy of Ludwig Lachmann: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Institutions, Agency and Uncertainty," held in Johannesburg, South Africa, in April 2017, and a collection of reviews and commentaries on Nancy MacLean's Democracy in Chains. Researchers from the US, Europe, Ecuador, and South Africa discuss the capital theoretic side of the socialist calculation debate; the joint production of interpretation instruments and the relationship between institutional orders and capital structures; Lachmann's subjectivist approach to economics and its consequences and his intellectual relationship with Joseph Schumpeter; the relationship of Lachmann's views to the Austrian School of economics before, during, and after his time; his views on John Maynard Keynes and probability theory; and his public and private persona. The second section addresses the French edition of the General Theory by Keynes, followed by reviews and commentaries of MacLean's book. -- Annotation ©2019 * (protoview.com) *
