“I GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS … ”: AN EDITOR’S RETROSPECTIVE

Abstract

In this article, Steven Medema provides some reflections on his tenure as editor of the Journal of the History of Economic Thought (1999 – 2008). This was a time of significant transition in the life of the journal, and the successful navigation of this period provides an excellent illustration of how much an editor and a journal rely on the assistance and support of both key individuals and the broader community of scholars in the field.
