Although generally in favour of budgetary ‘economies’, in line with prevailing nineteenth-century liberal thinking, the Progressives have not reached full internal agreement on this matter, even less so as regards the issue of protectionism versus free-trade.

This particular work has been cited as supporting the claim that there are similarities between the de Finetti-Savage’s conception of uncertainty and the Keynes-Knight’s approach.

Building on previous work (Marcuzzo 2008; 2012), we propose an empirical study with the aim of describing the dynamics of changes in HET in recent years, detecting three trends: 1) a sort of ‘stepping down from the shoulders of giants’, namely a move towards studies of ‘minor’ figures and/or economists from a more recent past; 2) the blossoming of archival research into unpublished work and correspondence; 3) less theory-laden investigations, connecting intellectual circles, linking characters and events. Using data from Econlit we show the evolution of the overall publication of het articles (1955-2013) and of HET fully or partially specialized journals (1993-2013); for the latter, by devising proxies which are amenable to quantitative assessment, we demonstrate that there is some evidence to support these claims.","PeriodicalId":38602,"journal":{"name":"History of Economic Ideas","volume":"24 1","pages":"29-46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68126561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article also attempts to show the decisive influence that Stackelberg had during his three years in Spain (1943-1946). This influence was felt in the academic sphere, with the reinforcement of neoclassical ideas and the ordoliberal line in the Faculty of Political and Economic Sciences of Madrid and in the Institute of Political Studies, as well as in the sphere of Spanish economic policy, where, years after his death, it contributed to the implementation of the Stabilisation Plan in 1959. With this Plan, the Spanish economy abandoned the autarky that had been present from the end of the Civil War, and the foundations were laid for Spain’s future integration into Europe.","PeriodicalId":38602,"journal":{"name":"History of Economic Ideas","volume":"23 1","pages":"119-144"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66623588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Martyn’s writings, by introducing what later was called «the eighteenth-century rule», prepared the path of transition from absolute advantage to comparative advantage as the basis of trade. Smith provided a description of comparative advantage outcome by observing that a poor country can rival a rich country in agricultural goods despite having an absolute disadvantage in both manufacturing and agricultural goods. The present paper focuses particularly on Smith because he has not received the attention he deserves in the literature on comparative advantage. In this intellectual odyssey, Ricardo plays the seminal role with his famous example of England exchanging cloth for Portuguese wine.","PeriodicalId":38602,"journal":{"name":"History of Economic Ideas","volume":"23 1","pages":"59-76"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66622841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
