Note to self... go reread The Last Temptation of Risk by Barry Eichengreen. His question “Where were the intellectual agenda-setters when this [economic] crisis was building?” Inspires David Brooks to call for a comprehensive history of modern economics.
Justin Fox over at the Harvard Business Review, who had just spent some time with historians at a recent conference, pondered the intellectual history that has created more intellectual prominence and influence for economists over that of historians.
Ezra Klien chimes in. As does Future 2.0.
This is worth a deeper look.
