About the Editors

Luca Fiorito received his PhD in Economics from the New School for Social Research in New York and is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Palermo. His main area of interest is the history of American economic thought in the Progressive Era and the interwar years. He has published many works on the contributions of the institutionalists and on the relationship between economics and eugenics.

Scott Scheall is a Lecturer with Arizona State University’s College of Integrative Sciences and Arts. He received his PhD in Philosophy from Arizona State in 2012. Scott is a former Research Fellow with Duke University’s Center for the History of Political Economy and a former Postdoctoral Fellow with the F.A. Hayek Program for Advanced Study in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at George Mason University. He has published extensively on the history and methodology of the Austrian School of economics.

Carlos Eduardo Suprinyak is Associate Professor of Economics at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Brazil. He specializes in the history of economic thought and economic methodology, studying in particular the interplay between social, political, and economic ideas in early modern England, and the institutionalization of academic economics in Brazil during the postwar era. He has published several papers on these and other related themes in peer-reviewed scholarly journals, and is also the Co-editor of The Political Economy of Latin American Independence (Routledge, 2017).

List of Contributors

Volume Introduction

In our second 2018 volume of Research in the History of Economic Thought and Methodology, we feature a symposium on Mary Morgan’s career as historian and philosopher of economics. Guest edited by Marcel Boumans and Hsiang-Ke Chao, the symposium includes contributions from several well-known scholars who have been uniquely influenced by Professor Morgan’s work, either as former students, colleagues, or as mentees. In addition to contributions from the guest editors, the array of participants features several renowned historians of economic thought, including Harro Maas, Tiago Mata, Andrej Svorenčík, and Gerardo Serra, among others. Professor Morgan offers a reflection essay.

The volume also includes an essay by Charles McCann, Jr. and Vibha Kapuria-Foreman, another contribution to their coauthored project on Robert Franklin Hoxie. McCann and Kapuria-Foreman’s Robert Franklin Hoxie: The Contributions of a Neglected Chicago Economist appeared two years ago in RHETM Volume 34B. We are delighted to present their latest work on Hoxie’s inquiries into trade union politics and the American socialist party.
