Volume Introduction
We are happy to present Volume 38A of Research in the History of Economic Thought and Methodology, the first of three volumes that we plan to publish in 2020. The volume features a symposium on public finance in the history of economic thought co-edited by guest editors Claire Silvant and Javier San Julián Arrupe. The symposium comprises the results of a research project on “The Trade-off between Taxation, Debt and Money Creation in the History of Public Finance Crises, 1848–1914” that was supported by a grant from the European Society for the History of Economic Thought between 2014 and 2017. In addition to essays by the co-editors, the symposium includes contributions from Richard Sturn, Christina Laskaridis, Nesrine Bentemessek Kahia, Clément Coste, and Samuel Demeulemeester.
The volume also features original general-research contributions from Cosma Orsi and John Henry.
Lastly, the volume includes a touching obituary by Matheus Assaf honoring his friend, Gabriel Oliva, winner of our first Warren Samuels Prize for Interdisciplinary Research in the History of Economic Thought and Methodology in 2016, who tragically and unexpectedly passed away this April.
