The Great Recession & the Great Depression
No full textIn the depths of the Great Depression,
John Maynard Keynes wrote that “[p]racticalmen,
who believe themselves to be
quite exempt from any intellectual influence,
are usually the slaves of some defunct
economist.”1 This acute observation
is applicable to our current Great
Recession as well. In fact, the newly discredited
ideas are not all that different
from the old, suggesting that Keynes may
have overestimated people’s ability to
learn from their mistakes

From Great Depression to Great Recession
No full textHeld in conjunction with ST 600, Market Failure, Famines and Crisis, Dr. Peter Temin is the first lecturer in the Committee on Social Theory Spring Lecture Series. His lecture is entitled Lessons of the Great Depression. He provides an integrated view of the Depression, covering the experience in Britain, France, Germany, and the US; he discusses the causes, why it was so widespread and prolonged; and what brought about the world\u27s eventual recovery.

Dr. Temin is a professor in the Department of Economics and History at MIT. His most recent publications include The Roman Market Economy, Princeton University Press, 2013 and The Leaderless Economy: Why the World Economic System Fell Apart and How to Fix It, Princeton University Press, 2013 (with David Vines)
Institutions and Economic Performance
No full textThis is an intelligent and important book. Economists have discovered
that institutions (a.k.a. histories) are important determinants of economic
growth. The chapters in this volume provide a clear view of the
current research about this interconnection. That the authors are mainly
economists, joined by a few political scientists, means that the essays will
often be tough sledding for most interdisciplinary historians. The first
half of the book, entitled “History,” is the most accessible, and interdisciplinary
historians should read it
Slave Systems, Ancient and Modern
No full textThe editors' summary of the issues and chapters in this book adopts an interdisciplinary approach and discusses a wide variety of authors, but it omits one important discipline, economics. A few of the chapters, particularly those by Stanley Engerman and Walter Scheidel, compensate for this omission to some extent, but the book as a whole reveals a common limitation of interdisciplinary history
