Henry Manne’s Struggle To Institutionalize Law & Economics

In new research, David Gindis and Steven G. Medema trace Henry Manne’s entrepreneurial role in the development of the field of law and economics, beginning with a failed venture to bring together economists and legal scholars, but one that established the foundations for later success.

In this cool new JEM paper, Yam Mayaan rigorously documents something that several of us have been teaching for years, aka that Arrow's general equilibrium theory is meant as a normative ideal - a research tool to investigate how markets do not self-regulate:

"The Dramatic Rise of the New Society Journals in Economics" is not yet another journal ranking paper but a paper about >how< the new society journals succeeded.

Appendix C "Narrative Evidence" is a true gem. Highly recommended.

Before encountering success with the Economics Institutes for Law Professors at Rochester and the LEC at Miami, Manne left some failed start-up ventures on his entrepreneurial trail. @spydermed.bsky.social and I discuss one of these in a recently published paper: doi.org/10.1215/0018...

On my pile. Zappia has written beautiful research on theoretical models of uncertainty in the 1940s to 1970s that I teach from (Savage, Ellsberg, Allais, De Finetti, Shackle : see here scholar.google.com/citations?us...)
