Luca Fiorito received his PhD in Economics from the New School for Social Research in New York and is currently 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 Assistant Professor of Social Science with Arizona State University’s College of Integrative Sciences and Arts. 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 and methodology of economics, studying the interplay of social, political, and economic ideas in early modern England, and the institutionalization of economics in Brazil during the postwar era. He has published several chapters on these and related themes in peer-reviewed scholarly journals and is also the Co-editor of The Political Economy of Latin American Independence (Routledge, 2017).

We are delighted to present the second 2019 volume of Research in the History of Economic Thought and Methodology, surely one of the most important volumes we have produced as an editorial team. Volume 37B features a symposium on the work of the influential economist Ludwig Lachmann that includes contributions from several experts on Lachmann’s work and the Austrian School of economics with which his name is often associated.

The volume also features a wonderful essay by Hélène de Largentaye on the French translation (by de Largentaye’s father) of Keynes’ General Theory.

Finally, the current volume includes our long-anticipated collection of reviews and commentaries on Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America, historian Nancy MacLean’s controversial book on 1986 Nobel Prize Winner James M. Buchanan and the Virgina School of political economy that he founded.
