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 and Director of Graduate Studies in the Faculty of Social Science in Arizona State University’s College of Integrative Sciences and Arts. He has published extensively on topics related to the history and philosophy of the Austrian School of economics. He is the author of F. A. Hayek and the Epistemology of Politics: The Curious Task of Economics (Routledge, 2020).

Carlos Eduardo Suprinyak is Associate Professor of Economics at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, 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 papers 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).

Volume 39B of Research in the History of Economic Thought and Methodology features a symposium marking the centenary of Carl Menger’s death in 1921. The symposium, co-edited by Reinhard Schumacher and our own Scott Scheall, features contributions addressing the significance of Menger’s work for the history of economics and for contemporary practice from Sandra J. Peart, Günther Chaloupek, Erwin Dekker, and Sandye Gloria.

Volume 39B also includes general-research contributions from Marina Uzunova, who considers the significance of Lionel Penrose’s voting power index for domains other than voting, and Alexander Linsbichler, who discusses Otto Neurath’s and Ludwig von Mises’s respective conceptions of rationality and their meaning for Neurath’s and Mises’s arguments in the socialist calculation debate.
