About this product

Product Information

The history of ecomic thought has traditionally focused on the work of individuals longer living. Recently, however, historians have begun to use their tools of analysis on the work of contemporary ecomists. New Ecomics and Its Writing compiles evidence of this shift, with thirteen essays by scholars interested in catalyzing conversation between contemporary ecomists and historians of ecomics.This new focus requires new methods of analysis--historiographic strategies involving far greater archival resources, for instance, and often ntraditional resources, such as electronic records. Essays collected here address these changes and examine how this new emphasis on the work of living ecomists can and will entail interaction between the producer of theory and the historian, complicating the latter's role. Chapters discuss topics such as the emergence of subdisciplines in ecomics, social-contextual perspectives on the writing of ecomics, the dynamics of idea development, and the recent incursion of necomic thinking--such as engineering methods and mathematical models--into ecomics. New Ecomics and Its Writing shows that attention to recent, ongoing ecomics from historians of ecomics has the potential to revitalize and transform the history of ecomics as an area of investigation.This volume is the 1997 Annual Supplement to the journal History of Political Ecomy.
