Note: The links on the names themselves are to the History of Economic Thought Web site of New School University. “Hay” and “Akama” refer to the databases of Rod Hay and Michio Akama. They, as well as the New School's site, are treasure troves for students of the History of Economic Thought. These sites contain biographical sketches, photographs and other material on most, if not all, of the people we will be discussing in this course. In some cases, links to online editions of their writings are also given.
