Excerpt from Studies in History Economics and Public Law, 1910, Vol. 38 The importance of population movements in the United States and the occupation of the Public Domain rests in the fact that they have created a condition of successive change; of social unstability; of social, economic and poli tical restlessness; and have carried with them peculiarly vital developments in various phases of American life. No population removal of history, perhaps, has been accom panied by any more marked social phenomena than that be ginning in America at the close of the Revolutionary War and continuing to the present. No movement within the range of modern times has been fraught with greater im port than has this one which transplanted a portion of the roots of a vigorous people on a restricted sea-board to the wilds of a frontier which shortly teemed with life and civilization.

Excerpt from The History of Economics Highly as we may esteem the great Economists of this and other countries, it is essential to remember the character Of the great Economical contests up to the present time. They have been almost entirely destructive. The first Economists found the public mind and the administration infected with an immense mass of rooted prejudices, errors, and abuses. Their first efforts were, therefore, naturally directed to sweep these away; to beat down and abolish false doctrines of all sorts; to extirpate bad and mischievous laws interfering with the natural order of things; to abolish legislative interference with wages, with prices, with the interest of money, and with the commercial intercourse of nations; to establish, in fact, freedom of contract and exchange. And in this Economists Of'all nations are agreed. The repeal of the Corn and Navigation Laws in England may be regarded as the consummation of the destructive era of Economical Science in' this country. We have now arrived at a new and distinct phase of the Science; that, in fact, at which the period Of destruction has ended, and that of construction has come.

Excerpt from The Economic Utilization of History: And Other Economic Studies The contents of this little volume consist in the main of studies which have already appeared in print. All of them have, how ever, been revised, and the greater part of the first two chapters is new. Though the studies have been written for special occa sions during the past four years, they all represent one point of view, and the last nine chapters may be considered an appli cation in the several fields of labor legisla tion, business organization, and charity, of the scientific methods advocated in Chap ters I, II, and III. In order to bring out better this continuity of thought most of the essays have been subdivided, and new titles assigned to them.

This book examines the origins of the IS-LM model, one of the most significant innovations in the history of economic thought. It shows that the complete IS-LM model, including the equations and diagram, was produced by a group of economists who contributed their respective mathematical models of Keynes’s General Theory, including Champernowne, Reddaway, Harrod, and Meade, not to mention Hicks. Furthermore, the book discusses the implications of newly discovered archival material, including a previously overlooked document showing that John Maynard Keynes himself was the first to present the IS-LM model equations in a lecture he gave on December 4, 1933. It focuses on the implications of this material in terms of understanding the evolution of Keynes’s approach from 1933 to 1937, later interpreters of his General Theory, and the ongoing debate between Keynesians and Post-Keynesians on the nature of his system. Given the revelations it presents, this book will transform the profession’s understanding of the origins of the IS-LM model and modern macroeconomics.
