Peter E. Earl, B. Markey-Towler, K. Coutts
Abstract This paper explores the origins, contributions, limitations, and impact of Duncan Ironmonger’s book New Commodities and Consumer Behaviour (published in 1972), and its similarities with, and differences from, Kelvin Lancaster’s ‘new approach’ to consumer behaviour. It does this with the aid of material from an interview given by Ironmonger to one of the authors in 2015, reviews of his book, its citation details, and a re-reading of the book in light of the interview. It argues that there are substantial differences between the analyses offered by Ironmonger and Lancaster and that, despite them both offering models of choice focused on product attributes, their methods were profoundly different. The paper concludes by considering lessons of their different publication strategies, and their different impacts, for early-career researchers.

J. Hengstmengel, Paul Oslington
Abstract This paper investigates the sources of Jacob Viner’s universal economy doctrine, which is part of his argument that theological arguments for free trade preceded and shaped the economic arguments. Viner’s key source is the influential fourth-century pagan orator Libanius, quoted by Hugo Grotius, but identification of the passage in Libanius has eluded contemporary scholars, even though Viner’s Libanius quotation and the universal economy doctrine it supports has been used in many subsequent works on the history of international trade theory. Investigating the context of the passage and Libanius’ economic views suggests that he meant something very different to the ways that Grotius and Viner and many subsequent authors used the passage. Rather than merely convicting these authors of crimes against the canons of contextual historiography, we suggest that viewing the curious tale of the quotation and its subsequent use through the lens of reception history would be more fruitful.

Matthew G. Smith
Abstract This paper provides a detailed review of Alessandro Roncaglia’s book, The Age of Fragmentation: A History of Contemporary Thought, published in 2019. It is shown by Roncaglia in this book that since early in the twentieth century economic thought has fragmented into many different research fields, and into many different theoretical approaches, and yet the mainstream of contemporary economics has become progressively dominated by the marginalist approach. The review accounts for the main themes in Roncaglia’s interpretation of the development of contemporary economic thought in its many different fields and theoretical perspectives and his evaluation of their scientific contribution. A central argument of Roncaglia is that because of the fragmented nature of economics and the cultural-political factors shaping research funding of it, the history of economic thought has never been more important for communication and mutual comprehension across the discipline to ensure its intellectual health and ethical standing.

Abstract Plant versus Coase on the firm. This paper focuses on Arnold Plant (Coase’s teacher) and his little known contribution to the theory of the firm, ‘Centralize or Decentralize?’ A very brief biography of Plant is given followed by an outline of his paper and then the paper is examined and compared to Coases’s ‘The Nature of the Firm’.

Hawkins: Can you tell us a bit about your parents, your siblings and your childhood? King: I was born in 1947 into a working-class household in south-east London; my sister Jean arrived in 1951. Dad was a clerk at the London docks and Mum, trained as a hairdresser, also did clerical work. Jean and I were beneficiaries of the post-1945 reforms, which meant that we ate and dressed well, lived in a decent house, and enjoyed all the benefits of public health, welfare and education provisions. Looking back, we were pretty lucky by comparison with both previous and subsequent generations.

G. Fishburn
Abstract Patrick Geddes (1854–1932) has been characterized as ‘a biologist, sociologist, botanist, geographer, urban planner, educator, founder of museums, schools, and institutions, leader of meetings and associations, poet, and guru’. Less often remarked on, he also had something to say on economics. It is this oft-neglected aspect of his thought with which this paper deals. Although not formally qualified in any of the fields in which he was later to play a leading role, and certainly not in economics/political economy, he contributed as much in terms of papers read and publications as anyone else in the crucial decade of professionalization prior to the formation of the British Economic Association and the appearance of its Journal; moreover, although some of his views might today be considered to have been eccentric, he nonetheless anticipated, for example, the application of the natural and physical sciences to economics.
