Francois Huet (1814-1869), Professor of Philosophy at the University of Ghent, is known for his attempt to reconcile Christianity with socialism in Le Regne Social du Christianisme (1853). The book clearly belongs to a distinctively Belgian tradition of 'liberal socialism'. Drawing upon archival material, we try to clarify the origins of Huet's theory of property rights. We focus on two intimately related questions: (1) Have the core ideas formulated by Huet in Le Regne been expressed and discussed before the publication of the book? (2) In what sense have reflections upon the science of economics contributed to Huet's views?
弗朗索瓦·休埃(1814-1869)是根特大学的哲学教授，他在1853年出版的《Le Regne Social du Christianisme》一书中试图调和基督教与社会主义。这本书显然属于比利时独特的“自由社会主义”传统。借助档案资料，我们试图厘清于埃产权理论的起源。我们关注两个密切相关的问题:(1)于埃在《勒雷尼》一书中阐述的核心思想在该书出版之前是否得到了表达和讨论?(2)对经济学的反思在什么意义上促成了于埃的观点?

This paper studies the controversy around the readmission of the Jews to England in 1655-6. Only the economic argumens are considered. They are constrasted with the mercantilist model of Breams (1986). It is shown that some of the arguments in favour and against the readmission are according to the mercantilist doctrines, and others are not. More importantly, the study of the controversy highlights new topics that extend the mercantilist model.

Adam Smith justified the contemporary usury laws and was severely criticised by Bentham and most modern writers with the important exception of J.M. Keynes. We argue that pace Bentham, Smith did not intend to preclude loan financing of all 'risky' ventures and give a 'monopoly' to safe investments and did not neglect the potential emergence of black credit markets. Yet Smith ought to have modified his position independently of Bentham's criticism, considering a marked rise in the rate at which governments borrowed in the late 1770s.

The notion of a 'Historical School' is burdened with numerous vague associations and overlapping uses leaving it wanting as a useful rubric of more specific research. To overcome this state of affairs, the article seeks to define and characterize the specific attributes of a historical political economy which arose in Europe between roughly 1870 and 1900. Authors from four countries are considered: Germany, Britain, France and Italy. We focus specifically on the relaionship and tension between empirical history and economic theory, thereby illustrating the resulting approach to policy. We contend that our characterization provides a useful illustration of the achievements and shortcomings of historical empiricism, inductivism, and pragmatism in economics.

This paper continues the investigation of the antecedents of the Wheel of Wealth, initiated by Don Patinkin as a by-product of his 1973 memoir of Frank Knight. A series of partly chance leads pointed to Bastiat as the earliest author to have employed circle or wheel diagram in an associated context, and one with whose writings most later users of it were acquainted. Although Patinkin mistakenly concluded that late-nineteenth century Contitental European literature completely eschewed diagrams, he was right in hypothesizing the wheel diagram to have originated outside the main stream of economic thought.

This paper searches for the story Thomas Sargent is likely to have told when he was trying to use rational expectations economics in the late-1960s and early 1970s. An argument will be made for his interest in achieving what he would regard as conceptual integrity of the determinism in neoclassical economic theory and the randomness in econometrics. This involves providing a narrative of how he came to the idea of rational expectations and what he had to relinquish to be able to put his initial interpretation of the concept to use.

To advance our general understanding about the development of nine-teenth-century Irish political economy in the wake of the Great Irish Famine (1846-51), this article analyses the Famine's impact on a previously unstudied, yet uniquely authoritative, element of the displine: the questions given to candidates for the Whately Professorship of Political Economy at Trinity College, Dublin from 1832 to 1882. This article concludes, contrary to previous arguments, that the Famine did not fundamentaly influence the discipline's development, and relates this conclusion to debates over whether and how political economy functioned as an ideology in shaping policy responses to the Famine.

This paper attempts to reconstruct and assess the intellectual itinerary of Hicks on the valuation of social income. His 1958 and 1981 papers on that topic have been wholly ignored in the economic literature. In both of them differentmeasures of real income are provided. These show to what extenteach one of them can be relied upon. Our assessment argues that it is impossible to measure social income independentlyof the reasons for which that measure is required and that any valuation cannot ultimatelybe made independently of political and ethical considerations.
