I am a global economic historian and historian of economic ideas.\u00a0 Spring 2013 is\u00a0Spanish immersion, reading late 18th century Spanish enlightenment works by Conde Pedro de Campomanes, Melchor de Jovellanos–and also reading modern Spanish commentary by Luis Perdices and Vicent Llombart.\u00a0\u00a0A decade ago,\u00a0I built a database of the Spanish economy in \"DugganPhoto\"<\/a>California in Mexican archives, and I’m putting together the\u00a0two projects in a book Behind the\u00a0Veil of 1848: Piety and\u00a0Profits in\u00a0Alta California’s Economy.\u00a0 In the 2000s I got sidetracked by the global financial crisis.\u00a0 I\u00a0became interested in Keynes’ writings of the 1920s\u00a0because he\u00a0wrote with\u00a0great insight\u00a0about the links between production and finance, and because the\u00a0unstable financial flows of the 1920s seem rather like those of the Noughties (2000-2010).\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve also spent many a fine hour reading Odd Langholm, who wrote about the Scholastic ideas of the middle ages.\u00a0 There are some similarities between Keynes and the Scholastics, as both urged curbs on the profit motive in order to protect the community.\u00a0 In 2012, I began a long-term project with students on deindustrialization and reindustrialization in Keene, a center of the precision manufacturing sector, which is taking me into the uncharted territory of heterodox theories of the firm.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0But this is on the back burner for the next 18 months while I write that book.\u00a0 Back in the 1990s, I trained at the New School, where I read Marx to my heart’s content and also discovered Smith, Ricardo, and the economic anthropologist\u00a0Marcel Mauss.\u00a0 My teachers (Robert Heilbroner, Lance Taylor, Anwar Shaikh, Janet Abu-Lughod, Bill Roseberry) were wonderful–but now it is conversations with my students that liven up my day.\u00a0\u00a0That’s really why I’m such a stickler about doing the reading–I can’t wait to talk about it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
