Re: Institutionalist Economics

["Bill James" <kataradicalis@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your suggestions. I have read Hodgson's How Economics Forgot
History. The book does address institutionalist economics, but focuses in
only in terms of its methodological beliefs, specifically with the issue of
historical specificity. It's not a general history of the contributions of
institutionalist economics and its doctrines.

Mitchell's Types of Economic Theory sounds good. Can anyone give more
detail about it? How deeply does it cover Institutionalism?

>From reading descriptions of it, Rutherford's Old and New Institutionalism
seems to be more of an analysis as to their similarities rather than an
overview of either.

Gurchy's Contemporary Economic Thought is subtitled The Contribution of
Neo-Institutional Economics. It seems like it would be more about NIE(and I
have no trouble finding books about NIE).

Can someone give more detail about The Reconstruction of Economics? Is it a
history of OIE or an exposition of key doctrines or exposition of his own
approach to IE?

Thank you.
