On economic development in Latin America

Roundtable remarks at the ESHET conference in Buenos Aires, with Eduardo Crespo and Franklin Serrano (h/t Alejandro Fiorito and Revista Circus). The very last remarks are in the additional video below.

Core and Periphery Countries: Lessons From Economic History and the History of Economic Thought

A fairly interesting meeting of historians of economic thought from Europe and Latin America will be held this year in Buenos Aires. The conference is part of the European Society for the History of Economic Thought (ESHET) activities taking place outside Europe and is the second in Latin America.  More info here. Program and papers (or at least most of them) here (h/t Alejandro Fiorito and Revista Circus).

Where is Waldo?

Several people asked me where the New School History of Economic Thought Website, developed by Gonçalo Fonseca with the help of Leanne Ussher, is now. As it turns it is still around here (h/t Humberto Barreto, from the also essential History of Economics Society). Enjoy!

PS: I should say it's a great resource, not just for teachers/students, and it should be preserved. The New School Economics Department, HES or the European Society for the History of Economic Thought (ESHET) should try to get Gonçalo on board and help him keep it alive.
