Abstract

This essay introduces the symposium and records some reflections from symposium participants on the role of businesses in the formation of economic ideas. What are some specific challenges in researching the contributions of businesspersons to economics? Which topics or events involving the role of businesspersons in economics are most in need of scholarly analysis? What are some of the key historical trends that can be discerned in how businesspersons have contributed to the development of economic thought? Have the historical trends in how businesspersons contributed to the development of economics changed over time or remained constant, or some combination of both?
