The HES at 50: Identity Crisis and the Need for Pluralistic Historiographical Approaches

Abstract

In the 1990s, history of economics was comprised of a number of national communities. Among the latter the North American community held a dominant position and was quite different from its continental European counterparts. The HES had no counterpart in continental Europe, where national societies were small and recent. While the History of economics society was open to methodological pluralism, European societies were not. Over the past two decades, the growing domination of the continental European community has created a new context in which the identity of the North American community in general and that of the HES in particular has become uncertain. The consequence had been that methodological diversity within the subdiscipline has diminished. We conclude by two suggestions to counter this trend.
