Where Is There Consensus Among American Economic Historians? The Results of a Survey on Forty Propositions
通过分析对178名经济史协会成员的问卷调查结果，考察美国经济史学家在四十个重要命题上是否存在共识，发现部分议题有共识，但在大萧条原因和解放后果等领域存在显著分歧。
This article examines where consensus does and does not exist among American economic historians by analyzing the results of a questionnaire mailed to 178 randomly selected members of the Economic History Association. The questions address many of the important debates in American economic history. The answers show consensus on a number of issues, but substantial disagreement in many areas—including the causes of the Great Depression and the aftermath of emancipation. They also expose some areas of disagreement between historians and economists.
