回顾了MIT在二战前经济学与历史学的统一及战后分化,经济史在1970年代达到顶峰后逐渐衰落,至2010年左右从师资和研究生项目中消失,并指出这一衰落对当前教育和学术的代价。

Abstract

This article recalls the unity of economics and history at MIT before the Second World War and their divergence thereafter. Economic history at MIT reached its peak in the 1970s, with three teachers of the subject to graduates and undergraduates alike. It declined until economic history vanished both from the faculty and from the graduate program around 2010. The cost of this decline to current education and scholarship is suggested at the end of the narrative.
