Contributors analyze the activities and debates promoted by these associations, evaluating their role in: the dissemination of political economy. the institutionalisation of economics. the construction of professional self-consciousness among economists. Individual chapters reconstruct the events that led to the foundation of economic societies in Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Japan and the US. - from Amzon
