More about the book

The book offers a comparative analysis of the economics profession in the U.S., Britain, and France, highlighting significant differences shaped by each country's unique political, cultural, and institutional contexts. Through interviews and extensive research, it traces the evolution of economics from the late nineteenth century to today. The author argues that varying political experiences influenced how economies were understood and debated, resulting in distinct professional identities: scientific professionalism in the U.S., public-minded elitism in Britain, and statist divisions in France.
