Great Controversies

Roberto Marchionatti

Chapter Chapter 7 in Economic Theory in the Twentieth Century, An Intellectual History—Volume II, 2021, pp 343-414 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The chapter deals with some of the major controversies of the period between the two world wars. Firstly the controversy on Marshall and the Marshallian Orthodoxy in England and the United States in the 1920s, with the contributions of Pigou, Robertson, Shove, Sraffa, Knight, Robbins, Schumpeter and Young, is analyzed. Secondly, the socialist calculation debate through its different phases—the Austrian phase, dominated by the contribution of von Mises, its sequel in the English-speaking world, and the climax of the debate between Hayek, Lange and Lerner, are considered. Lastly, the chapter deals with the controversy between Keynes and Tinbergen on econometric method.
