Political economy and public policy: introduction to the symposium

Simon Hupfel

The European Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 2025, vol. 32, issue 4, 522-529

Abstract: This introduction provides historical perspectives to explain why references to research programmes on the ‘History of Thought and Policy’ advanced by leadingfigures of the discipline, such as Grampp, Coats, Winch or Perrot (1960s-1990s), have vanished from recent literature. We argue that the reading of their work, combined to more recent approaches, could furnish general guidelines, applied in the articles of the symposium. Focused on commercial debates from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries, each contribution analyses a concrete trade policy and concentrates on the translation of economic ideas as they travel across the policy-making process.
