Recent Contributions to Economic History: The United States, The Twentieth Century

Thomas C. Cochran

The Journal of Economic History, 1959, vol. 19, issue 1, 64-75

Abstract: Once upon his discussiona time, oraroundso it seems, outstandingthe historiographerworks by leading could professors. Perhaps in some fields of scholarship the time still lingers, but not in recent American economic history. A quick glance at studies applying to the twentieth century that have appeared since World War II shows a large array of books that vary in merit but include few outstanding works. Furthermore, the majority of both the more or less important books have been written by people who, to the best of my knowledge, would not call themselves economic historians.
