This collection represents a modest attempt to chart a new course
for the intellectual discipline known as economic history. (The
book is not about productivity growth in the 1990s, lest the title
give rise to any confusion.) As a group, these essays suggest new
and potentially fruitful areas or approaches for research and at
the same time address weaknesses in past efforts. One important
audience will be graduate students attempting to decide whether to
write a dissertation in economic history, or trying to select or
refine dissertation topics in the area, and determine how to
approach them. Some of the essays will most certainly be
appropriate additions to the or semester courses in economic
history that remain a fixture in quarter graduate economics
training programs. A second audience should be established scholars
who are now or have in the past done research in economic history
and are interested in the perspectives of a relatively younger
group of scholars. The term "younger" is used here advisedly to
describe a group of scholars born between 1943 and 1954.
Nevertheless, the authors of these essays can on at least one
dimension be distinguished from the pathbreaking new economic his
torians who established their academic reputations in the early
1960s. Indeed, the contributors to this volume include students of
such pioneers as Richard Easterlin, Albert Fishlow, William Parker,
and Jeffrey Williamson."
