Tema: Chicagoskolen og monetarismen

I dag er vi kommet til en af de vigtigste intellektuelle skoler både inden og uden for økonomi i det 20. århundrede: Chicago-skolen. På dansk tit kaldet monetaristerne. Jeg skriver skoler i flertal, fordi mange lider af den misforståelse, at der er tale om en fælles skole, der deler metode, interesse og mål. Det er ikke rigtigt, der er minimum tre, nok fire, og muligvis flere Chicago-skoler alt efter, hvor fint man deler kagen. Der er markante forskelle i særligt deres fokus og metode valg, og det er noget af det, som vi skal tale om i dag. Store tænkere som Friedman, Becker og Knight vil blive omtalt, og det er intellektuelt imponerende stof, da det økonomiske fakultet på University of Chicago kan bryste sig med 13 nobelpriser!

Har du nogensinde tænkt over, hvad økonomi er for en videnskab? Hvordan opstod den, og hvem var dens grundlæggere?

Eller har du interesseret dig for moderne diskussioner om samfundet, herunder ulighed, ressourceforbrug eller konkurrence? Hvis dette er tilfældet, er økonomiens teorihistorie vigtig og nyttig for dig. Den type af diskussioner er nemlig mindst lige så gammel som den økonomiske videnskab selv, og du vil i dens rødder også finde rødderne til de moderne argumenter.

Til dagens afsnit har jeg læst:

Becker, G. S. (1993). The Economic Way of Looking at Behavior. Journal of Political Economy, s. 385-409.

Coase, R. (oktober 1960). The Problem of Social Cost. Journal of Law and Economics, s. 1-44.

Friedman, M. (1953). Essays in Positive Economics. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.

Friedman, M. (1962). Capitalism and Freedom. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.

Friedman, M. (1970). The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profit. The New York Times Magazine.

Friedman, M., & Friedman, R. (1980). Free to Choose: A Personal Statement. San Diego: Harcourt.

Hayek, F. A. (1948). Individualism and Economic Order. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.

Knight, H. F. (1921). Risk, Uncertainty and Profit. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company.

Knight, F. H. (1982). Freedom and Reform. Indianapolis: Liberty Fund Inc.

Levitt, S. D., & Dubner, S. J. (2005). Freakonomics: A Rogue Economist Explores the Hidden Side of Everything. New York: William Morrow.

Stigler, G. J. (1971). The Theory of Economic Regulation. The Bell Journal of Economics and Management Science, s. 3-21.

Viner, J. (2017). Lectures in Economics 301. Abingdon-on-Thames: Taylor and Francis.

Jeg skal beklage en fortalelse i dagens afsnit, hvor jeg på et tidspunkt omtaler Jacob Viner som Henry.

I like to dedicate this season to my teachers Ole Bruus and Bruce Caldwell. All mistakes and mispronunciations are mine alone and no fault of theirs.
