74 - Eric Hilt on Debates in Economic History and the Cliometric Revolution

Eric Hilt is a professor of economics and economic historian at Wellesley College. Today, he joins the show to discuss his new journal article *Economic History, Historical Analysis, and the "New History of Capitalism,"* which examines the growing debate between economic historians and historians of capitalism over issues such as slavery and economic growth. Eric also shares his thoughts on the "Cliometric Revolution," which transformed the way many economic historians conduct their analysis.
