Economists at War

Aiming to understand the interrelationships between World War II and economics, contributors to this special issue examine the transformative effect of the war on the content and status of economics as well as the role played by economics and economists in the conduct of the war. Much remains to be explored and debated, the authors argue, about how the war and post-war order transformed economics, reshaped economic ideas and techniques, and changed individuals and institutions who spoke with authority within the discipline.
