      1. If you follow the various branches threads, there's a good conversation here between @D_Kuehn, @Undercoverhist @Econ_Marshall & others about ongoing debates in history of economics, history of conservatism, & history of racism.https://twitter.com/D_Kuehn/status/1130486961255399424 …

      Daniel Kuehn @D_Kuehn
      I agree and think this is important. There has to be a constructive assessment of some sort, either what @Undercoverhist describes here or something similar. /1 https://twitter.com/Undercoverhist/status/1130485441126383617 …

      2. The whole debate reinforces my sense that Nancy Maclean's Democracy In Chains & the reaction to it have been, in the classical sense, tragic: that's to say a conflict where differing sides have legitimate claims but the result is a disaster.

      3. MacLean's book was flawed in the way pioneering works often are: it asked the right questions & brought important evidence to light but also tendentiously overclaimed its arguments & got some things wrong (as @henryfarrell among other reviewers pointed out).

      4. But the reaction to MacLean also felt, to me, like it was tendentious, based often on a desire of historians of economics (and libertarian allies) to protect their turf from encroachment by outsiders (social historians, historians of conservatism).

      5. The fact is that Chicago economics & public choice economics were never purely pristine academic exercises but deeply intertwined modern American right. Figures like Friedman, Stigler & Buchanan were political actors & operators as well as scholars.

          6. Even if you disagree with MacLean's conclusions, it's important to acknowledge that her project (integrating history of economics with history of political movements, backed by archival research) needs to be done. I hope future scholars continue down this path.

          People knew about Friedman but they tend to be surprised by the others.

          As one of Mancur Olson's students I am pretty surprised to learn that public choice was deeply intertwined with modern American right. Funny, never identified either Olson or Dennis Mueller than way.

          That was /sarcasm/, in case I wasn't clear. Considering I've published using public choice, I am equally surprised to be informed that I am tool of the American right.
