| Abstract: | This paper is about the Department of Economics at the University of Chicago, between 1947 and 1982. The paper has the form of a conversation between the two authors and covers issues such as the existence of a "Chicago School," the Department's governance, the personalities of some well-known members such as Frank Knight, Milton Friedman, and Robert Mundell, teaching, and the "Chicago boys." It also deals with the relation between members of the Department and those of other leading Schools. |

| Abstract: | Antonio de Miguel appears in the foot notes of the Spanish economic history books as the author of one of the national income estimations prior to those made from 1944 by the Consejo de Economía Nacional. However, his work as a statistician and economist went much further. In particular, his work as an informal economic journalist during Franco’s dictatorship is of special interest. This study focuses on it, although it also considers the rest of his economic work. |

| Abstract: | Health economics is a sub-discipline of economic science concerned with the economic treatment of health. From a socio-economic point of view, health is not an isolated field. It comes from medicine, but it is also related to socio-economic and political factors. Being considered as a superior good and which has particular characteristics, it conditions the ability of individuals to produce and consume. In this paper, we will highlight the interdependencies between the economy and health, then we will analyze the main theories in health economics and finally we will show how the Economy will shape health in its image. The results of our literature review show that the main issues addressed by the health economy revolve around the economic analysis of the interrelationships between economic and social development on the one hand, and population health on the other. Our theoretical analysis shows that the main theoretical approaches in health economics (the neoclassical model, agency theory, conventional theory) are based on two hypotheses: the hypothesis of the individual rationality of actors and the hypothesis of the mode of coordination of their decisions. According to the neoclassical theory, the decisions of individuals, considered as rational, are controlled by market exchange, while the agency theory allows for the presentation of elements that help in economic policy-making. The development of medical sciences and the respect of professional ethics are thus the main contributions of the theory of conventions. These different theoretical approaches complement each other in explaining the functioning of the health care system. However, the theoretical advances made in the field of health economics are still insufficient in terms of the production of new knowledge by research, which mainly concerns the regulation and organization of the health care system. |
| Abstract: | L'économie de santé est une sous discipline de la science économique s'intéressant à traiter économiquement la santé. D'un point de vue socio-économique, la santé n'est pas un domaine isolé. Elle est issue de la médecine, mais elle est également liée à des facteurs socio-économiques et politiques. Étant considéré la santé comme un bien supérieur et qui a des caractéristiques particulières, elle conditionne la capacité des individus à produire et à consommer. Dans ce papier, nous allons mettre en évidence les interdépendances entre l'économie et la santé, ensuite, nous allons analyser les principales théories en économie de santé et enfin nous allons montrer commet l'Economique va façonner la santé à son image. Les résultats de notre revue de littérature montrent que les principales problématiques traitées par l'économie de santé s'articulent autour l'analyse économique des interrelations entre le développement économique et social, d'une part, et santé de la population d'autre part. Notre analyse théorique démontre que les principales approches théoriques en économie de santé (le modèle néoclassique, théorie de l'agence, théorie conventionnaliste) reposent sur deux hypothèses : l'hypothèse de rationalité individuelle des acteurs et l'hypothèse du mode de coordination de leurs décisions. Selon la théorie néoclassique, les décisions des individus, considérés comme rationnels, sont contrôlées par l'échange marchand, tandis que la théorie de l'agence permet de présenter des éléments aidant à la prise de décision en politique économique. Le développement des sciences médicales et le respect de l'éthique professionnelle constituent ainsi les principaux apports de la théorie des conventions. Ces différentes approches théoriques se complètent pour expliquer le fonctionnement du système de santé. Cependant, les avancées théoriques réalisées dans le domaine de l'économie de santé connaissent encore des insuffisances en termes de production de nouvelles connaissances par la recherche et qui portent principalement sur la régulation et l'organisation du système de soins. |

| Abstract: | Economic science is an ideology that consecrates the omnipotence of the market economy, the police state and the management, often short-term, of an economy condemned to perpetual economic growth. With the Covid-19 pandemic, the analyses of liberal economists are losing their bearings, because the basic assumptions no longer have any concrete application in the face of a profound economic and social crisis. The economy now reveals its eminently political character. The international, national and local public sectors are organizing the fight against the crisis of the market economy. The State then becomes the central actor in the management of the national economy, in connection with the other States. The profoundly political and social character of a globalized economy highlights the violence of relations between states and citizens and often between states themselves. This situation of collective dependence is likely to create many tensions, which may lead to new conflicts or wars between states. |
| Abstract: | La science économique est une idéologie qui consacre l'omnipotence de l'économie de marché, l'Etat gendarme et le management, souvent de court terme, d'une économie condamnée à la croissance économique perpétuelle. Avec la pandémie de Covid-19, les analyses des économistes libéraux perdent leurs repères, car les hypothèses de base n'ont plus d'application concrète pour faire face à une profonde crise économique et sociale. L'économie révèle désormais son caractère éminemment politique. Les secteurs publics internationaux, nationaux et locaux organisent la lutte contre la crise de l'économie de marché. L'État devient alors l'acteur central de la gestion de l'économie nationale, en lien avec les autres Etats. Le caractère profondément politique et social d'une économie mondialisée met en évidence la violence des relations entre les gouvernements et les citoyens et souvent entre les Etats eux-mêmes. Cette situation de dépendance collective est susceptible de créer de nombreuses tensions, lesquelles peuvent conduire à de nouveaux conflits ou guerres. |

| Abstract: | In this chapter, we define what historical political economy (HPE) is and is not, classify the major themes in the literature, assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of the literature, and point to future directions. We view HPE as social scientific inquiry which highlights political causes or consequences of historical issues. HPE is different from conventional political economy in the emphasis placed on historical processes and context. While we view HPE in the most inclusive manner reasonable, we define it to exclude works that are either solely of contemporary importance or use historical data without any historical context (e.g., long-run macroeconomic time series data). The future of HPE is bright, especially as more historical data from around the world become available via digitization. Consequently, the future frontier of the field likely falls outside of the US, which is the concern of a disproportionate amount of the current literature. |
