Now that my following has surged into double digits, a moment of sharing and peeps-seeking. I've put up here:

some notes and mini-working-papers from a project on body, nation, race, and economy in the 19th and 20th centuries. Most interested in hearing from others working in these areas.

After 2 weeks here I‘ll try a better introduction.
I’m working on nation, race, and body in the #HistoryofEconomicThought. Been stuck in the 19th century for a while with #Coleridge, #HerbertSpencer, and #AlfredMarshall et al. Hoping to move soon to the 20th century including the relation between #Neurasthenia and “feeble mindedness” and the rise of #eugenics. #IrvingFisher is on the horizon as is #JamesMeade. Most interested in hearing from anyone working in these areas. 1/2
