The department, bolstered by an influx of innovative young scholars, was one of the most distinguished research economics departments in North America by the late 1950s. In another decade it would become the most highly regarded economics department in the world. This volume documents the history of this process and the ways in which MIT's rise to prominence coincided with the remarkable transformation of American economics in the postwar period. Many developments influenced this history: the Keynesian revolution, the emergent technical nature of economics, the Cold War, the international hold of American economics, the GI Bill, and MIT's openness to Jewish economists."--Publisher's web site. 610 20 Massachusetts Institute of Technology.|bDepartment of Economics|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n87124229 |xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh99005024 610 27 Massachusetts Institute of Technology.|bDepartment of Economics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1833421 650 0 Economists|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh96001969|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Economics|zUnited States|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2008102644 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Economists.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/902277 650 7 Economics.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/902116 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 Weintraub, E.
