520    "MIT and the Transformation of American Economics seeks to
       remedy the historians' neglect of the influential and 
       luminary economics department at the Massachusetts 
       Institute of Technology. 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
