A new contribution by our postdoc Edoardo Peruzzi has just appeared in the Elgar Encyclopedia of Competition Law: a short entry on "Competition"! In the entry, he discusses the role of competition in contemporary policy and how its meaning has evolved in the history of economics.

Earlier this year, I took part in a workshop on methods and approaches in the history of economic thought (HET). Drawing on my habilitation work, I wrote this article. It makes the case for a social history of economic thought. 👇 www.tandfonline.com/eprint/UBG9X...

I just found this list of affirmations I wrote while trying to finish my book manuscript. I thought I’d post it for anyone working on any writing that they feel nervous about putting into the world. You can (and should) do it! #amwriting
A looseleaf sheet of paper with the following writing: 
“Reminders. 
1. You could spend forever working on this book and it would still not be perfect. 
2. You will not please everyone and those people who aren’t pleased will probably never be pleased no matter what you do with this manuscript. 
3. There are people who will read this work with interest. Write for those people.
4. You invested a lot of time in this work and it deserves to be read; the story deserves to be told.
5. You can finish a first draft of this manuscript.
6. The reviewers will ask for changes so you will have to revisit it anyway. So it is okay if it is not written as tightly as you would like.”
