IT’S THE ECONOMY, STUPID
The Sixth Annual Michael P. Malone Memorial Conference
Program Committee
Billy G. Smith and Josiah Ober
During the past year, the economic crisis in the United States and the rest of the world has dominated the news and created hardship for millions of people. One of the intellectual tragedies of the biggest economic calamity since the Great Depression was the inability of most economists to predict the simultaneous bursting of several economic bubbles, even though there is a historical record of such regular events stretching back to the seventeenth century and perhaps earlier. What better time to stage a conference about economic history in the hopes that scholars might learn valuable lessons from the past that can be applied to the present and future?
Accordingly, MSU’s department is organizing a conference entitled “It’s the Economy, Stupid.” We have invited Stanford University to co-sponsor the conference. In early October 2009, historians, philosophers, archaeologists, and economists will gather at the 320 Guest Ranch to participate in lively discussions and debates regarding economic history and theory extending across broad chronological and geographic ranges. By shedding light on the state of economic history, we hope to enrich our analytical capabilities and to prepare better to meet the challenges of the future.
