This book presents memoirs of intellectual lives. In conversation with cliometricians of the next generation, twenty-five pioneering scholars reflect on changes in the practice of economic history they have observed and have helped to bring about.
"This book contains interviews with 25 academics who 'participated directly or indirectly' in the development of what was known as the 'new economic history' or the 'cliometrics revolution' of the late 1960s and 1970s... In the introduction the editors do a fine job of placing the methodological innovations in relation to various personalities and their works, career developments and institutions... this is a thought provoking book about the history of our discipline that is also an engaging read."
