The New Institutionalist Economic History: A Marxist Critique
Matthijs Krul, Friday 11.15am
In mainstream contemporary economic history, two methodological approaches are currently
predominant: Cliometrics and the New Institutionalist Economic History (NIEH). While the
former limits itself to positivist quantification, the latter provides an increasingly influential
theoretical framework for interpreting economic change. The NIEH, as developed in the work
of Douglass North, Barry Weingast, Avner Greif and others, returns to answering the
questions posed first by such thinkers as Karl Marx and Karl Polanyi in understanding the
relationship between structural changes in the economy and the social relations of which the
economy forms a part. Its attempt to revive a research programme around the ' embeddedness'
of the economic in social institutions constitutes a considerable step forward in moving
mainstream research toward historical questions interesting to Marxists. But there has been
little Marxist engagement with the NIEH.
This paper attempts to provide such a critical engagement. In this paper, I will argue that
despite the innovative manner in which North and others have gone beyond neoclassical
economics, this theoretical heritage nonetheless limits its usefulness as systematic social and
historical theory. The NIEH still uncritically adopts a framework in which market phenomena
and market metaphor form the backbone of the conceptual apparatus. Because of this, I will
argue the NIEH's philosophy of society reintroduces a Smithian 'invisible hand', but at the
level of social institutions, allowing the NIEH to fulfil the same political and
historiographical purpose as the Whiggish history of old did. Using a Marxist critique of
markets and market metaphor, I will evaluate the NIEH's historical problematic and suggest
ways in which the NIEH approach can and should be integrated into a Marxist theoretical
register.

you don't give speeches at these types of things, you read an abstract and then make scattered remarks and field questions

people who are training to be professors (professional otaku) sometimes have to give conference papers (fansubs) in order to build credibility within their field of study (ranma 1/2)

some guy says "hey not to be antisemitic or anything but israelis seem pretty racist" which would not raise a hackle in any leftist group i have ever heard of, some israeli whines about it with the implication that it's shocking and idiotic to the degree of reddit's pederasty and perpetual hatred of women and black people, i dispute this and am banned. cool stuff

i sense a real opportunity for an enterprising young black man to form a progressive, forward-looking hate group to help mend the rift between blacks and white nationalism against a common enemy
