Chicago. Course Bibliography (books). Economics and Social Institutions. Knight, 1949

 

 

Together Frank Hyneman Knight (Morton D. Hull Distinguished Service Professor of the Social Sciences) and Charner Marquis Perry (Associate Professor of Philosophy) taught a course at mid-century on institutional economics with the title “Economics and Social Institutions”. The course was a joint graduate offering of the departments of economics and philosophy at the University of Chicago. This post provides a transcription of a bibliography of books for the course that was found filed among Milton Friedman’s papers at the Hoover Institution Archives. One presumes from the title “Bibliography A: Books” that there must have been a “Bibliography B: articles and chapters”, but to find a copy of that B-Bibliography, we will need to go elsewhere and have a bit of luck.
