ABSTRACT OF PAPER
Title: F.A. Hayek vs. J.M. Keynes in the Shackle Archive
Author: Repapis Constantinos
The intellectual rivalry of F.A. Hayek and J.M. Keynes has caught the attention of historians of economic thought, journalists and the broad public recently. However, how was it viewed at the time? This paper uses archival material found in the G.L.S. Shackle collection of the University of Cambridge to determine contemporary reading responses to the theoretical developments of the 1930s. Shackle’s unique reading style that included clear and legible marginalia, while dating each of his readings, and the fact that a substantial part of his copies of the following three academic journals (The Economic Journal, Economica, Review of Economic Studies) survive in the Cambridge Archive, gives us a unique vantage point for exploring anew this period of intellectual history.
