Summary of messages regarding the intellectual impact of European
emigres in Economics (and other disciplines) received from HES members. I
will post a summary of the discussion on H-IDEAS at a later point.
Thank you to all who sent information. The summary has been posted on

The New School for Social Research is very proud of its emigre
economists including Adolph Lowe and Jacob Marshak. You would do
well to contact Robert Heilbroner who is a store house of info on
this subject and I think would be very eager to help. He is
still at the New School, though emeritus and you can contact him
there. If that doesn't work, contact me and I can get him for
you.

There is a nice book on the New School entitled something like
_Intellectuals in Exile_ which is very good on this point.
From: "H.W. Plasmeijer" <[log in to unmask]>
The best work on the subject is indeed Harald Hagemann (ed.) 'Die
Deutschsprachige wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Emigration nach
1933'. The book, which contains the proceedings of a conference
in Stuttgart (in 1991) is bilingual. Its publication is often
delayed. Now it is announced for November 1995. The publisher is
Metropolis Verlag. P.O. Box 1748, D-35007 Marburg.
I know Harald Hagemann has gathered some additional material on
German emigres. His first list, which was distributed at the
conference, mentioned 292 emigres. I've been told that his new
list gives the names of over 500 social scientists.
There must be enough material on Dutch emigrees. The names are
well known. Tjalling Koopmans, Henri Theil, Samuel Houthakker and
J.J. Polak. The best thing to do, however, is to contact Polak,
who lives in New York.

I believe Hughes, THE SEA CHANGE may have a chap in re sociology.
Eduard Heiman had an article in re econs
Names:
Schumpeter, Hayek, Polanyi: stand out because they all wrote
1940s books on political economy of democratic capitalism.

I know that Dr. H. Hagemann of the Univ. of Hohenheim in
Stuttgart Germany is in the middle of a major work on why
emigrated and what happened thereafter. I read a short article
on one form historian of economic thought that I studied with in
collge-- Josef Soudek (Czech). Hagemann's work is first rate.I
hope this is helpful. How far from publication? I have no idea.

There's a superb collection of essays edited by B. Bailyn and
T(?) Fleming called The Intellectual Migration (The Belknap
Press, 1963 - I think).
