Don't overlook the work of Evan Durbin, the closest thing there ever was to a Hayekian socialist. If memory serves he was an advocate of planning but fiercely disliked deficit spending, and was quite suspicious of Keynesianism. A very interesting guy who died before his time. His daughter, Elizabeth Durbin (a beautiful person, excellent historian, also sadly gone) wrote an excellent book on the period, "New Jerusalems".

Subject: [SHOE] LSE and the Socialist Calculation Debate

Dear all,

I am looking into the socialist calculation debate and especially as it affected scholarship at LSE during the 1920s and 1930s. I'm interested in both the "endogenous" schooling and development of the "market socialism" (and related) idea, as e.g. Abba Lerner was a student there, and the "exogenous" influence exercised on LSE faculty and students (especially of later renown, such as Lerner, Ronald Coase, and others). I have much of the obvious literature, but would appreciate your thoughts on what literature and writers/scholars would be relevant to further disentangle personal and ideological relationships at LSE and the process of influence of the socialist idea.

Thanks!


Per
