At its meeting this past June at the University of North Carolina at
Greensboro, the History of Economics society was pleased to announce the
election of SAMUEL HOLLANDER (University Professor Emeritus, University of
Toronto) as a distinguished fellow of the Society.
The following citation was provided by the nominating committee (written
by Bob Dimand and Malcolm Rutherford):
Professor Samuel Hollander is one of the most distinguished scholars and
teachers of the history of economic thought alive today. His publication
record consist of an early book on the sources of increased efficiency in
Du Pont rayon plants, some two volumes of articles recently collected and
published by Routledge, and, of course, his series of Studies in Classical
Political Economy, published by the University of Toronto Press. The
series consists of The Economics of Adam Smith (1973), The Economics of
David Ricardo (1979), The Economics of John Stuart Mill (2 vols,. 1985),
and most recently The Economics of Thomas Robert Malthus. In addition
Professor Hollander has produced Classical Economics (1987). Taken
together, his Studies in Classical Economics provide a brilliant,
challenging, and massively documented, reinterpretation of
the central figures and writings of classical economics. A conference in
Toronto last September in Honor of Professor Hollander ("Reflecting on the
Canon") was a testament to the importance and the impact
of Professor Hollander's research on classical economics. Those who have
agreed and those who have disagreed with him alike have been driven on to
further research to the benefit of all true scholars.
Professor Hollander has also been an outstandingly successful teacher of
the history of economics. His legacy is thus also to be found among his
students. They have produced a considerable body of first class work in
the history of eonomics, and a number are active members of this society.
