Dear colleagues,

I'm delighted to inform you that the 33rd episode of 'Smith and Marx walk
into a bar: a history of economics podcast' is out:
https://hetpodcast.libsyn.com/episode-thirty-three

In this episode, Scott, Gerardo and Carlos review three recent additions to
the literature in the history of economic thought and economic methodology:
Gerardo discusses a paper on the role of the “economic priest” in the
cooperative movement in Ireland in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth
centuries; Scott reviews a paper addressing two contrasting views of
ecological rationality in the works of Vernon Smith and Gerd Gigerenzer;
and Carlos discusses a paper about the evolving meaning of “consumption” as
an economic concept and the role of intoxicants in crafting its early uses.

If you are interested in reading the papers discussed in this episode, here
they are (unfortunately, some may be behind paywalls):
