Émigré Economists in America: Their Impact and Their Experiences

Author

  • Hagemann, Harald

Abstract

The essay reflects the experience of the author in participating in HES activities over 37 of its 50 years. The main focus is on scholars who emigrated to the USA in the period of totalitarian regimes in Europe and the influence they exerted in the USA. It is emphasized that many émigrés developed “aerial roots” (Streeten), i.e., they became citizens of the world and thereby carriers of the process of internationalization after World War II. This cosmopolitan spirit also permeated the HES from the beginning when many émigré scholars were still active. It also contributed to the formation of an international network of scholars and societies in the history of economic thought which is flourishing today.
