Introduction: Unknown Writings

Abstract

The main theme of this book is publications by Swedish economists that for some reason have been more or less forgotten. The main reason for this oblivion is probably that present-day economists are not particularly interested in the history of economic doctrines.1 It has nothing to do with the persons. Of course all of them are not equally well known today, but none of them is really ‘forgotten’. Knut Wicksell is our greatest economist, all categories, and all economics students learn about the Heckscher-Ohlin theorem. Eli Heckscher and Bertil Ohlin are known by most people in the profession. It is worse with Staffan Burenstam Linder. International economists know what the ‘Linder thesis’ is, and, just a few years ago, his book about the scarcity of time was published in a new Swedish edition, but to Swedes he is more well known as a politician (exactly like Bertil Ohlin). Torsten Gårdlund is presumably just a name for today’s economists. He is known as a biographer, for his book about KnutWicksell, and in Sweden also for his book about Marcus Wallenberg, Sr, the ‘district judge’. Some people have even read them, but that is usually the end of the story. Sven Rydenfelt is not known outside Sweden other than among the members of the Mont Pelerin Society, and in Sweden he is known mainly for his many newspaper articles. Jaime Behar, finally, is known mainly among Latin Americanists.
