	Arnold Toynbee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arnold Toynbee (August 23, 1852 - March 9, 1883) was a British economic historian also noted for his social commitment and desire to improve the living conditions of the working class.
		Toynbee was born in London as the son of the physician Joseph Toynbee, a pioneering otolaryngologist in his time; the more famous universal historian Arnold Joseph Toynbee (1889-1975), with whom he is often confused, was his nephew.
		Another idea Toynbee dismissed was to consider free competition as universally beneficial to economic and societal progress, especially as reflected in its apotheosis in Social Darwinism, which promotes laissez-faire capitalism.

	Divergence: The Widening Gap Between Rich and Poor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The economic transformation of most of the world is less than a century behind the economic transformation of the leading-edge economies-only an eyeblink behind, from a millennial perspective.
		The economic history of the past century and a quarter is a history not of "convergence" but of "divergence": the different countries and peoples of the world have not drawn closer together in relative living standards, but have drifted further apart.
		Historians of technology have long argued that the capital goods industries are uniquely well suited to serve as centers for technological diffusion to other sectors of the economy where such knowledge had practical applications.

	Is There a Theory of Economic History?
		Hence the growing interest economic historians have displayed in recent years in such variables as anthropometric proxies of nutritional status,the decline in infectious diseases, changes in fertility control and infant mortality, and such.
		Economic historians will get part of the answer from economics, particularly from a Beckerian analysis of the opportunity costs of women’s time and possibly from the kind of household bargaining models that have been proposed by Robert Pollak and hiscolleagues.
		Most economic historians today would agree that almost all economic growth before the Industrial Revolution and much of it afterward depended crucially on the kind of rules by which the economic game was played.

	Ludwig von Mises Institute
		In Rothbard’s view, economic laws can be relied upon in interpreting these nonrepeatable historical events because the validity of these laws—or, better yet, their truth—can be established with certainty by praxeology, a science based on the universal experience of human action that is logically anterior to the experience of particular historical episodes.
		The task of the historian, then, is to penetrate to the essence of the transaction, to strip the ideological garb from the Emperor State and to reveal the economic motive at the heart of the issue.
		In their view, the primary task of the economic historian is to identify the observable set of circumstances that accounts for the emergence of the historical events under investigation by formulating and testing theoretical conjectures about the course of events that would have developed in the absence of these circumstances.

		"Cipolla was a leading economic historian of his generation," said Jan de Vries, the Sidney Hellman Ehrman Professor of History and Economics at UC Berkeley and Cipolla's colleague for many years.
		He was said to have inspired many students to explore the subjects of economic and monetary history, as well as the history of medicine and public health.
		Greg Grossman, a professor emeritus of economics at UC Berkeley, said Cipolla's wide interests could be seen in his impressive collections of ancient coins, old clocks, 18th century Italian paintings and Roman surgical instruments.

	H-Net Review: Lynne Kiesling on Economics and the Historian
		Economic historians fill a peculiar, and sometimes uncomfortable, intellectual gap in the social sciences.
		Arguing that economic analysis contributes a useful set of tools to historical scholarship, the eight economic historians writing these essays attempt to negate the stereotype of economic analysis as false quantification and so much mathematical esoterica.
		Likewise the historian of labor, of agriculture, of trade policy, of elite politics, of the church, of international conflict, of the arts, of migration, ideas, industrialization, universities, technology, demography, or crime ignores the economic approach at the risk of losing important lines of explanation.

	Jack Kemp, Economic Historian -- NOT!
		Towards the end of that column, he made the wild claim that, “There is no demonstrable instances in economic history where nations were made worse off by free and open trade.” In reality, the examples are legion, and include even the most powerful countries being laid low by rivals in “open trade.”
		Historian Jaime Vicens Vives has concluded, “One of the fundamental causes of the Spanish economy's profound decline in the seventeenth century, maritime trade had fallen into the hands of foreigners.” The “opening of the internal market to foreign goods” produced a “fatal result.” Imports ran double exports
		Jack Kemp is clearly no student of history, and should know better than to pretend that he is. Instead, he should relate today’s global economic competition to something he does know; to his days at a pro football quarterback.

	H-ALBION: Economic History Review-Newsletter
		There are still, at least in Britain, but probably elsewhere too, economic historians who believe that it is precisely the direction taken by these Nobel prize winners that has derailed the old subject and deprived it of the excitement that it once had.
		Economics, the dismal science, dealing in aggregates and abstraction was at the other end of the spectrum from history which told stories about people - how they lived, why they took certain actions.
		While economics provides a powerful means for understanding problems there are invariably other parts to the explanation, and these are often historical; but even where they are not the likelihood is that explanation lies in areas that historians are on the look-out for.

		Only after the end of the war, when the most damaging government policies were abandoned, did genuine economic prosperity and economic growth resume.
