Note from McCloskey:
“The categories in sequence below reflect the rough chronology of my developing interests, from the 1960s to the present. I continue to have an interest in, and continue to write in, earlier fields, such as economic history (categories 1–6)—my 2010 book, for example, Bourgeois Dignity: Why Economics Can’t Explain the Modern World, tests the explanations for the Industrial Revolution and its aftermath, and the third and final volume of the trilogy, Bourgeois Equality: How Ideas, Not Capital or Institutions, Enriched the World, 2016, is heavily economic history, though also social and literary in keeping with my trudge towards a ‘humanomics.’”
