Congratulations to Herrade Igersheim, a 2015-16 HOPE Center visiting scholar, for winning the 2023 AISPE Best Article in the History of Economic Thought Award for her article “Rawls and the Economists: The (Im)possible Dialogue,” published in 2022 in the Revue Economique. In her article, Herrade, a 2015-16 HOPE Center visiting scholar, has created a remarkable in-depth reconstruction of the dialogue between John Rawls and economists such as Arrow, Buchanan, Musgrave, Harsanyi, Sen, Samuelson and others. The article is built on rigorous and new archival work done on Rawls’s correspondence. Herrade’s narration of this controversy is a pleasure to read and sheds new light on crucial debates about the concept of justice, at the crossroads of economics and philosophy.
Congratulations Herrade!
