In this episode, co-hosts Carlos Eduardo Suprinyak, Gerardo Serra, and Scott Scheall are joined by Alain Marciano and Jean-Baptiste Fleury, co-winners of this year's Craufurd Goodwin Prize for Best Article in the History of Economics for their article "The Making of a Constitutionalist: James Buchanan on Education." In addition to their joint project on Buchanan, Marciano's forthcoming biography of Buchanan, Nancy MacLean's infamous book on Buchanan, Democracy in Chains, the discussion considers Fleury's work on the history of the law-and-economics tradition, his use of textbook material in his historical work, and what makes a successful collaborative project in the history of economics.
