Map of Economic Thought in Dublin

Following up from the previous post, here is a first version of a map of the history of economics in Dublin.  The purpose of this map is to stimulate discussion and appreciation of the history of economic thought in Dublin. Some of the figures, including Edgeworth, Geary, Cairnes and Bastable, made intellectual contributions that are important internationally, and many of the economists featured were key figures in national policy debates.  It is intended as a public discussion tool and not itself as a primary academic source and draws in detail from excellent source material below, in particular the Boylan et al, 2011, Murphy 1984 and Murphy and Prendergast 2000 books that are worth reading for anyone with an interest in Irish history, and the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. It is also a work-in-progress and I will update frequently. It is based on a similar project conducted by Professor Ian Preston at University College London. http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~uctp100/Walks/EconWalks.htm Doireann O’Brien provided detailed assistance with locating sources and developing the map and associated resources.

One reply on “Map of Economic Thought in Dublin”

Thanks for posting this,Liam. Should prove useful in engaging public interest in economic history, and ultimately the role and function of economics in society. From a teaching perspective, it’s inspirational. To my mind as a learning device it has obvious potential across a range of disciplines.For student projects, a mapping project is a fun way to impart basic research as well as communications skills to undergraduates and to further promote constructive engagement with social media.
