This chapter describes and analyses the historiography of law and the economy in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. There are two narrowing tendencies currently at work in legal and economic historiography. One is the separation of national schools; the other is the rise to domination of the economistic approach. The chapter examines the intellectual lineage of today's dominant economistic models and criticises its usefulness for structuring enquiry into legal and economic history. It also investigates alternative historical models of legal and economic change, and the emergence of national schools.Less

This chapter discusses the history of business in Chile from 1850 to 1945. It shows that the history of business has been a marginal component in the development of Chile. The combined production of economists and scholars presents a major turning point for economic historiography and for business history. It illustrates that the social and political gravitation of the landowners remains the central theme in the agricultural sector in Chile. Mining offers the principal foundation for interpretations which stress the vigorous growth in the Chilean economy. This chapter reveals that the successful completion of research on business history presents a number of difficulties.Less

This chapter questions some views about long-run economic development that have dominated the economic historiography of both Mexico and Portugal. In fact, many would argue that economic growth and industrialization gained momentum in the two countries only after World War II and as a consequence of the opening up of their economies to positive influences of growth from their more developed neighbors. The chapter contributes to the exploration of the causes of economic growth in the periphery of the industrialized world during the interwar period. Economic growth in the two countries was marked by a path of intensive structural change at the national and industrial levels. The available data is not sufficient to endeavor into detailed analyses of total factor productivity, but the observed changes in the structure of output and labor input enlighten the most important factors behind interwar growth.Less
