Institutional economics is the leading heterodox school in economics. The other characteristic of the school is the ‘Americanness’ of its trajectory. But recent years have witnessed a transformation in the traditional boundaries of institutional economics. The school has opened its doors to European thoughts, and then the European wing of institutionalism has emerged. While European institutionalism suffered from heterogeneity of its theoretical content, it nonetheless has a potential to overcome the ‘isolation’ problem of the American version. G.M.Hodgson, who is the leading European institutionalist, is one of the best example for examining how European institutionalism can contribute to institutional economics. The aim of this paper is to identify the potentials of European institutionalism, with particular attention to Hodgson’s works.

An Unconventional Critique of Economic Liberalism: Reconsidering the Austrian School in the Light of Fernand Braudel ÖZÇELİK, Emre (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2005-6) Austrian school of economics tends to identify ‘capitalism’ with the ‘market economy’. A celebrated member of this school once warned that “[t]he psychological problem of why people scorn and disparage capitalism and call everything they dislike ‘capitalistic’ … concerns history and must be left to the historians.” One does not have to be a specialist in history in order to acquaint himself with the magnum opus of the “Pope of history”, namely Civilization and Capitalism of Fernand Braudel. Braudel’s full-...
