About

Bruce Caldwell is emeritus research professor of economics and director emeritus of the Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University. His first book, Beyond Positivism: Economic Methodology in the 20th Century (Allen & Unwin, 1984), explored the relationship between twentieth-century philosophy of science and the writings of economists on questions of economic methodology. For the past three decades his research has principally focused on the multifaceted writings of Nobel laureate, economist, and social theorist Friedrich A. Hayek. Caldwell is the author of Hayek's Challenge: An Intellectual Biography of F. A. Hayek (University of Chicago Press, 2003), general editor of the multivolume Collected Works of F.A. Hayek (University of Chicago Press), and the editor of Mont Pèlerin 1947: Transcripts of the Founding Meeting of the Mont Pèlerin Society (Hoover Institution Press, 2022). He is working with Hansjoerg Klausinger on the second volume of a family-authorized biography of Hayek titled Hayek: A Life. Caldwell has held research fellowships at the London School of Economics, New York University, Cambridge University, and the Hoover Institution. He is a past president as well as a distinguished fellow of both the History of Economics Society and the Southern Economic Association and is a life member of Clare Hall, Cambridge.
