Zusammenfassung: | ABSTRACT The frontal clash in the pages of Economica between Friedrich A. Hayek and John Maynard Keynes in 1931 was unique in scale and influence. Although this event had intense repercussions on the profession as a whole, in 1943 occurred a less discussed episode involving both men. Hayek and Keynes entered into controversy regarding the re-foundations of the international monetary order post-Second World War and the commodity reserve currency proposal. This round was somewhat neglected but is historiographically relevant since it was the only public debate with the active engagement of both sides in a professional journal after 1931. Moreover, it epitomized the personal and intellectual mature relationship of Hayek and Keynes, marked by convergence, dialogue, and friendship. This collaboration was particularly developed when the London School of Economics (LSE) evacuated to Cambridge during the Second World War and Keynes found rooms for Hayek in King’s College, Cambridge.
RESUMO O choque frontal nas páginas da Economica entre Friedrich A. Hayek e John Maynard Keynes em 1931 foi singular em escala e influência. Apesar deste evento ter tido intensas repercussões na profissão como um todo, em 1943 ocorreu um episódio menos conhecido envolvendo ambos. Hayek e Keynes entraram em controvérsia sobre as refundações do sistema monetário internacional no pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial e a proposta da moeda baseada em reservas de commodities. Esse round foi negligenciado, mas é historicamente relevante, já que foi o único debate público com engajamento ativo de ambos os lados em uma revista profissional depois de 1931. Ademais, o mesmo é representativo da relação madura pessoal e intelectual de Hayek e Keynes, marcado por convergência, diálogo e amizade. Essa colaboração foi particularmente desenvolvida quando a London School of Economics (LSE) teve de ser evacuada para Cambridge durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial e Keynes arranjou acomodações para Hayek no King’s College, Cambridge. |
