Summary: | In 2010, the European Journal of the History of Economic Thought (EJHET) and the European Society for the History of Economic Thought (ESHET) initiated a fruitful cooperation, leading to the publication of a special annual issue of EJHET consisting of a selection of papers from the preceding year’s ESHET conference. After seven years of committed collaboration, this joint venture has put down strong roots and the two autonomous institutions – the Journal and the Society – have successfully joined forces in their mission to promote innovative and promising research in the academic field of the history of economic thought. This special issue publishes a selection of the papers presented at the annual ESHET conference held in Rome on 14–16 May 2015, jointly organised by Universit a Roma Tre (where the conference took place), Sapienza Universit a di Roma and Universit a degli Studi di Roma “Tor Vergata.” The theme of the Rome conference was “Great Controversies in Economics”, and the meeting attracted almost 300 participants to its plenary and parallel sessions
