Place

The idea of a blog came to Floris and Tiago, on June 8th 2007, at the Young Scholars’ dinner table. The event was the opening reception of the History of Economics Society Meetings at Mason Hall, George Mason University, USA.

The blog became a certainty 13 days later, at Restaurant Escale à Saïgon, Paris, France, during the History of Recent Economics Conference. Floris and Tiago were joined by Loïc.

What does this (nano) history tell us about place? Academics migrate with the seasons and dinner tables are sites of conspiracy.
