As this blog keeps saying, econ history is not just back in discussions but leading to some very interesting debates and conferences. It is just that the profession somehow has to start even teaching at rigorously.
Norges Bank recently held a conference titled — Of the uses of central banks: Lessons from history.
Conf.program has papers from all who’s who of econ and monetary history.
I just read this paper by Andy Haldane (of BoE) and Jan Qvigstad of Norges Bank. They go specifically into history of BoE and Norges Bank and then extend it to central banking in general. They show how central banks have actually evolved overtime and roles have changed/modified with time.
