J. BROWN, “PHILLIPS’S CURVE,” AND ECONOMIC NETWORKS IN THE 1950S – EXPRESSION OF CONCERN

After publication, it was brought to the journal editors’ attention that this article (Button, K. (2018). A. J. BROWN, “PHILLIPS’S CURVE,” AND ECONOMIC NETWORKS IN THE 1950S. Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 40(2), 243-264. doi:10.1017/S1053837217000025) contains overlap with the book The Value of Applied Economics --The Life and Work of Arthur (A.J.) Brown, authored by K. Button (Button, K. (2017). The Value of Applied Economics -- The Life and Work of Arthur (A.J.) Brown. Cheltenham, UK: Edward Elgar Publishing. https://doi.org/10.4337/9781786433664.00006). The framing and wording of arguments in this article have considerable similarity to those presented in the book. The author has confirmed that he worked on both the above article and book simultaneously. The editors and the author acknowledge the overlap, which is not minor and should have been disclosed prior to acceptance, but the editors do not believe any further action should be taken to correct the scholarly record other than publication of this notice to alert readers.
