Official insider histories are less informative than newer critical scholarship

Evidence

The sanctioned internalist history by Hartwell (1995) is distinctly uninformative about such intellectual and social matters. More serious historical work is beginning to appear, such as Walpen (2004); Plehwe and Walpen (2005); and Laurent (2006). — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 860
