Claimb92b35e939f7e0b0945176b35f94c7c655c297d16c62013139e109d2cb89a609·Paper reconstruction — Dustin Avent-Holt & Alysha Bailey (2024), What counts as productive? Redefining ‘producers’ in economic discourse, 1890–1960

Claim

Utility was already a highly prevalent productivity frame by 1890–1909: around 70% of all sampled textbooks and about 78% of texts discussing the boundary used it; after 1909 the range was 89–100%, and all boundary-discussing texts in 1910–1944 used it.

Evidence (3)

What counts as productive? Redefining ‘producers’ in economic discourse, 1890–1960 — Post-marginal-revolution contestation: utility expands the producer boundary, but competing frames persist
the marginal revolution made utility even more central to economic discourse
