Nell was a member of the New School faculty from 1969 to 2014. He achieved the rank of Malcolm B. Smith Professor of Economics in 1990. He is currently the chief economist for Recipco.Nell's contributions are in the field of Macroeconomic Theory, Monetary Analysis and Finance, Economic Methodology and Philosophy, Transformational Growth and Development. He has written some twenty books. His articles on economic theory and methodology have appeared in leading journals like the American Economic Review, the Journal of Political Economy, the Journal of Economic Literature, Cambridge Journal of Economics, Eastern Economic Journal, Review of Political Economy, Economic Development and Cultural Change, Analysis, and Social Research.Nell is known for his critical view of the methodological and philosophical foundations of Neo-Classical Economics (what Nell calls free-market economists), examined in his best known book Rational Economic Man (Cambridge University Press, 1975) and coauthored with English rationalist philosopher Martin Hollis. Nell is also the originator of the General Theory of 'Transformational Growth'. The full development of the General Theory of Transformational Growth came in the 90s, and was published as The General Theory of Transformational Growth (Cambridge University Press, 1998). The methodology/philosophy which underlies the Theory of Transformational Growth is a form of realism, based on filling in 'conceptual truths' by doing fieldwork and then building models of solidly based institutionally grounded relationships.In a collection of essays in honor of Edward J. Nell published in 2004, Argyrous, Forstater and Mongiovi wrote: Nell has been pushing the envelop of economic theory for forty years. Nell has been a member of the Graduate Faculty of the New School for Social Research (NY) since 1969. His writings and teaching reflect the intellectual values cherished by the German-speaking émigré economists who formed the backbone of the Graduate Faculty at its inauguration in the early 1930s — methodological eclecticism, a critical outlook toward conventional economic thinking, and a powerful commitment to the idea that the ultimate purpose of social science is to assist the achievement of progressive outcomes. Nell's intellectual breadth is indicated by the range of issues to which he has made important contributions: Growth Theory, the Capital Theory Debate, Monetary Economics, Macroeconomic Theory and Policy, Drug Policy, Structural Economic Change, Economic Methodology, Economic History, Analytic Philosophy, and the Philosophy of Knowledge."@en }
