Mapping Mainstream Economics: Genealogical Foundations of Alternativity seeks to establish a definition of the mainstream economics, and by extension the alternatives to it, by adopting a genealogical approach: tracing the methodological development of the economic mainstream through its ancestry, which allows for a definition of the mainstream that is separate from politically charged categories or gridlocked academic arguments between received schools of thought.

The AAZ (General Emigration Newspaper), published from 1846-1871, included lists of emigrants. Only part of the multitude of entries about Germans abroad were selected for this book, namely those in immediate connection with emigration or passage. This includes name lists of passengers that were completely or partially printed. Also included are names of persons who suffered shipwreck, and names of emigrants who died in a hospital shortly after arrival. Information about the passengers includes: number; surname; first name and details; origin; ship; from and to; departure and arrival; and issue. This index of 29,637 names of emigrants will help many genealogists to connect their family with a specified German town. (606pp. Masthof Press, 2014.)
