The Transatlantic is an academic journal adopting an interdisciplinary approach to span the gulf between Economics and Philosophy. Due to an academic void in the field of Philosophy and Economics, particularly felt by undergraduates interested in this area, students on both sides of the Atlantic decided in 2009 to collaboratively produce and publish a half-annually on the intersection of the two disciplines. The project is open to everyone and hopes to serve as a global forum for those with an interest in the field. It is in this spirit that students from London, New York, Shanghai, Toronto, Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh and many other places are currently working together to establish this new platform for debate.

The Transatlantic is officially published jointly by LSE Philosophy Society and Columbia Economics Society.
