Abstract
It is unfortunate that the demands for technical specialization in modern economics have led to a decrease in the attention given to the development of broad interdisciplinary and historical perspectives. To many, the study of the history of the discipline is merely a review of past error, an enterprise in which they see little utility. As a result, the history of economics, according to one economist [Blaug, 1978, p. 4], is “not so much the chronicle of a continuous accumulation of theoretical achievements as the story of exaggerated intellectual revolutions in which truths already known are neglected in favor of new revelations.”
