Talk:Economic History

This entire book needs to be renamed Economic History. History of Economic Thought should be a history of economnic thought.

I concur. Perhaps it would help to say what we mean by "history of economic thought." Courses and books under that title survey the contributions of the great economists, such as Adam Smith, Malthus, Ricardo, Marx, Mill, Marshall and others, and (usually) something on the contributions of philosophers and others before Smith and something on twentieth-century developments in economics. My course also includes Austrian economics. The draft we see here is indeed economic history, and many economic historians probably would have their doubts about the "stages" approach it uses.

I completely agree. This book doesn't mention names of economists that founded the theory of economics how we understand it today.

I agree. This is economic history, no history of economics! Dick Bos (talk) 09:14, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree with the others, but also feel that if this book isn't going to be vastly expanded it should be edited to include more relevant information and moved to another econ/phil book or deleted all together. After all most of this information would really just be copying the wikipedia page History of Economic THougt -- Mattseeger 2:14 25 January 2009 (CST)
