History of Economic Thought’s Place in Macroeconomics Revisited

David Laidler

No 20235, University of Western Ontario, Departmental Research Report Series from University of Western Ontario, Department of Economics

Abstract: The History of Economics Society was founded at a time when the History of Economic Thought was being expelled from the Economics post-graduate curriculum in many universities, and was one of the key institutions around which the sub-discipline successfully re-organised itself and continued to develop. Laidler (2003) argued that Economics itself, especially Macroeconomics, was suffering serious damage from this expulsion. It has continued to do so since.
