The need of Heterodox theories for a marriage between history and economics

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper shows how economic theory and history can be matched with the use of heterodox theories. This matching between history and economics is needed for a better comprehension of reality. Cliometrics, regulationism, institutional economics are some of the tentative approaches that have been used. The use of only orthodox theories is not enough for an understanding of multiple economic phenomena arising in the real world.
