Discussion of the Paper by John U. Nef: What Is Economic History?

Richard Harrison Shryock

The Journal of Economic History, 1944, vol. 4, issue S1, 20-28

Abstract: I am in entire sympathy with Mr. Nef's emphasis on historical synthesis or over-all interpretations, which is certainly in order after a period in which analytical fragmentation has been so stressed. We are also in agreement concerning the need for a study of the interrelationships between various aspects of history that are now usually treated as specialties.
