Are there Limits to the Past in the History of Economic Thought?

S. Todd Lowry

Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 1991, vol. 13, issue 2, 134-143

Abstract: When I first began the serious study of the history of economic thought, my presumption was that one should always start at the beginning. This was some thirty-five years ago and I have been finding so much interesting material that I have had a hard time getting past Adam Smith. The search for the beginning, of course, led me to the question of what do we mean by economic thought and how do we define it for the purpose of identifying its origin?.
