Adam Smith and All That

John Creedy

Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 2002, vol. 24, issue 4, 479-489

Abstract: Students of economics no longer study the history of economic thought for the simple reason that it is much too difficult. It requires a lot of reading of books that do not have convenient introductions and summaries, and so it takes up far too much time. As a consequence, most economists are not familiar with the great names of the past and are unable to place modern analyses in historical, or any other, perspective.
