John Creedy

History of Economics Review, 1999, vol. 30, issue 1, 1-24

Abstract: This paper provides a broad review of the contribution of D.P. O’Brien to the history of economic analysis over a period of over 35 years. After discussion the role of rational reconstruction and his methodological position, attention is given to the overlapping subjects of classical economics and monetary economics. His treatments of several major neoclassical figures are then briefly discussed. His work provides an example of the need to bring historical perspective to bear on modern economic analysis and the importance of a thorough knowledge of modern economic theory when examining the history of economic analysis.
