Economic Historians Make Great Contributions To Economic Science.

What a great interview by both Mark Thornton and Jeffrey Tucker!

Anyone, who for whatever reason, thinks that economic historians are not to be regarded as great contributors to economics because a work of theirs is not 'original' needs to listen to this interview.

It is now possible for each of us to sit down with Bastiat and Cantillon and learn from them. Not everyone interested in economics will make original contributions to the science of economics and those few who do will benefit greatly from the knowledge gained from others. Like Ludwig von Mises, all of the great 'original' contributors were well educated and broadly educated.

Who Can Assess Original Contributions To Economic Science?

Is there any dishonor in being an economic historian? Are there economic historians who do not want to be considered economic historians and who would rather be known as economists? Is the difference between an economic historian and an economist specifically related to original contributions to economic science rather than commentary on the contributions of others?

These are the issues being pondered. Who is the judge to decide what is original? Is there a built-in snobbery among academic economists where the same hoops of fire that they must jump through - because of their institutional requirements - are made the criteria for assessing 'original?'

Well, I guess I will rock your world then! Divine economy theory is an original contribution to economic science and it stands ready and able for any and all scrutiny!!! Who among you dares to examine it?

Above, it is stated over and over that the science of economics has to advance and cannot just look back. OK let's see if those who say that really believe it.

Rothbard's Brilliance Is A Source Of Illumination.

All signs point to the fact that Rothbard was a genius and fortunately he was also perceptive enough to discover Mises, and then he put his genius to work in the philosphy of classical liberalism and economics specifically. Just because he was a genius and he found the correct methodology for the study of human sciences does not mean that he was perfect and so for those who want to focus on his flaws there are ample examples, but for those who want to focus on his brilliance there are many times more of those types of examples.

Likewise, exposing students of economics to the works of Rothbard may not be the only brilliant contribution made towards their education but it is definitely infinitely better for those individuals and for society than the darkness of standard contemporary philosophical and economic education in these - the Dark Ages of economics.
