Talk:Economic schools of thought

More merging
I posted this a moment ago on the History of economics page...
 * I want to open up the talk on merging Economic schools of thought with the history of economics articles. Here's the reason. I think that if you used the title "History of economic thought" then there's nothing to distinguish the two. If there is something, what is it? JEL which people keep talking about distinguishes Economic history from Schools of thought, but of course the former is about how economies (rather than economic theories) have evolved through history. Someone suggested above that if it's a current a current school of thought (e.g. neoclassicism) then it ain't history. It's present. Well, I personally don't believe in an End of history and to be fair schools of thought that may be predominant today have themselves had a history which on an encyclopedia deserves some unified explanation. Feel free to reply, agree, denounce what I've said, etc.  Wik idea  02:11, 24 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Further to that, this article is fairly small by comparison and can easily be put into a proper article titled "History of economic thought".  Wik idea  02:13, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
