Abstract

The paper seeks to vindicate the value of the study of the history of economic thought (HET). It argues against the complaint that the study is antiquarian. It contends that, although HET does not confer operational and objective skills, it does provide insight into economic ideas, and sharpens our acumen in responding to them.
