ABSTRACT

Scholarship in history of economic thought and methodology (HET/M) has been rising at a healthy rate in the past quarter of the century. Since 1969, the number of refereed articles in the field has more than tripled, the share having grown from 2.9 percent to 4.1 percent (Fogarty and Naples 1996).1 Since the number of articles in HET/M in the orthodox, generalist journals has been stable (Patinkin 1992), most of the rising interest in such scholarship has been reflected in new journals dedicated to HET/M or to heterodox economics.2
