Let me rephrase: there exist between historians and historians of economic 
thought barriers of language and training that do not exist in economics 
departments.  In addition to producing high-quality historical scholarship, 
historians of economic thought have a role to play in influencing the 
direction of economic research and policy formation.  Given the 
balkanisation of academic economic knowledge this function is unlikely to 
be performed from 'outside' departments.
