Bob, I think at least one chapter of the first part of "The sociology and
professionalization of economics" (AW Coats, 1993) should be on a course to
study on issues of methodology of the history of economic thought. This book
has several applications and is fundamental to study the economic thought
after Keynes.

Dear all

Given the ongoing debate about how students (and possibly teachers) should
be more exposed to history of economic thought, I've been thinking about
ways of how this may be achieved. One possibility might be to put together a
collection of reprints of classic articles and chapters which examine the
subject itself (e.g. why it should be studied, methodology, etc.) and/or
classic pieces which have examined specific HET episodes/periods/ideas. And
so my inevitable question to the list: What should, and should not, be
included in such a volume?

All the best

Bob
