There is a clear distinction between the History of Ideas and Intellectual  
History.  In its broad sweep, though not in the detail of its execution,  
Schumpeter's HISTORY OF ECONOMIC ANALYSIS is a history of  
ideas.  The history of ideas does not have a political dimension.  That  
is it does not have political movements and events as an external  
referent in its mode of procedure.  Schumpeter was correct on this  
showing, if what I understand is being said of Schumpeter is correct.  
But a question remains as to whether the History of Economics is a  
subdiscipline of the History of Ideas or of Intellectual History.
