Malcolm and Gavin are right. I have used as a rough and ready measure the
bibliographical entries that have a publication year under "economic
doctrine(s)" and "history of economic thought" in the Worldcat and created a
graph. Until the 1970s there is no significant difference in the frequency
of use of either term.  It seems, however, that after the 1970s, "history of
economic thought" takes off at an exponential rate, while "economic
doctrine(s)" is on the decline.

And we have the excellent text by the celebrated (at least in Edinburgh by
generations of students) Professor Alexander Gray, 1931.  The Development of
Economic Doctrine. Longmans, Green and Co.  London.

Everyone should recall that the term “Economic Doctrines” used to be used
quite commonly to describe the history of economic thought.  In particular
T. W. Hutchison’s Review of Economic Doctrines 1953.
