	Historical school of economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Historical school of economics was a mainly German school of economic thought which held that a study of history was the key source of knowledge about human actions and economic matters, since economics would be culture-specific and not generalizable over space and time.
		The German historical school largely controlled academia in Germany, as many of the advisors of Friedrich Althoff, head of the university department in the Prussian Ministry of Education from 1882 to 1907.
		This school was highly influenced by the likes of Francis Bacon, Auguste Comte, and Herbert Spencer.It was this school that heavily critiqued the deductive nature of the classical economists, with several of the thinkers associated with this school selecting David Ricardo as the focus of their attack.

		It is to the case studies, I suspect, that most economic historians will be drawn and the editor is to be congratulated on bringing together an impressive cast of practitioners of historical economics.
		The late-nineteenth-century historical school of economics also erred, he maintains, but in the opposite direction, by rejecting the deductive method.
		Snooks offers a reformist conception of economic history, not applied economics or merely detailed description, but the study of the role of institutions, of past crises and their solutions, to gain a better understanding of the long-run world policy-makers must address.

		economics is the study of how societies organize the production and distribution of the means of human sustenance and larger consumption.
		Hence it does not discriminate against economic history – economic history is included in a natural way in the definition, as well as economic anthropology and economic sociology.
		From the standpoint of my suggested definition of economics, the marginalist approach then appears as the study of the distribution or allocation of a given set of resources to the achievement of (some of) a given set of possible (ranked) uses.

		First, the history of economics teaching at Swarthmore is one of nearly continuous growth and professionalization.
		Despite this dramatic growth, there is a notable continuity in the history of economics at Swarthmore: a devotion to Quaker causes and social justice that often superseded purely theoretical interests.
		In part because of Swarthmore’s Quaker roots, to a notably greater extent than the American economics profession as a whole, members of the Swarthmore Economics Department have often combined teaching and academic research with a commitment to the social issues of the day.
