Abstract

[fre] A Theory of Economie History in Place of Economie Theory ? . . Les historiens économistes, marginalisés dans l'académie (ils ne sont pleinement acceptés ni par les économistes ni par les historiens politico-culturels), se sont repliés sur l'apologie et l'imitation, surtout des économistes. Ils auraient dû, tout au contraire, soutenir la thèse que, d'un point de vue à la fois théorique et méthodologique, ce sont les économistes qui devraient se transformer en économistes historiens. Quelques suggestions pratiques sont avancées pour constituer les bases méthodologiques d'une telle orientation. [eng] A theory of economic history in place of economic theory ?. . Economic historians have responded to their academic marginality (fully accepted neither by economists nor by politico-cultural historians) by an apologetic and imitative stance, particularly vis-a-vis economists. On the contrary, thery should assert that, both theoretically and methodologically, all of economies should become economie history. A number of specific guidelines are suggested.
