Durkheim's sociology, Simiand's positive political economy and the German historical school

Abstract

During the nineteenth century, French political economy eluded the historical method. In the light of such context, the way Emile Durkheim and Francois Simiand interpreted the contribution of the German historical school is worth considering. Following Durkheim's sociological approach, Simiand occupies center stage when it comes to examining how much this historical method has to offer to 'positive political economy' considered as an alternative to 'orthodox political economy' and to the new conception of economic history which was finding its way through the Annales' school.
