Abstract
Almost 50 years ago Schumpeter’s History of Economic Analysis was published. What Schumpeter sought to do in that book was to turn the attention of economists from viewing their discipline through the various ‘prescription lenses’ of specific schools of thought to a more catholic perception of what a science of economics ought to offer. It was a very brave, if also perhaps a bit foolhardy, thing for a young man to undertake. My question in this essay goes to assessing his effort.
