Checking the talk page
[edit]- Guiding questions
- Economic history is the application of economic theories to historical study.
That would be described as historical economics. The Economic History I'm familiar with is simply the historical study of economic activity - production, trade, growth and decline of industries, government policy etc. The history of economic theories may be dealt with, but this isn't the same at all.
