Description:
Historical economics, drawing on history, politics, cultural anthropology, sociology, and geography, bridges the gap between abstraction and fact engendered by traditional conceptions of economic science.

Economists and historians, both the converted and the unconvinced, will want to consult this powerful argument for the importance of historical economics.
