HES: Re: ANN:--Letter in support of colleagues in Australia

[Toshiaki Hirai]

Dear Sandra,

I completely agree to your letter, so could you kindly have me in the list?

I believe that historians of economic thought (or theory) are playing an 
important role as a "soaring eagle" in economics. They cover a wide area 
including time, space, which theoretical and applied economists have no time 
due to the "specialisation".
If historians of economic thought were excluded from economics, this means 
the suicidal act for economics as a whole.

I would like to urge the Japan Society for the History of Economic Thought 
to say something.

All the best,

Toshiaki Hirai
