"Great economists misinterpreted", so maintained Takashi Negishi in his presidential address of the Econometric Society, 1993. He showed how rich was the historical development of economics even from the eyes of a modern theoretical theoretician. A group of historians of economics examine Negishi's works in the history of economics and wish to proceed further. Kiichiro Yagi (Kyoto University, Japan). "Takashi Negishi has played a vital role in bridging the modern divide between economists and historians of economics. He has created a path for non-historians of economists, especially economic theorists, to enter a study of the history of economics, particularly on the topics of classical economics, Marxian economics, neo-classical economics and Keynesian economics," E. Roy Weintraub (Former President of the History of Economics Society)
