编写一本经济思想史的著作,阐述一下200多年来经济学发展的思想脉络,这是一项最容易的工作,也是一项最不容易的工作。说它容易,因为前面已有无数前辈高人编写过类似著作,后人只要补充一些细节就行了。可是,真正想在思想史研究上有所突破就必须要对历史材料有所取舍,建立自己独特的历史观——这是一项真正困难的工作。 Writing a book on the history of economic thought and elaborating on the thinking of economic development over the past 200 years is the easiest and most difficult task. Said it easy, because in front of countless predecessors have prepared a similar book, as long as the posterity to add some details on the line. However, if we really want to make breakthroughs in the study of the history of ideas, we must make some choices about historical materials and establish our own unique historical viewpoints - a really difficult task.
