Abstract

Much of the work of economists is concerned with the future, withforecasts and planning But forecasts are trivial and planning Is useless unless they are based on fact: and facts which are at our disposal arefacts of the past ... The purpose of analysis, applied tothose facts is theexplanation of what has happened-the explanation that is, of economic history.... So even if our business is with forecasts of what is likely to happen or with probable results historical analysis comes first
