ECONOMIC-HISTORY IN DENMARK

Commenting on other articles in this issue on the present research situation in economic history in Denmark, the author stresses that his book from 1987 starting the debate had a rather narrow national range: It surveyed the Danish literature on economic history since around 1970 in an attempt to evaluate the degree of genuine interdisciplinarity, in a situation characterized by very narrow institutional limits. It is now argued that a research survey for the same two decades with other dimensions of concepts for >>economic history<< - as suggested here especially by Carl-Axel Nilsson -would have given approximately the same picture of the situation.
