Po co nam historia myśli ekonomicznej?
What Is the History of Economics For?

Summary/Abstract: The article attempts to answer two questions. The first one is contained in its title. The second one - closely connected with the former - concerns the causes of the degradation of the role the history of economics plays in economic education. The author believes that the role of the history of economics in economic research and teaching will depend on both the researchers acting in this discipline and the rest of economic circles. The first ones should constantly ask themselves how the historical education should look out in the contemporary world: what should be lectured, in which way and with which means. The second ones should sincerely accept the thesis that the past, presence and future overlap in economic sciences, and the role of history in economic sciences is entirely different than in such sciences as physics or chemistry.
