Features: When we study the development of past economic theories, we can often draw inspiration from previous research and doctrines. Economic theories are merely the results of understanding socio-economic realities or historical relationships, and as ideology, they reflect social existence. The laws of objective economic reality naturally manifest themselves in the development of economic theories as certain regularities. Therefore, studying the history of economic theories not only helps us gain existing experience and beneficial insights from predecessors but also enables us to recognize the laws and characteristics of the development of economic theories. And the laws and characteristics of economic theory development are specific manifestations of the laws and characteristics of human cognitive evolution.
