经济史学具有求真、求解和求用三大功能。充分发挥经济史学的“三求”功能,要求经济史学者必须具备三项知识素养:史料考证、统计分析和理论分析。当前我国的学科设置,难以培养出同时具备三项知识素养的经济史学者,这就阻碍了中国经济史学的大发展。破解经济史学发展障碍的有效办法就是重新调整学科定位,按照功能需要向经济史学者提供必须的学术训练,培养出能够发挥经济史学功能的学者,从而解除经济史学的发展障碍。 Economic history has the truth-seeking, solving and seeking three functions. Give full play to the economic history of the “three demands” function, requiring economic history scholars must have three knowledge literacy: textual research, statistical analysis and theoretical analysis. At present, the disciplinary setup in our country makes it difficult to cultivate economic historians who possess three knowledge literatures at the same time, which hinders the great development of China’s economic history. The effective solution to the obstacles in the development of economic historiography is to readjust the subject orientation, provide necessary academic training to economic historians according to their functional needs, and cultivate scholars capable of giving full play to their economic historiography functions so as to relieve the obstacles in the development of economic history.
