Abstract

Through the review of Schumpeter's research ideas on the history of economic analysis, this paper defines the theories and methods in the historical evolution of scientific economics, as well as the ideological bias infiltrated into the "scientific model" of economics, and puts forward that in addition to the basic historical methods and comparative methods, the research methods of the history of science should also be fully used for reference. This paper also summarizes Schumpeter's 'influence' and 'prejudice' on Marx's ideology and makes a discussion. This paper makes a systematic analysis of Schumpeter's basic views on the relationship between economic science and ideology.
