This dimension names the school of economic thought that shaped how an event was understood or responded to at the time. Wikipedia notes that scholars "may approach their analysis from the perspective of different schools of economic thought, such as mainstream economics, Austrian economics, Marxian economics, the Chicago school of economics, and Keynesian economics." Browsing this way collects every event understood through the same school of thought.
