I don't see how you can claim it not to be abstract.
History is not a science at all. It tends to give some understanding but not without being placed in context. Too many mistakes are made by generalizing history and attempting to use it as a predictor of the future.
Too many mistakes are made by people who ignore history and act like they know what they're doing.
And there is disagreement among economists because we have been infiltrated by liberal. That is all.
