This paper wants to discuss relationship between the fact and value. Leading current study in economics is positive, so I want to ask the question is how to separate value from fact in economics study ? Through investigate the evolution of economics thought, just like Smith ,Mill ,Marx ,Hayek ,Veblen ,Friedman and Robbins, This separation is failure. Value free in Weber or towards the thing themselves in Husserl is wrong in economics study. Difference of the people in economic problem is not from positive study but value judgments. Exceed the positive, return to value system is significant and mind for economics study. If economics want to ask to people get happiness from understanding the selection, return to value is necessary, and Morality is mind of economics value. Problem is the conflict between fact and value ,because economist want to separate value from fact. Manifestation is Marxism and Liberalism, Historical school and Austrian School , Early stage of Systemism and new Classical School. So the value is multiple, human's reason has limit. Tolerance is important for economics study. Others we must know that besides the wealth, there are justice, fair and kind-hearted limit everyone, this is significance of economics. This is the real economics of Smith and Mill. This paper wants to this return. The return is not enlightenment time economics study, but let the value back to economics study. Because anyone can not live without value.
