Mat,  
  
I do not think that Don Lavoie ever wrote that Lange  
should have a statue in a stock exchange. I have read  
Rivalry and Central planning carefully and Lavoie  
wrote nothing like that there. I read his other book  
more quickly, but did not notice any such thing. I  
also took Don's class the last time he taught it, and  
he had nothing nice to say about Lange or any of the  
market socialists. Don had a high opinion of Marx. He  
was also quite clear that he thought that Lange and  
the other market socialists had no clue about economic  
calculation.  
  
I have suggested that there should be a statue to  
Lange in the NYSE and the Chicago Board of Trade.  The  
full quote is-  
  
"As an expression of recognition for this service  
statues of Professor Lange ought to occupy honorable  
places in the New York Stock exchange and the Chicago  
Board of Trade."  
  
This is from a footnote in a paper I have under  
review, where I argue that Lange stumbled into  
agreeing with Mises. I can send you a copy.
