===================== HES POSTING ===================
In the Italian economic literature of the first two decades of this
century the term "neoclassical" was used by some scholars seeing
themselves as members of the "equilibrium school" (i.e. Walras's and
Pareto's followers) in order to refer to Marshallian economics (and
Marshall's followers). Marshall war regarded as a neo-classical because
of his analysis of long-period equilibrium and because of the famous
Appendix on Ricardo in his *Principles*. The term, of course, implied a
dismissive attitude.
It would be interesting to know if even in the English literature, as I
suspect, the term had the same origin.
