====================== HES POSTING ======================
Thank you, Greg, for sharing your personal epiphany about
the value of archival work and "more research". The
believing is, perhaps, in the seeing? I would never have
been so concerned about the questions of Whig history
(etc. etc.) that we discuss here if I had not gotten
into archives and started seeing just how distorted the
arguments around Keynes's work can be. I was enticed
into looking by Sue Howson, Don Winch, Peter Clarke and
a host of other scholars who had been there first and raised
questions for me in their writing. But the epiphany comes
when one starts making new discoveries and seeing dimensions
to theoretical arguments that were hidden from view.
Thank you, again, for your affirmation that we can do
better history.
