====================== HES POSTING ===================
[NOTE: Despite Matthew F.'s request that we send posting about Japanese
economic thought to his student directly, I thought that some subscribers
might be interested in the bibliographic notices. When Robert Dimand sent
me his response privately, I asked him to post it to the list. If others
respond,
please send your response to the list as well as to Matthew's student.
Also,
because this was a student request for bibliographic help, I have added
Matthew's question and Robert's response to the log of questions through
the "ASK THE PROFESSOR" button on our website. The log of FAQs is slowly
growing, and you can check them out at
http://www.augustana.ab.ca/~emmer/ask_the_prof.html. Other responses to
this query that are posted to the list or to me privately will be added to
Robert's
response. -- RBE]
