====================== HES POSTING ================== 
 
Rich's reference to Barber's work prompted me to recall that the winter 
1997 Daedalus (American Academic Culture in Transformation:Fifty Years, 
Four Disciplines) has three articles which MAY be of some use/interest 
(RE: History of American economic thought).  They are: 
 
R.M. Solow, "How Did Economics Get That Way and What Way Did it Get?" 
 
D. M. Kreps, "Economics--The Current Position" 
 
W. J. Barber, "Reconfigurations in American Academic Economics: A 
General Practitioners Perspective" 
 
(BTW, the other disciplines discussed within this volume are 
philosophy, literature and political science.)
