The "1776" in the original question should have been "1876".  That  
is quite right.   
 
The question was asked in a moment of idle rumination, and  
without sufficient attention.  As I have become aware of the early  
use of the term, however, I have also become aware that the  
meaning that has been attached to the term has changed.  Would  
it have been Derrida who would have written the history of  
economics by uncovering the effective contextualization of the term  
in different periods?
