----------------- HES POSTING -----------------
I have a memory that in one of Schumpeter's works he notes that
Wieser or Bohm-Bawerk commented to him to the effect that
"science progresses by the old professors dying off." Can anyone
help me find the source of this statement?
I might add that Kuhn notes that Max Planck said "a new scientific
truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making
them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die,
and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it" (as quoted in
Marsden, _Fundamentalism and American Culture_, p. 215), but I
am still quite sure I ran across the statement in the first paragraph
in Schumpeter's writings.
Thanks for your help!
