Folks,
The person who first drew a supply and demand diagram with P on the
vertical axis was Karl Heinrich Rau, not "Johannes" Rau, as I mistakenly
wrote earlier. It was in the second edition of his Grundzatze der
Volkwirthschastlehre, published in 1841 (first edition, 1826).
He was one of the German "proto-neoclassicals." A good source on them
is Erich W. Streissler, "Rau, Hermann and Roscher: contributions of
German economics around the middle of the nineteenth century," European
Journal of the History of Economic Thought, September 2001, vol. 8,
issue 3, pp. 311-331.
Sorry about the incorrect first name.
Barkley Rosser
