delayed in reaching the list, but will hopefully be sent sometime in the  
next couple of days.--RBE] 
 
Wieser, oh yes... Thanks to JP Schulz and Kiichiro Yagi for refreshing my 
memory. Following the link kindly sent by the author, I downloaded and read 
Kiichiro Yagi's very interesting paper on Wieser's "anonymous history of 
the mass". It can be found on 
http://www.econ.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~yagi/recentworks.html. 
 
IMHO Tolstoy's place in the history of economic thought goes a little 
beyond indirect intellectual influences like that on Wieser. There are 
passages in *War and Peace* which sound rather Jevonian or Walrasian! 
However, the ideas I am referring to were really in the air in 1860s...

Yuri Tulupenko 
 
P.S. I failed to introduce myself in my first posting - I teach history of 
economic thought at Herzen University, St. Petersburg, Russia. My research 
interest is in "incidental" pieces of economics in the writings of 
non-economists (not necessarily Tolstoy!)
