================== HES POSTING ======================= 
 
Thanks for your link to Mason Gaffney's work on the corruption of 
economics. Have read it previously and it would be useful to have the 
bibliography. It would be interesting to analyze the transition from 
<b>political economy</b> to <b>economics</b> about the turn of the century. 
Ricardo's well known work PRINCIPLES OF POLITICAL ECONOMY AND TAXATION  was 
followed  by a score of books  by Malthus, J.S. Mill, Fawcett, Rogers, 
Laughlin, Ingram, Walker and many others all using titles such as "Outline 
of Political Economy", "Principles of Political Economy", "History of 
Political Economy",etc. Henry George's Science of Political Economy, 1897 
was completed posthumously by his son. Alfred Marshall's Principles of 
Economics circa 1890 was followed by a general use of this terminology 
(economics) in the 20th Century. Could a gradual change in the definition 
of the discipline explain the transition?
