Hi Prof Perelman

Though Ripley is best known for his railroad economics
and 'racial' theories, he also contributed to corporate
finance --> Morgan Wetzel wrote a chapter dealing with 
Jenks, Meade and Ripley in vol. II of my 'Pioneers
of Financial Economics' (Poitras and Jovanovic (eds.) 
Elgar 2007) ... I recall Morgan was
also working on book on corporate finance around the 
beginning of the 20th century that contains additional
work on Ripley ... 

cheers ... GP
