Dear colleagues,
during the last decades several scholars have published surveys of an 
emerging field (economics of language). Most of them consider Marschak's 
1965 paper as the starting point of the field. Nevertheless to take only 
two examples some developpements are to be found in Turgot,  Smith's WN 
and Menger.  Is anybody aware of studies of an history of the topic 
before 1965? (concerning Menger, I did not find many secondary 
literature except  a 1992 paper by Hodgson.
Thanks for any tips
