==================== HES POSTING ====================== 
 
My understanding of the issues of formalism, and the relation of 
the work of Mises to at least one of those mentioned in my post -- Hayek, 
is at least partially and provisionally found in the recent HES 
conference paper "The Significance of Myth and Misunderstanding in 
Social Science Narrative:  Opening Access to Friedrich Hayek's 
Copernican Revolution in Economics" which is available on the internet 
at my WEB site at:

I must warn that the arguments there are at a very high and 
abstract level, without the detail and historical background that 
are really required for a broad audience.  Some have found the 
analysis there to be exceptional, others have found it rather heavy 
going. 
 
 
I find it terribly helpful to overhear references to 
papers and books of direct relevance to my own research 
efforts during ongoing conversations on the internet, 
so I regularly include bibliographical material in large 
measure for the chance benefit of those 'lurking in' 
on ongoing discussions. 
 
As further bibliography for the current conversation, 
I might add:
