Dear SHOE list:

I got the following 2 questions from Paul Rubin. Any takers?
Question:  When was "competition" first used in economics.  Harder 
question: Why is the economy called "competitive" when it is actually 
cooperative?
Please answer to the list, and I'll forward the consensus answers (if 
they emerge) to him.
