====================== HES POSTING =================== 
 
A colleague recently asked me is F.W. Taylor was a marginalist. 
 
My response at first was no, but on second reflection I've wondered if  
Taylor's efficiency studies were not an approach to the division of labour  
that is fundamentally sypathetic to marginalism. 
 
Any comments or suggestions for studies of Taylor that link him to  
marginalism?
