========================= HES POSTING ================== 
 
Dear colleagues, 
 
Does anyone know when the term "utility" was first used in economics? Did its  
use over time change (especially in the 19th Century and before (?)), and if  
so, how and why?  
 
I am looking either for references to primary or secondary sources.  
 
Thanks in advance,
