====================== HES POSTING =================== 
 
[NOTE: Despite Matthew F.'s request that we send posting about Japanese 
economic thought to his student directly, I thought that some subscribers 
might be interested in the bibliographic notices. When Robert Dimand sent 
me his response privately, I asked him to post it to the list. If others 
respond, 
please send your response to the list as well as to Matthew's student. 
Also, 
because this was a student request for bibliographic help, I have added 
Matthew's question and Robert's response to the log of questions through 
the "ASK THE PROFESSOR" button on our website. The log of FAQs is slowly 
growing, and you can check them out at 
http://www.augustana.ab.ca/~emmer/ask_the_prof.html. Other responses to 
this query that are posted to the list or to me privately will be added to 
Robert's 
response. -- RBE]
