================= HES POSTING ========================
I don't know if this list would regard my query as trivial, but I wonder
with whom the expression "thinking like an economist" originated? (Other
versions, of course, include "the economic way of thinking".) At least in
the social sciences, it seems to be unique.
I am not, of course, asking what the phrase entails.

the same fish alive; a number of subtle explanations were
