Does anyone know the origin of the term "neo-classical" economics?   
A student in my History of Economic Thought class asked me last week: 
"if the two theories are so different (classical and neo-classical), why 
is the later one called 'neo-classical'?  Why isn't it called something 
completely different.  It is an interesting question and I 
can't remember where the term originated.  Can anybody help me? 
 
Thanks in advance.
