================= 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.
