====================== HES POSTING ====================== 
 
Thank you, Greg, for sharing your personal epiphany about 
the value of archival work and "more research". The 
believing is, perhaps, in the seeing? I would never have 
been so concerned about the questions of Whig history 
(etc. etc.) that we discuss here if I had not gotten 
into archives and started seeing just how distorted the 
arguments around Keynes's work can be. I was enticed 
into looking by Sue Howson, Don Winch, Peter Clarke and 
a host of other scholars who had been there first and raised 
questions for me in their writing. But the epiphany comes 
when one starts making new discoveries and seeing dimensions 
to theoretical arguments that were hidden from view. 
 
Thank you, again, for your affirmation that we can do 
better history.
