----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- 
 
I was a student of Kenneth Boulding's in the late 1980s at GMU and  
had him for a course in Great Books in Political Economy.  In addition,  
my fellow student David Prychitko and I spent a tremendous amount of  
informal time with Boulding -- going to lunch and meeting with him in  
his townhouse etc.  And Prychitko and I talked to him about this.  He  
just argued that Knight was conducting his course and complaining  
about the Austrians, etc. and Boulding wrote up this paper in his class  
dealing with Fisher and the Austrians on time, etc. and Knight decided  
to write a comment and publish it _before_ Boulding's paper even  
circulated to journals.  On the basis of Knight's paper, Boulding said  
his career was made and as a result he did not finish his PhD in  
economics and instead started his academic career.   
 
Prychitko and I have a paper written originally for a Spanish language  
journal for a special issue honoring Boulding after his death and later  
published in Larry Moss's book with Routledge which is entitled "Mr  
Boulding and the Austrians."

I look forward to Ross's insights on the details from Knight's side.
