Dear Colleagues,
  
Just pointing out a typo.

When Professor Ikeo wrote The Society for the History of Economic 
Thought (SHJET), she must have meant The Society for the History of 
_Japanese_Economic Thought (SHJET), as the acronym clearly suggests. 
SHJET is different from The Japanese Society for the History of 
Economic Thought (JSHET).
   
with best,

Masazumi
