----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- For a survey of Welfare Economics, what comes immediately to mind is E.J. Mishan's "Survey of Welfare Economics, 1939-59" in the American Econ. Assoc/Royal Economic Society sponsored _Surveys of Economic Theory_ , Vol. I. The first edition was published in 1965, by Macmillan. Mishan's survey essay should provide a starting point for tracing back pre-1939 developments.
