----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- I think that all scientists of the world use the same methods. So I was suprised by the lecture of Mr. Young who wrote: "There was no economic science before the second half of the eighteenth century, for men thought of the natural economic order of society as resting upon principles that were non-economic." Also, in early messages on this tread I have read many tips about the origin of "economist" but none of these had made references to ancient texts. All uses very modern references of other modern thoughts. Gregory Zorzos ------------ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ------------ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
