----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- Richard Kahn visited America in 1932-33. He wrote two letters to Keynes during this period. I would be most grateful for any information about this visit. 1. is there any secondary literature about this visit or reflections on the 1932 AEA meeting in Cincinnati? Kahn wrote that "the dead hand of Kemmerer hung heavy on most of the proceedings" 2. are there any other letters etc? 3. Kahn referred to someone as "bric-a-brac" in one of the letters. Does anyone know who this is? 4. In 1932 Kahn wrote an essay on 'imperfect competition and the marginal principle' which the QJE rejected. Was this ever published? Any information will be gratefully received. Robert Leeson Murdoch University ------------ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ------------ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
