----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- This might be somewhat related to your question. In the papers of Schumpeter at Harvard University's archive, I found a 1947 report from the American Economic Association's Committee on Classification in which they suggest new classifications in economics, such as creating a new category of international economics, putting the study of systems into economic theory, etc. The AEA may have had earlier discussions of such topics, as well as more specific discussions of library catalogs.
