----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- Perhaps the following books might be useful: James Livingston, Pragmatism and the Political Economy of Cultural Revolution, 1850-1940. While Livingston doesn't address psychology and economics at length, he does delve into the implications of marginalism and pragmatism on ideas of the self. Dorothy Ross, The Origins of American Social Science. Christopher Lasch, True and Only Heaven. I lent my copy to a colleague recently, so I can't check this. But Lasch has a little bit of every single bit of 19th- and 20th-century intellectual history in this book. Good luck on the project - it sounds fascinating.
