----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- Hal Varian, in the New Palgrave, credits Boulding with the explicit introduction of micro and macro in a textbook. However, in Boulding's _Economic Analysis_ (3rd Edition, 1955) we find the following distinctions: Part I: Supply and Demand Part II: Macroeconomics Part III: Elements of the Marginal Analysis Part IV: More Advanced Studies in Analytical Techniques (indifference maps) Parts III and IV are, of course, microeconomics, but not named explicitly.
