----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- Greg Ransom, writing about A. Smith, noted, in part: >Where else did this empirical problem / causal solution explanatory >structure get so plainly and elequently cast in all of the earlier >economic literature? My answer would be "nowhere". > I am just wondering if he has forgotten about Karl Marx? Does Marx's casting of the empirical problem/causal solution explanatory structure not qualify because it is either not plain enough? or not eloquent enough? or not early enough?
