----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- A retired economics professor recently asked the following questions, which I thought would stimulate some discussion on this list!: (1) Are there any worthwhile or outstanding or recognized Institutionalists such as Clarence Ayers or Thorstein Veblen today? If so, who are they and where are they and what have they written? (2) Why has Institutionalism fallen out of favor?
