----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- In response to Julien Vincent's query about Marshall's reluctance to use the expression "industrial revolution," I would comment that Marshall generally did not believe in sudden "revolutions" but in slow gradual evolutionary change. This is especially obvious in his writings on technology and echnological change. See my "Biological Theory and Technological Entrepreneurship in [Alfred] Marshall's Writings," Eastern Economic Journal, 8 (January 1982):3-13. ------------ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ------------ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
