----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- Dear Colleagues, I am a Belgian philosopher looking for references or developments on two ideas in the history of economics (before 20th century). These two ideas are the one of a social debt (Rousseau, Bourgeois,...) and the nature and justification of our intergenerational obligations. Any help on where to look would be appreciated. Many thanks in advance, Axel Gosseries ------------ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ------------ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
