================= HES POSTING ======================== I don't know if this list would regard my query as trivial, but I wonder with whom the expression "thinking like an economist" originated? (Other versions, of course, include "the economic way of thinking".) At least in the social sciences, it seems to be unique. I am not, of course, asking what the phrase entails. _________________________________________________________ C.N.Gomersall [log in to unmask] http://econ-www.newcastle.edu.au/economics/nick/nick.html _________________________________________________________ "Charles II once invited the members of the Royal Society to explain to him why a dead fish weighs more than the same fish alive; a number of subtle explanations were offered to him.
