====================== HES POSTING ====================== [Apologies from the moderator for the double posting of Greg Ransom's previous message. My computer outsmarted me. --E-MS] Among other research projects I pursued in the archives at Hoover was a lead found in Fritz Machlup's 1935 essay on Knight and capital theory. Machlup mentions a series of letters on capital theory and the problem of the period of production between himself and Marschak, Mises, Hayek, and Haberler. This turns out to be a survey questionaire sent out by Machlup on the problem, with letters of response from all of the aforementioned, and a summary final report to all correspondents by Machlup. All of this original correspondence is found in German in the Fritz Machlup collection at the Hoover Institution. As far as I am aware this material has not been published or translated. It would make I should think, a dandy research project for a graduate student.
