====================== HES POSTING ====================== Thank you, Greg, for sharing your personal epiphany about the value of archival work and "more research". The believing is, perhaps, in the seeing? I would never have been so concerned about the questions of Whig history (etc. etc.) that we discuss here if I had not gotten into archives and started seeing just how distorted the arguments around Keynes's work can be. I was enticed into looking by Sue Howson, Don Winch, Peter Clarke and a host of other scholars who had been there first and raised questions for me in their writing. But the epiphany comes when one starts making new discoveries and seeing dimensions to theoretical arguments that were hidden from view. Thank you, again, for your affirmation that we can do better history.
