====================== HES POSTING ====================== With respect to the discussion of Whig interpretations of the history of economics: the history of economics is history, not economics, and historians, primarily intellectual historians have had much to say about interpretations of history, especially in recent times. For a far broader and, I think, more penetrating discussion of the subject than we have undertaken here, I recommend P.H. Hutton, HISTORY AS AN ART OF MEMORY, University Press of New England, 1993.
