======================== HES POSTING =================== Quoting from its parent directory at Prof. Harry Cleaver's homepage: > Chip C. Carriapa, The Political Origins of Neoclassical Economics, Ph.D. > Dissertation. ([log in to unmask]) The full text of this proposal is > available online. The proposal is online at http://www.eco.utexas.edu/Homepages/faculty/Cleaver/chipprop.html and is dated April 1996 (rather late in the process, I judge). Length is 85K, of which the last 45K is a bibliography, especially strong on the Marxian tradition. Some HES subscribers --well, at least one editor-- will appreciate the opening words of section 3: > Herbert Butterfield defines the Whig interpretation of history as "the >tendency in many historians to.....praise revolutions provided they have >been successful, to emphasize certain principles of progress in the past >and to produce a story which is a ratification if not a glorification of >the present."(17) This definition reduces many bourgeois (and some >marxist) scholars to Whigs. > First, on this list is George Stigler. . . . Another PhD dissertation in progress under Prof. Cleaver's direction is Lee Sang-rack, Schumpeter on the Business Cycle: a Political Reading (proposal not online). ----posted by Paul Wendt, Watertown MA HES e-information services, asst.editor ============ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ============ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
