===================== HES POSTING =================== Correction to the list of sources on the Mill-Whewell debate from Kent Staley. The 1996 book: _Early Mathematical Economics: William Whewell and the British Case_ (Rowman & Littlefield) was authored by James P. Henderson, not Sam Hollander. I'd urge you all to puchase a copy for yourself and your university library, but that might be mistaken for a sales pitch! Jim James P.
