======================= HES POSTING ================= I have it on good authority [which I cannot remember at the present moment] that the term "Neoclassical" was used first by T.B. Veblen in one of his essays on the nature of Economic Science [reference to which I do not have ready to hand]. Veblen was much exercized to show that the marginalist economists had not improved on the pre-marginalists from the point of view of economics as a science, so I think it most probably the case that he introduced the term.
