----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- I thank Aiko Ikea for filling in some details from Streissler's paper/presentation that I left out. One mystery to me that was not explained was why Schumpeter was so against these early German economists, a claim that Streissler made rather forcefully. He seems to blame Schumpeter's negative attitude, along with post-World War I anti-German prejudice and linguistic ignorance among English speakers for the forgetting of these people and their role. Given reports of Schumpeter's crypto-pro-Nazi position in World War II, I am surprised to hear of this alleged anti-German prejudice on his part. I presume that this is explained in some of Streissler's other papers. Barkley Rosser ------------ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ------------ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
