----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- RE: Rosser's query on Gossen. Streissler briefly refers to Gossen in his paper "The Influence of German Economics on the Work of Menger and Marshall" in CARL MENGER AND HIS LEGACY IN ECONOMICS, p. 37. Streissler says that an 1858 book by Julius Kautz is the only place he (Streissler) knows of in the German literature where Gossen is mentioned, and that it was from Kautz' book that Jevons learned of the existence of Gossen's work. Perhaps someone else on the list can answer your query more directly. Bruce Caldwell ------------ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ------------ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
