----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- Scott- Sorry if this has already been recommended, but you should take a look at _The New Palgrave: A Dictionary of Economics_. Also, and this may not be well-known (not only to you but to others on this list who might be interested), the _New Palgrave_ specific issue on _Capital Theory_ contains an entry that did not make it into the original _*New* Palgrave_. That entry is called "Quantity of Capital" and is authored by Pierangelo Garegnani. It is a 78 or so page entry that is a very important piece of work on issues that are relevant to your interests. There are also other important entries on "Debates in capital theory," on Austrian capital theory (e.g. "Roundabout methods of production"), lots related to the capital controversies (reswitching, reverse capital deepening, and more), a very classic piece on the "Humbug Production function" (for those not familiar with Shaikh's original articles), and a good piece by Harald Hagemann on the "Internal rate of return" that Scott might find interesting especially for the issue of the "truncation theorem." In addition to the entries themselves, Scott (and others) might find the bibliographies helpful.
