Subject: CAMREC: [Fwd: a problem with economics]

Sent to me by a collaborator:

" ... one great mystery of the field [economics] is how rapidly and
totally its dissenters have vanished. One step beyond the mainstream in
economics, evidently, there lies an intellectual Bermuda Triangle where
voyages of thought disappear without a trace. Some of the missing have
turned up on other shores ... But word of their survival rarely makes it
back to their native discipline." p149 Frank Ackerman "Foundations of
Economic Theories of Consumption" in Goodwin,N.R. Ackerman, F. & Kiron,
D. (1995) The Consumer Society. Island Press,Washington.

regards,
Scott Moss
