2 Baumol, William J. is a marginal case. While not, perhaps, a recognized historian of economics he has published a number of valuable historical articles and a section on the history of economics in his latest textbook, Microtheory: Applications and Origins (Boston: MIT Press, 1986) (I owe this reference to the editor of the Bulletin.)Google Scholar
