Query re JR Hicks

[Eugene Coyle <eugenecoyle@xxxxxxx>]

In a 1990 article in Scientific American, Brian Arthur says:

    "Moveover, if one or a few firms came to dominate a market, the
assumption that no firm is large enough to affect market prices on its
own (which makes economic problems easy to analyze) would also
collapse.  When John R. Hicks surveyed these possibilities in 1939 he
drew back in alarm.  'The threatened wreckage,' he wrote, 'is that of
the greater part of economic theory."

    Arthur gives the date, 1939, in that passage, but does not provide a
cite for the Hicks' quoted remark.

Anybody know where I should look for this?

Thanks.
