Re: Case solved, at last!

Bruce:  It's no use!  Gunnar's earlier assertion about "the maximizing
attributes of Homo Economicus which underlies all of Economic Science"
gave the game away.  If you accept this silly premise about the basis
for *all* economics, then you're justified in going back and fixing up
the work of predecessor economists.  There's no way to jog Gunnar out of

this tautological thinking, and I think for everyone else the issues are

clear.  Best, Colin
