Thanks for the advice. I am now trying citeulike as suggested, but not
very successful at this as well. I am getting a lot of errors like so,
and then nothing is imported --

 : The great irony is that the U.S. economy in its early years was
built in large part on a lax attitude toward intellectual-property
rights and enforcement. As the historian Doron Ben-Atar shows in his
book "Trade Secrets," the Founders believed that a strict attitude
toward patents and copyright would limit dom

for the U.S. to expand its industrial base. American law did not
protect the rights of foreign inventors or writers, and Secretary of
the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, in his famous "Report on
Manufactures," of 1791, actively advocated the theft of technology and
the luring of skilled workers from foreign countries. Among the
beneficiaries of this was the American textile industry, which
flourished thanks to pirated technology. Free-trade agreements that
export our own restrictive I.P. laws may make the world safe for
Pfizer, Microsoft, and Disney, but they don't deserve the name free
trade.},

time around, it is not Thornton directly, but a work that Thornton
rerferences with great and justified reverence -- Max Weber's 1904
treatise on "Die protestantische Ethik und der 'Geist' des

I got the book today and feel a bit defeated by its density, but do
intend to slog through it to the extent I can. Hopefully he writes as
well as our friend Schumpeter.]},

construction, would have occupied a master craftsman of the guild for
months; now it is built for thirty cents. The world has arrived at an
age of cheap complex devices of great reliability; and something is
bound to come of it.
