I hope it is worth repeating that the best history of micro theory
I've ever read is in chapter 1 of Pasinetti's Structural Change and
Economic Growth: A Theoretical Essay on the Dynamics of the Wealth of
Nations. He puts paid to Samuelson's maximization of a function as
the essence of economics.

Thanks to Max and others about this book. Subsequently I've learned
that it is a pro-market reading. I don't want that for my students,
but rather something which encourages them to think. "The Ordinary
Business of Life" is good enough for that purpose as it is not
dogmatic. Still, I wish I could add more spice and make the subject
of economic thought more readable.
Which Foley book do you mean, "Adams' Fallacy: A Guide to Economic
Theology"? I didn't even know of it.
By the way, have a spare copy of "Frontiers of Econometrics"? :-)
No. Sorry, Paul
