This approach helps to minimize both the number of citations and the possibility of misrepresenting any individual's opinions. It's also a method of setting up a scarecrow in order to knock it down. I've hit upon a better method for some of my work: I refer to "textbook economics," referring to a specifically-defined set of textbooks. -- Jim Devine / "Nobody told me there'd be days like these / Strange days indeed -- most peculiar, mama." -- JL. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
