Michael,
People you mention people in the William Petty piece who interested
me, because of your mentioning them. But who are they? Start with
Zhang, et.al. 2007. I assume that you have a bibliography but it is
not attached to what you posted.
Samuel Hartlib is another -- identified as Petty's promoter (where
and how? And who is he on his own?) and then later "...Hartlib's
musings about information might seem quite modern in light of the
Internet ..."
What were his musings? This is what I meant -- the reader hears an
intrigueing bit but is left dangling. Again, you might have cleared
this up in an earlier section but without that the reader is lost.
Thanks for the new post, with the sentence from the intro and then the
first sentence of the book. Good stuff.

Gene, please tell me which ones. Thanks.
I assume that context is situated in a longer version -- but it is
frustrating and/or confusing in the PEN-L versions. Having, only
yesterday, (1960s & '70s) crammed my brain with welfare economics
and micro, I now see Stigler et.al. as cartoons, a la Guiliani. No
longer interested in cartoons.
