Dear Josef,
Many thanks for your letter. This is just a quick
answer before I go to the Post Office. The reference to my "Growth
in the Affluent Society" is L JLoj vj.ew ’ No *163, January
1987, from which it was reprinted in L l o ^ d j> _ B a n k_ A n n u a l _ R e v i. e w
M££— 9 Volume 2 edited by Christopher Johnson,
pp. 151-62.
As to the Eminent Economists, I was glad to see your
excellent piece reprintedrin Roncaglia 1 s volume 1. As to my
contributing to the 2nd volume, the problem is that I have
aawritten a similar piece for a similar volume on The_L.iJi.e_
Ai££££llZ_£——^5!£££££_—££££E££££’ which is supposed to be
published soon by the Cambridge University Press. But I noticed
that Tinbergen has contributed both to your volume and to my
future volume two entirely different and reasonably good and
interesting pieces. So I will think it over whether I can find
'reminiscences’ that don't overlap too much with my 'life
philosophy'.
I am very pleased to learn that you are writing again,
that in itself is a feather in Roncaglia's cap.
With best regards,
Yours ,
