WilliamPetty, who happens to be my nominee for greatest economist of all time. In a way, I could also credit it to the period of production theorists John Rae, Nassau Senior, William Stanley Jevons and Eugen von Boehm Bawerk. They need only to have considered human and total capital as explained by Petty t
t cherry-picked to support Mill’s idea. They are all | have found. My source for national accounts including market-valued capital was the website of Thomas Piketty and Gabriel Zucman adjusting their data to uniform accounting standards and measuring them in 2010 currency units. It also collects recent and past r
in the 1920s and reorganized them along Keynesian lines when the General Theory was published, reconstructed them back to 1870 for the U.S. economy. Piketty and Zucman incorporate this research and others. They have acted as editors only. As a layman, I would hardly be qualified to find and interpret orig

Chapter 4 mentioned John Rae as a contributor to what later developed into Mill’s free growth theory. Rae’s book, published in 1834, also begins what was called period of product
estment. My charts and tables will never be exact. There are inevitably errors and judgment biases in the national accounts and research assembled by Piketty and Zucman, more added by them, and more by me. These cautions will apply to later chapters as well. Chapter 4 Mill’s Idea 1/11/16 28 HOUSE_OVERSI
intellectual equals. Mill seems a clear second, thanks to his superb paragraph on growth. The candidates for third seem well behind. Maybe Jevons or John Rae or Leon Walras. Time has not been kind to the teachings of Keynes. I would now rank his teacher Alfred Marshall higher. I like Myrdal’s magnificent e
me. But my prescription is opposite. Reconceive it from scratch, and teach it right. Award Nobel prizes to those who help. My first nominees would be Piketty and Zucman. Not that I think much of Piketty’s arguments. But his website with Zucman is as powerful a new resource for scholarship and the database
