I wish to acknowledge the invaluable assistance of Williamson M. Evers, Joe Fuhrig, and Don Lavoie in working out the themes of this paper and leading me to crucial supporting references. Tyler Cowen, David Friedman, Marshall Fritz, M. L. Rantala, David Ramsay Steele, Richard H. Timberlake, Jr., David J. Theroux, and Lawrence H. White all gave helpful comments on drafts. They do not necessarily share my conclusions, however, and I alone am responsible for any remaining errors. Aversion of this paper was first delivered at the annual meeting of the Western Economic Association in San Francisco in July, 1986.
