1 From the Introduction to the 1980–81 Calendar, “The Year of Economists,” published by the University of Chicago Press.

2 All individuals included were born after 1700 and before 1899. Economists included are those listed in the 1980–81 Calendar (see footnote 1); all other names were culled from Webster's New World Dictionary, 2nd College Edition, on the assumption that if they were listed here, they must be notable.

3 See, for example, George Eliot's “Middlemarch,” (1871–72) for the description of Dorothea's struggles with political economy; and for a modern novelist's view, see Stephen King's “Salem's Lot,” Part 4, ch. 18 (1975).
