Description

A strange and anonymous pamphlet was published in 1740 and the ensuing quest to determine its authorship has, centuries later, given rise to a fascinating sequence of events. The protagonists are two celebrated economists - Keynes and Sraffa - as is David Hume, who is discovered to be the nameless author of the pamphlet. The episode isreconstructed here.
