Abstract

A review essay on Charles Robert McCann, Jr., Ed. The Elgar Dictionary of Economic Quotations, Northampton, MA: Edward Elgar, 2003, pp. xi, 315. $150.00.Charles McCann believes that a Dictionary of Quotations is a repository of statements on which writers and debaters can rely for accuracy: Not only to avoid misstatement and erroneous attribution, but also misperception of original context. (What is an alternative motivation? To show the brilliance of economists? Or their facility with words?) Of course, one could search original sources but it is more efficient, time wise, to have a sourcebook of passages, perhaps especially one arranged overall alphabetically by author and for each author by topic.
