Talk:James Steuart (economist)

message: Unclear text (translated?)
I have taken out the following lines 
The German economists examined Steuart's treatise, especially in relation to the theory of value and the subject of population. They pointed out that he dwelt on the special characters which distinguish the economies proper to different nations and different grades in social progress. Hegel read it at a formative time.
It is not clear what it means and there is no source for the claim in the last sentence.
In the remaining text there is also a reference missing for the statement that Adam Smith thought that Steuart's "conversation was better than his book".
I have included some biographical info from the New School HET website, and added sources.Robertsch55 (talk) 11:27, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

message: James Denham-Steuart should be the secondary name under the main title — Preceding unsigned comment added by Overagainst (talk • contribs) 
: ODNB leads with Steuart [later Steuart Denham], Sir James, of Coltness and Westshield; his son appears to have used Steuart in Scotland and Denham in England. If Steuart-Denham, with the hyphen, is wrong (and few sources seem to use it), we should not either. For a list of sources on him and his son, see here. I leave this for discussion; if I see none, I will move. 
:In the long run, it may be best to call him Steuart, as his collected works, and much of the literature, do - or to disambiguate with one of the baronetcies; he is one of five generations of his family called James, and three of them are notable enough for a ODNB article.

replies: text: The struck claim is wrong; there is another, perhaps more serious, problem. There is a disagreement among the sources when, and for whom, the baronetcy he bore most of his life was created; he may be 3rd baronet, as ODNB says; or he may be second, as Complete Baronetage says. Under the circumstances, calling him 3rd Baronet seems in advisable. On the other hand, I see little evidence that his name was James Denham Stuart at any time; he was not descended from the Denhams, and would not ratiomnally expect their estates until be was almost sixty; when he did inherit them, he became Sir James Steuart Denham. A minor, but perplexing difficulty. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:56, 27 August 2011 (UTC)
