First sentence: It is well known and documented (Winch,1970; Schumpeter, 1959) that the third quarter of the eighteenth century marks perhaps the most important period in the history of economic thought, since it is at the end of this period that economics emerged as a separate and new science (cf. Shackle, 1967, p. 2.).
