Keith, in <http://www.tbtf.com/archive/01-12-98.html>, you mention the
New Yorker article by David Cassidy describing Brian Arthur's
intellectual struggle to establish increasing returns. You need to read
Paul Krugman's ridiculously entertaining trashing of the idea that
Arthur was any kind of intellectual innovator.

After you read the article, be sure to read Krugman's short
increasing-returns chronology
