 HES: QUERY -- "strategy" in Ragnar Frisch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
My only connection so far is from Pigou on "bilateral monopoly," which Zeuthen cites in a footnote in 1930, although without mention of "strategic," and Frisch, who very probably had read everything of Pigou's, never cited this article or Zeuthen's reference to it.
Let me add that while Frisch's meaning of "strategic" is not (I think) quite clear, there is no sign he owed the word to anyone in the Vienna Circle.
Can anyone of you enlighten me as to the source from which he did draw the word, or suggest any evidence that it was his own brainstorm to use it?
