   Your remark touches upon the relationship between Charles Darwin and the
economists of his time. In school, I learned that Darwin got his economics
from Malthus as a champion of the dismal science, instead of from Adam
Smith. Could it simply be a historical accident? If Darwin had consulted
Smith, the course since then would have been much more different than what
we see today.
