In Harold Hotelling’s papers I came across a typed manuscript for two lectures held by John Hicks on Welfare Economics that can be dated to ca. 1954. That manuscript is located at Duke University, David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library. Economists’ Papers Archives. Papers of Harold Hotelling, Box 46, Folder “Lectures (2)”.
It turns out the same manuscript was found by Tatsuro Kanai in the Hicks Papers maintained by the Library and Academic Information Centre, Kobe Gakuentoshi Campus at the University of Hyogo. Kanai published transcriptions in the journal History of Economic Thought of the Japanese Society for the History of Economic Thought. But for all of us, it can’t hurt to link to the lectures here.
