I talked to Marcello de Cecco about this in 1990-1992; he wrote his CJE article in, when, 1978? I'll go reread it, and then I'll e-mail him and ask him if (and when) he changed his mind...

I'll also take Kindleberger over Milward any day. Smarter. Wider read. More interested in telling the story wie es eigentlich gewesen. I'll go reread Kindleberger. I don't think rereading Milward would help: I taught him last May, and I finished the class damning him to hell for gaps in logic and sleezy use of evidence...
