I've never met Deirdre Mcloskey, but she taught me how to write and research. Her Economic History papers are even better than the methodology ones that made her famous.
Reading Deirdre's blog I had the surprise of finding a question posed by Duílio. He wants to know the reference of the following Deirdre's quote:
"Replete of prices and profits, acres and hand, economic science is the most measurable of all social sciences”.
What a amazing quote! Deirdre did not provide the answer and told Duílio to look for it in her on-line papers.I suspect that there is a non-zero probability that, in fact, Duílio wrote it, but it would be great if somebody could help him find it.
Update: Deirdre's blog is not working today (2nd October). Not my fault, hopefully.

Bacana o post, mas não consigo entrar na página do blog da McCloskey. Está funcionando?
Valeu pelo aviso.
Dei azar. Hoje de manhã funcionava...
