credited with creating the modern theory of increasing returns?
This article by
Paul Krugman seems to suggest otherwise:
http://www.slate.com/id/1928/ He cites several examples of how increasing returns was already known about and studied at the time. How should we reconcile such information? —

After looking into the issue more closely, even
Kenneth Arrow, the person who wrote
the foreward that is used as the citation for this statement, does not say he credits him for creating the modern theory of increasing returns (reading the foreward, I don't see where it really appears to credit him either), but he does defend Arthur by saying he was definitely influential. See this link for Arrow's response (including those of others) to the article I mentioned above:
http://www.slate.com/id/2485/. I think we should probably instead just change the statement to say Arthur "influenced the modern theory of increasing returns." —

Adding a YouTube playlist with all lectures on YouTube as external link?
What about making a YouTube playlist of all Brians longer lectures or talks? As one external link? I find it hard to find these videos because there are so many with low view count. But YouTube recommendation engine keeps serving them from the algorithmic deep time after time.
