Abstract
The work presented in this paper is concerned with the zero moment stability theory of Beatty. We find that while the zero moment condition can be justified as a possible aid in the analysis of certainspecific problems, we also indicate that this condition should not be considered as a general and primitive restriction on stability theory at the foundation level.
