Abstract
It is well known that the concept of "force", if based on "interaction",
becomes problematic when applied to "inertia". I review some well
known historical arguments (Newton, Mach), move to some slightly
less well known contributions (Neumann, Lange, Thomson, Tait,
the Friedlaender brothers), and discuss the situation that we now face
in general relativity.
