Abstract
That phonons do not affect the Pauli spin susceptibility seems to be a standard, well-accepted result. Since the recent suggestion by Enz and Matthias that phonons might play a decisive role in the ferromagnetism of ZrZn2, this question has been "reopened". We review both the old and new work on this problem and try to clarify the present situation.
