The History of U.S. Economic Policy, 1600s-2000 
 
The History of U.S. Economic Policy is a unique, 
comprehensive reference work designed to assist 
scholars, students, and the general public in 
understanding a complex subject. The key role that the 
formation and implementation of economic policy has 
played in American history can be traced back to the 
mercantilist system and continues to the present.  The 
strength of the economy often determines the outcome 
of presidential races.  Economic policies impact all 
areas of American life such as the environment, race 
relations, immigration, banking, business, the music 
industry, and foreign policy. 
 
 
This two-volume, illustrated reference work, scheduled 
for publication by ABC-CLIO in 2002, will focus on the 
individuals, events, and legislation connected with 
the development of economic policy.  Longer entries, 
approximately 5,000 words in length, will cover broad 
survey topics. All entries will be signed and all 
authors noted on the contributor's page. 
 
Authors willing to contribute 5,000 words or more will 
receive a complimentary copy of the reference work 
after publication. Authors of the longer survey 
entries will receive a small honorarium. 
 
If you are interested please let me know and I will 
forward a list of the entries to you.  Your prompt 
attention to the list will ensure the selection of 
topics within your area of interest.  All topics will 
be assigned on a first come basis. 
 
I would also appreciate your assistance in passing 
this information on to other faculty members in the 
profession who would be interested in this project or 
have students who may be interested. 
 
I trust you will be willing to contribute to this 
endeavor and appreciate your prompt reply. 
 
Best regards,
