Fifth Summer Institute for  
the Preservation of the Study of the  
History of Economics in Economics 
 
Call for Participation  
 
The Summer Institute, now in its fifth year, is an attempt to reverse the 
decline in professional interest in the history of economics by offering a 
forum for students, both at George Mason University and elsewhere, to 
present a history of thought chapter of their dissertation to a competent 
audience and a chance for scattered workers in the field to present work in 
progress.  
 
This summer the meetings will be Monday 26 July through Friday 30 July at 
George Mason University in Fairfax VA. Sandra Peart will join David Levy as 
codirector. We invite proposals on any topics. We are attempting to 
organize sessions of two or more papers on the following: Proverbs & 
Experts; Sympathy, Approbation & Imagery; Biological Influences in 
Post-Classical Economics; Robbins & Hayek; and The Dialogue between 
Economics & Theology.  
 
Thanks to the generosity of the Earhart Foundation and the Economics 
Department, participation will be rewarded in vector fashion, money, 
coffee, bagels, pizza &c. There will be at least one evening dinner 
meeting.  
 
Students who wish to attend are encouraged to apply. Last summer we were 
able to assist with travel expenses for all the students who applied. There 
are dorm rooms at George Mason available at remarkably reasonable rates 
which feature truly effective air-conditioning.
