With much delay but hopefully still of interest, here are the 2005  
anniversaries I managed to track down:  
 
300 years ago, John Law (1671-1729) published _Money and Trade Considered  
with a Proposal for Supplying the Nation with Money_ (1705). And supplying= 
  
the nation with money he did, 11 years later when he got a chance the  
implement his idea in France. Also in 1705 Bernard de Mandeville  
(1670-1733) published _The Grumbling Hive: Or Knaves Turn'd Honest_ which  
he later extended to his _Fable of the Bees_ (1714). 
 
250 years ago, German cameralist Johann Heinrich Gottlob von Justi  
(1717-1771) published _Staatswirtschaft, oder systematische Abhandlung  
aller =C3=83=C2=B6konomischen und Kameralwirtschaften, die zur Regierung= 
 eines Landes  
erfordert werden_ (1755). The same year also saw the publications of  
Francis Hutcheson's (1694-1746) _System of Moral Philosophy_ and of  
Richard Cantillon's (1680-1734) _Essay on the Nature of Commerce in  
General_ (posthumously). 
 
200 years ago, in 1805, the bullionist debate was on the way, with Henry  
Brooke Parnell (1776-1842) publishing _The Principles of Currency and  
Exchange_ and James K. Maitland, Earl of Lauderdale, (1759-1839)  
publishing some _Thoughts on the Alarming State of the Circulation_.  
Meanwhile, Charles Hall (c. 1740-1820) anticipated Marxist ideas in _The  
Effects of Civilization on the People in European States_. 
 
150 years ago, the early English historicist Richard Jones (1790-1855)  
died while the German "pre-neoclassical" economist Hans Karl Emil von  
Mangoldt (1824-68) published _Die Lehre vom Unternehmergewinn_ (The theory= 
  
of entrepreneurial profit, 1855). 
 
100 years ago, Juglar Clement (1819-1905) died, while Heinrich von  
Stackelberg (1905-1946), William John Fellner (1905-1983) and Richard F.  
Kahn (1905-1989) were born. The same year, 1905, saw the publication of

Peace_,  Georg Friedrich Knapp's (1842-1926) _Staatliche Theorie des  
Geldes_ (The State Theory of Money), Karl Marx's _Theorien =C3=83=C2=BCber= 
 den  
Mehrwert_ (Theories of Surplus Value, published by Karl Kautsky), and Max  
Weber's (1864-1920) _Die protestantische Ethik und der Geist des  
Kapitalismus_ (The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism). 
 
75 years ago, Silvio Gesell (1862-1930), Karl B=C3=83=C2=BCcher (1847-1930)=

P. Ramsey (1903-1930) died. Irving Fisher (1867-1947) published _The  
Theory of Interest_, John Maynard Keynes (1883-1946) _A Treatise on  
Money_, Gunnar K. Myrdal (1898-1987) _The Political Element in the

50 years ago, the Cowles Commission moved to form the University Chicago to= 
  
Yale University and James Tobin took over as director of the renamed  
Cowles Foundation. In the same year, in 1955, Lawrence Klein (b. 1920)  
published the first econometric model of the US, _An Econometric Model of  
the United States, 1929-1952_ (with A.S. Goldberger), which contributed to=

died, and Lawrence R. Klein received the Noble Memorial Prize "for the  
creation of econometric models and the application to the analysis of  
economic fluctuations and economic policies."
