SEARCH FOR A NEW EDITOR FOR JHET 
 
The present editor of The Journal of the History of Economic Thought, 
Professor Donald Walker, has tendered his resignation.  The President of the 
HES has established a search committee consisting of Malcolm Rutherford 
(chair), Bradley Bateman, and Philip Mirowski.  The committee is seeking 
expressions of interest in the editorship of JHET from individuals or teams. 
Proposals for single editorships, joint editorships, or arrangements 
involving associate editors will all be considered.  The editor need not be 
located in North America. Given the very tight time frame some interim 
arrangement may have to be made. 
 
JHET is now published for the HES by Carfax and begining in 1998 will be 
producing four issues a year. 
 
The present editor will deal with all 1998 issues of the journal but needs 
to shift editorial responsibility for the 1999 issues.  The copy for the 
first (March) issue of 1999 is due at CARFAX by November 12 1998.  A new 
editor needs to be in position to take over the materials in process and 
receive new submissions no later than August 1 1998.   
 
Carfax pays the editor an annual amount to help defray costs, but the actual 
costs of operating the editor's office are greater and the Society would 
hope to be able to locate the journal at an institution that is willing to 
supply a modest subsidy to the operation.  More information concerning the 
journal and the arrangements with Carfax can be obtained from Malcolm 
Rutherford at [log in to unmask] and from Donald Walker at

The normal editorial term is five years and is renewable by the executive 
committee of the HES.  The editor of JHET is a non-voting member of the 
executive committee of the HES and is expected to report to the executive at 
the winter and annual meetings, and to the membership at the annual business 
meeting. 
 
Expressions of interest should be sent to Malcolm Rutherford to be received 
no later than APRIL 20 1998.  At this point the expressions of interest can 
be preliminary in nature and subject to further information and discussion.
