The Society for the Development of Austrian Economics is happy to 
announce the creation of a new scholarly listserv dedicated to the 
discussion of Austrian economics:


The AustrianEcon listserv is a scholarly discussion list sponsored by 
the Society for the Development of Austrian Economics (SDAE).  It is 
devoted to the ideas of the Austrian school of economics and related 
contributions to the understanding of human action and its 
consequences.  We aim for as broad a discussion as possible across any 
disciplines or schools of thought that relate to Austrian economics.  It 
must be emphasized that the listserv is not a forum for political 
discussion except to the degree that such issues have a direct 
connection to the scholarly contributions of the Austrian school both 
past and present.

Membership in the list is subject to the approval of the list manager.  
Membership will be limited to those affiliated with universities, 
think-tanks, or other scholarly/intellectual organizations.  Exceptions 
for those not so affiliated will be granted on a case-by-case basis at 
the discretion of the list manager.  SDAE members are automatically 
eligible for membership.  You can join the Society at 
http://it.stlawu.edu/sdae .  You can request to join the list by 
emailing the list manager Steve Horwitz at [log in to unmask] .

We strongly encourage members to use the list as a vehicle for the 
dissemination of their current scholarship.  In particular, discussion 
of working papers is a very valuable use of the listserv.  Any members 
wishing to make a paper available for discussion should contact the list 
manager and the paper will be posed at the SDAE website for list members 
to access.  Austrian analyses of current contributions to the mainstream 
economics literature are also strongly encouraged as is discussion of 
current work in related disciplines (e.g., evolutionary psychology, 
political science, history, etc.) or traditions in economics (e.g., 
constitutional political economy, public choice, or various heterodox 
schools etc.) of which members might be less aware.

AustrianEcon is a _moderated_ listserv.  All messages require approval 
of the list manager.
