Joseph J. Spengler Best Book Prize Call for Nominations
 
In 2004 the History of Economics Society established the Joseph J. Spengler
Prize for the best book in the history of economics. With the prize there is
a stipend of $500 plus travel expenses up to $500 to attend the presentation
at the Society's annual conference. Eligibility: Original, authored books in
the history of economics published, in English, during the two calendar
years preceding the HES Meeting at which the award is presented (this year,
from 1 January 2009 - 31 December 2010). Scholarly books and monographs are
eligible, as are English-language translations of scholarly books in the
history of economics, but neither textbooks, doctoral dissertations, nor
edited volumes are eligible.
 
Nomination process: Any publisher may nominate one or two books and should
submit a nominating note and four copies of the book for each book
nominated. Any individual, including a book's author, may submit a
nominating note and four copies of the book nominated. Eligible books may be
re-nominated in successive years. (Individual nominators may wish to ask the
nominee's publisher to supply the copies. Before nominating a book
individuals may wish to check with the HES Secretary to ensure that the book
has not already been nominated).
 
To be considered, nominations (and the four book copies) must be received no
later than December 31, 2010. Nominations should be submitted to: Tim
Leonard, Secretary, History of Economics Society, Department of Economics,
Princeton University, Fisher Hall, Princeton, NJ, United States, 08544.
