The 11th annual Summer Institute for the Preservation of the History
of Economics will be held at the University of Richmond, June 20-23rd,
2010.  The Institute offers a forum for graduate students and
distinguished scholars to present work in progress or more polished
papers to a lively audience. Our mission is to help young scholars
connect in a workshop setting with young and eminent scholars in the
field.  Past speakers include Brad Bateman, Mauro Boianovsky, Marcel
Boumans, James Buchanan, Dave Colander, Evelyn Forget, Dan Hammond,
Samuel Hollander, Kevin Hoover, M. Ali Khan, Anthony Laden, David
Levy, Deirdre McCloskey, Steve Medema, Phil Mirowski, Leon Montes,
Mary Morgan, Maria Pia Paganelli, Sandra Peart,  Malcolm Rutherford,
Warren Samuels, Eric Schliesser, Gordon Tullock, Anthony Waterman, and
Roy Weintraub.

For the 2010 session, we invite proposals on any topic. We are always
looking for new participants and invite recommendations and
submissions from any and all interested parties. With participation by
Steven Durlauf and Ali Khan, we anticipate organizing a session on the
state of economic science in the light of the recent financial crisis.
Papers on the concerns of Henry Simons and the Ordo Liberal school
about the stability of capitalism would be of particular interest. It
will be, one might note, the 100th anniversary of the publication of
Wicksteed's Common Sense of Political Economy.

As in past years, we anticipate that the Institute will be supported
by funding for modest honoraria. Participation by upper-level
undergraduate and graduate students in economics or related
disciplines will also be  encouraged. The History of Economics Society
assists with conference expenses for students. Conference events
include good coffee (we aim to improve) and continental breakfasts,
lunches, as well as one or two working dinners. Details about travel,
housing and other matters will be posted early in 2010.
