================= HES POSTING ================= 
 
Dear HESers: 
 
We are pleased to announce a new feature on HES: monthly guest editorials! 
 
The editorials will be short provocative essays written to stimulate 
discussion on new topics of interest to historians of economics.  Some of 
the topics discussed will suggest new lines of research, others will 
address old issues in new ways. We also intend to invite editorials that 
provide historians of economics greater familiarity with the creation of 
Internet resources in the history of economics. 
 
We encourage you to respond to the editorials by posting a message to the 
list.The discussion about each editorial will be archived both in the HES 
list archives and via a separate web site for the guest editorials. The 
latter site will be especially useful for instructors who wish to assign 
the editorials for classroom reading -- students will have access to the 
editorials, the conversation emerging from them, and related links. 
 
The first editorial, by Roy Weintraub, will be posted on Monday, September 
9. Subsequent editorials will be posted near the beginning of each month 
throughout the academic year. 
 
We invite you to nominate individuals to write editorials (including 
yourself!), and/or to suggest topics. You can respond privately to any of 
the editors of HES:
