honor, there is a stipend of $500 plus travel expenses up to $500 to
attend the presentation at the HES annual conference.
Selection Process
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 2007 - 31 December 2008). 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, 2008.
