----------------- HES POSTING ----------------- [Those interested in the following should contact the editor directly at [log in to unmask] -- RBE] The History of U.S. Economic Policy, 1600s-2000 The History of U.S. Economic Policy is a unique, comprehensive reference work designed to assist scholars, students, and the general public in understanding a complex subject. The key role that the formation and implementation of economic policy has played in American history can be traced back to the mercantilist system and continues to the present. The strength of the economy often determines the outcome of presidential races. Economic policies impact all areas of American life such as the environment, race relations, immigration, banking, business, the music industry, and foreign policy. This two-volume, illustrated reference work, scheduled for publication by ABC-CLIO in 2002, will focus on the individuals, events, and legislation connected with the development of economic policy. Longer entries, approximately 5,000 words in length, will cover broad survey topics. All entries will be signed and all authors noted on the contributor's page. Authors willing to contribute 5,000 words or more will receive a complimentary copy of the reference work after publication. Authors of the longer survey entries will receive a small honorarium. If you are interested please let me know and I will forward a list of the entries to you. Your prompt attention to the list will ensure the selection of topics within your area of interest. All topics will be assigned on a first come basis. I would also appreciate your assistance in passing this information on to other faculty members in the profession who would be interested in this project or have students who may be interested. I trust you will be willing to contribute to this endeavor and appreciate your prompt reply.
