Colleagues, Those of you who might be attending the Southern Economic Association meetings in Charleston next weekend are cordially invited to join us at the annual dinner and business meeting of the Society for the Development of Austrian Economics. On Sunday Nov. 19th, from 6-10-pm, we will be gathering in the Palmetto Garden Room of the Charleston Place hotel. We'll have a cash bar from 6-7pm, followed by dinner and our program. In addition to our usual business, including the presentations of the Smith-FEE prizes for best book and article in Austrian economics and the recognition of the Lavoie Graduate Student Essay Competition winners, we will also have Sandy Ikeda's presidential address and we will be honoring Israel Kirzner with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Israel will make a few remarks. The menu includes salad, dessert, coffee/tea as well as wine. We have three choices of entree this year: Grilled Atlantic Salmon with soba noodles, baby bok choy, shitake mushrooms and miso broth Baked Breast of Chicken with Israeli cous-cous, pine nuts, arugula, and yellow pepper coulis Petite Filet of Beef with scallions, mushrooms, and black pepper Cabernet glace The cost is $90 (which includes the wine) with grad students at half price. Checks or cash at the door are fine. If you plan to attend and have yet to RSVP, please reply to this email by the close of business Monday if at all possible and let Peter Lewin and I know that you are coming and your menu choice. The SDAE is also sponsoring 12 panels at the meetings, a number of which have HES members participating or history of economic thought papers being presented. HES members are more than welcome to join us at those sessions. Thanks and we hope to see you in Charleston. Steve Horwitz
