Revival of HET Website - announcement Dear friends, I am pleased to announce that the History of Economic Thought Website is back. I am thankful for the assistance of the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET), which has supported its revival and made it possible. As many of you may know, the HET Website was constructed by myself (Gonçalo Fonseca) in a burst of youthful energy, oh lord, many years ago now. It was hosted for a long time on a faculty server at the New School for Social Research. It subsequently jumped around through other servers, and then went down for a while. Well, now it is back again, at a new URL address: http://www.hetwebsite.net/het/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__cp.mcafee.com_d_FZsS938Qd39J5xNBZ5csCqejtPqqabXaaabW9J6XzzBS3hOUCrjhhvphhhvjdETss76zBWXZPqJr7X4G2AjhOyqepmVsSyqekjhPaTbCTzhPXx1As-5FR-2Djv73DQXZuVt5MQsEY-5FtVdN5XBHFShhlLt-5FBgY-2DF6lK1FJ4SCrLP9EVd78V-2DWdSn3tPo08DYM1kBf-2D1K4-5FDxKFy7NbQ9RY55GNaJZrjqbBXTdCBIo2Uo6ziWq8124aJMJWLMCq8aKCy2fBO4EP9Cy2HFEwCjYQg1ul9Rymd45njh0dmH2GIH6y04AWJAisPh00LAaiDVEwd51fVw2FavY3jhjNIQsFCP3x5cENEkQyz&d=CwMGaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=LV9b7BpB8vYMb92ZYZuMUHKBv0EmFTMS2VnsSP9w9nM&m=svwFo_R6C8geczrmwu8lxP5v5AXrbGoUFRakBjRYokc&s=JvNwTWRRL7_R7qYchNo-1yUNBckj3Gs1ikAuJ0REzgw&e=> The HET website will be here for a while, so you can update your bookmarks. While it has been considerably revamped, its mission remains the same. The HET website is a repository of collected links and information on the history of economic thought, from the ancient times until the modern day. It is designed for students and the general public, who are interested in learning about economics from a historical perspective. The HET website it not an online textbook nor a reference encyclopedia. I like to think of it as a "link tank", pointing students and researchers to online resources on economic theory. I have just organized these links in a manner which is both entertaining and educational. The material is organized through three main navigation channels: (1) via an Alphabetical Index of individual economist profiles, (2) via Schools of Thought (loosely defined) and (3) via a series of Essays and Surveys on specific topics. When I originally set it up, the available resources online for HET material were relatively scarce, with a few invaluable depositories, such as the McMaster Archive set up by Roderick Hay. Online materials have greatly expanded since, with Googlebooks, Archive.org, Gallica, etc. The new version of the HET Website incorporates materials from these new sources. I am still in the process of reviewing and revising every page and checking that every link works, that deprected links are updated or removed, and new links added. It is still an on-going process, and some stray old links have yet to be fixed, so I ask for patience. As always, I have maintained a strict policy of linking only to online resources which are freely available to everyone, academic and non-academic. I do not link to works behind paywalls or institutional restrictions, nor to commercial sites, nor sites requiring complicated registrations, etc. However, it has come to my attention (a little too late) that some online archives have different IP-restrictions depending on country. Notably Googlebooks seems to treat different parts of the world differently, so that books that are available to Americans may not be viewable to Europeans (it seems they have a 1872 memory barrier for European IPs, but a 1924 barrier for US IPs and a 1885 barrier for Canadian IPs). The HET Website was created in the US and is optimized for US IPs, and as a result some non-US viewers may experience some frustratation. Nonetheless, rest assured that if the link is here, then the book or article is freely available to American IPs, and can be accessed by virtual network. Also keep in mind that most of Googlebooks is now mirrored by Archive.org, which doesn't seem to have country restrictions. We have begun (belatedly) to link to these. But in the meantime, if you end up in a dead end on Googleboooks, look up the same title on Archive.org, and it is almost certain to be available there. Rather than give preference to a particular online source, and swamp you with seas of blue, I have decided to pile the links to all the online versions available via "codes" at the end of the title. e.g. - [bk] (or sometimes a page or volume number) refers to Googlebooks. - [av] - Archive.org - [bnf] - Gallica, at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France - [js] - Jstor (note: I only link to the pre-1920 articles that they make publicly available) - [McM] - Rod Hay's McMaster archive - [bris] - Tony Brewer's Bristol site - [taieb] - Paulette Taieb's website - [lib] - Library of Economics and Liberty at LibertyFund - [mia] - Marxists Internet Archive - [mis] - Mises Institute - [moa] - Making of America database at Cornell & Michigan - [eebo] - Early English books online at Michigan - [hth] - Hathi Trust - [cwls] - Cowles foundation papers - [nber] - NBER papers archive - [het] - a text we host ourselves and so on. This way better maximizes sources for an article or book (in case you have a preference for one format or another). For the sake of scholars, I have made the extra effort to track down the original facsimile version of an article or book. Where a book has multiple editions, I have tried to find links to every edition available. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the new HET website. There are now over 1,000 economist profiles, 100 schools of thought and some 50+ surveys of topics with links to tens of thousands of online books and articles. There is much more to come which is in the process of being completed, so keep checking back. Once again, I'd like to thank the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) for the support they have given to make this revival possible. Best regards, Gonçalo L.
