================= 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: Ross Emmett <[log in to unmask]> Esther-Mirjam Sent <[log in to unmask]> Bert Barreto <[log in to unmask]>.
