===================== HES POSTING ======================= Dear HESers: We are pleased to announce the continuation of a popular feature on HES -- the monthly guest editorials! HES guest editorials are short provocative essays written to stimulate discussion on 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 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 each guest editorial. 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 of the 1997-98 academic year, by Anthony Brewer, will follow this message shortly. 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]) Bert Barreto ([log in to unmask]) Paul Wendt ([log in to unmask]) Ross B.
