======================= HES POSTING ================== Dear HESers: Following this posting you will receive the second in the 1997-98 series of "monthly" guest editorials for HES. While posted by Ross Emmett, it comes from Flavio Comim at Cambridge University, and discusses "Common Sense Economics." We are pleased to bring this editorial to you in part because it represents our first effort at making research related to a new dissertation in the history of economic thought available to HES subscribers. The HES editors encourage you to respond to the issues that are discussed in the editorial. You can post a response by replying to the message (just check to make sure that the address to which you are sending the message is [log in to unmask]) or by sending a new message to [log in to unmask] If your message bears the same heading as the editorial (or has the addition "Re:"), it will be archived with the other responses. We hope the discussion of this editorial will be as lively as those that followed the other editorials. The editorial, the conversation emerging from it, and other relevant links will be posted to the HES Web site at: http://www.eh.net/HisEcSoc/Resources/Editorials/Comim/ (Or, start at the HES home-page http://www.eh.net/HisEcSoc/, click on "Other Resources," then click on "Monthly Guest Editorials for HES," and finally click on "Editorial Flavio Comim".) The editorial and subsequent responses may be forwarded to other lists and/or used in classroom settings without requesting permission. For publication purposes, however, the author of each message (the editorial or any responses) used must be contacted for permission.
