==================== HES POSTING ==================== 1998 marks the 200th anniversary of _An Essay on the Principle of Population_, by T. Robert Malthus (in fact, I believe the Essay was published in June 1798!) and the 150th anniversary of _The Communist Manifesto_, by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. To celebrate these publications, I would like to devote the fall "guest editorials" on the HES list to short essays on Malthus and Marx. In particular, I would be interested in editorials on the following topics, although others can certainly be proposed: Reconsidering Malthus' place in the history of economics _The Communist Manifesto_ in the history of economics _The Communist Manifesto_ today The relation between Malthus and Marx Malthus and evolutionary economics If a schedule of editorials on Marx and Malthus can be arranged, I will post the schedule on the list so that those teaching the history of economic thought in the fall can consider making use of the editorials in their courses. If you are interested in providing a guest editorial on one of these topics (or know someone I can approach about one of these topics) or want to propose another editorial related to Marx and Malthus, please contact Ross Emmett ([log in to unmask]). Guest editorials appear on the HES list approximately once a month during the North American academic year, and and are archived on the HES web site. The expected length of a guest editorial is 1000 words, although several editorials have come closer to 1500 words. Ross B.
