This is to ask for your help in identifying bright upperclass undergraduates or graduate students with an interest in the History of Economic Ideas. The Summer Institute for the Preservation of the History of Economic Thought, now in its 7th year, offers a week of lively discussion, unusual topics and good research. Participation is free and open to all. The institute will be held at George Mason University, July 10-15, 2006. This year, thanks to the generosity of the History of Economics Society and George Mason University, we are pleased that we can support the participation of up to seven students with up to $500 each. Please let your students know about this opportunity and have them email me within the next 3 weeks if they are interested in obtaining support. If you know of any particularly good prospects, please email me so that I may contact them (speart@bw.edu).
