The 11th annual Summer Institute for the Preservation of the History of Economics was held at the University of Richmond, June 20-23, 2010.
The Institute offered a forum for distinguished scholars and graduate students to present work in progress or more polished papers to a lively audience.
As in past years, the Institute was supported by funding that covered honoraria for speakers and presenters. Participation by upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in economics or related disciplines was also encouraged.
