[Robert Whaples]

At the Social Science History Association Annual Meeting, held in 
Chicago, Illinois on November 15-18, 2007, a session was held that 
was dedicated to Gregory Clark's _A Farewell to Alms: A Brief 
Economic History of the World_. A transcript of remarks from the 
session, taped by David Hacker and transcribed by Susan Wolcott, 
includes commentary by Joel Mokyr (Northwestern), George Grantham 
(McGill University), Jack Goldstone (George Mason), and Deirdre 
McCloskey (University of Illinois, Chicago) and is now available on 
EH.Net, as well as a response by Clark, "'Survival of the 
Richest' in the Pre-industrial World and Modern Human Nature." We 
invite you to read both pieces at http://www.eh.net, as well as 
Robert A. Margo's review of the book for EH.Net Review at
