A recent posting on Pen-L noted that a group of economists is now seeking to put out a new edition of Historical Statistics of the United States and that they are asking for input about content, scope, and format for this volume. (I assume a new edition of this volume will be as heavily used as the current edition). I think that this is an excellent occasion for left economists to try to have input on what the "appropriate" soical/economic data is for such a volume. There is some data that is more of interest to left economists than to mainstream economists. Such data will only appear, however, if left economists make known their interest in seeing such data in this volume.
