The Economic Conversation: A First Text.
- By Arjo Klamer (left), Deirdre McCloskey, and Stephen Ziliak
- Palgrave-Macmillan, in press for review, revision, and copyediting, December 2006.
- Forthcoming 2007 or early 2008.
- The book takes a open-handed approach to teaching economics, and stresses that economics is in fact a conversation, in which the students can take part from the beginning. Yet it has all the rigor that a first-year student can absorb.

The Cult of Statistical Significance: How the Standard Error Costs Us Jobs, Justice, and Lives
By Stephen Ziliak (left) and Deirdre McCloskey
- In press for copyediting.
- Forthcoming 2007, University of Michigan Press.
- Ziliak and McCloskey show that statistical signficance, though routine in economics, psychology, medicine, and increasingly in the courts, is nonsense when used alone (as it almost invariably is), and has been known to be nonsense in this partial use since it was invented — often by the very inventors, such as Edgeworth and Gosset (the "Student" of Student's-t).

Books Merely Projected
God and the Ordinary Business of Life: Sermons on a Christian Economics
With Ross B. Emmett
Economie: A Literary Economics
- A brief book, some 150 pages, about the economy in literature and economics in the discourse of literary leftism. It will introduce literary people to a conversation in scientific economics that they stopped attending to in the middle of the 19th century. Topics: "economy" as metaphor in literary studies; the economy as a subject for literary works (e.g. "Hard Times"; Frost on farming; naturalism, as in Zola and Dreiser); left, right, and middle views on how capitalism functions; what happened in economic history (e.g. trade unions are not responsible for the American standard of living); globalization, postcolonialism, and free-market feminism.
The Ordinary Business of Life: What Happened in Economic History
Co-authored with Santhi Hejeebu
- A primer on the useful past, economically viewed. We describe two score episodes of human life from conception to death in their historical context: child's play on the actual history of child labor; university education and the growth of human capital; job mobility in the 13th and 21st centuries; aging now and then; and the like.
- 200 pp. in print.
Reading the Economy:
An Anthology of Literary Works in English from Chaucer to Maya Angelou
Co-edited with Mary Beth Combs and Stephen Ziliak
- Status: sketched.
- Designed for the bed-table of the bourgeois(e) bleared with trade, and for the growing number of courses in English and Economics nationwide, the anthology selects poetry, short stories, plays, literary essays, and chapters of novels re-presenting the economy: Frost's "Two Tramps at Mudtime," for example, or Gaskell on British industrialization, or Miller's "Death of a Salesman." It teaches economic ways of thinking to literary people and opens the literary world to economists and calculators.
- 800 pages.

The Prudent and Faithful Peasant: An Essay on Pre-Modern History
- Using the essays in section 4 above on medieval open fields as a core, showing the workings of prudence modified by other virtues in olden times. It challenges the claim by Marx and Weber that rationality is peculiarly modern and the claim by materialists that religious motives have no grip on the economy.
- 350 pages in MS.
Matters: Economy as Speech

The Success of British Capitalism
