EUROPEAN SOCIETY FOR THE HISTORY OF ECONOMIC THOUGHT
Third Annual Conference
Palacio de Pineda, Valencia (Spain) February, 26th - 28th 1999
National Traditions in Economic Thought and the Diffusion of Ideas
ABRIDGED PROGRAM
| |
The European Society for the History of Economic Thought, founded in December 1995, is composed of many of the best specialists in economic theory, history of economic ideas and economic methodology. The Society celebrates a scientific Conference annually -as in Marseilles (1997) and Bologna (1998)- where a wide number of selected papers is presented and discussed. These communications are the results of current investigations by members and also non-members of the Society.
The Third Annual Conference of ESHET includes the participation of internationally acknowledged authorities in two plenary sessions (A.W. Coats, K. Rothschild) and three debate sessions (J.S. Chipman, S. Hollander and M. Morgan), as well as the General Meeting.
The six series of parallel sessions are structured in thematic and open subjects. The thematic part focusses on “National traditions in economic thought and the diffusion of ideas”: from pluralist methodologies and diverse points of view, some sixty papers discuss the existence, peculiarities and evolution of intellectual styles and traditions in countries or geographic and linguistic areas. They also analyze the important but complex mechanisms in the international spread of economic knowledge. The open part consists of another fifty contributions on different fields of the analytical and intellectual history of economic ideas, and of its relationship with other sciences and policy-making.
