Thanks to all paticipants
The organizing committee would like to thank all participants, paper presenters, keynote speakers and not least our sponsors for your contribution to the 5th "Dijon" Post-keynesian conference.
The conference was a great opportunity to discuss the consequences of the crisis, the impact after 75 years of "The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money" and how to teach Post-keynesian economics.
We hope everyone enjoyed the conference.
For paper presenters you can find information below, about the deadline for publication submission.
KIEnet is proud to announce:
The Post-Keynesian conference
13-14th of May, 2011
Roskilde University, Denmark
Keynes made an optimistic statement in a letter to George Bernard Shaw, dated January 1935:
"..that I am going to revolutionize the way we think about economics not immediately, but within the coming 10 years."
75 years on, we can see that Keynes was much too optimistic. Keynes’s approach has not penetrated the way mainstream textbooks present macroeconomic issues. The theoretical debates and the economic policies undertaken during the actual macroeconomic crises in Europe and in America have demonstrated that Keynes’s macroeconomic methodology has not (yet?) been understood. What are the obstacles – method, theory, politics and/or teaching?
These are some of the main themes for the Post-Keynesian conference at Roskilde University. Read more about the conference via the links below.
