Announcement
The International Confederation of Associations
for Pluralism in Economics (ICAPE) announces its
second international conference:
Economic Pluralism for the 21st Century
June 1-3, 2007
University of Utah (Salt Lake City, Utah, USA)
In the second half of the 20th century,
neoclassical economics and its derivatives came
to dominate
economic thinking, teaching and policymaking.
Humanity is increasingly feeling the consequences
of this blinkered vision: the ever-widening gap
between the very rich and all the rest, and
between
developed and underdeveloped nations;
globalization without global coordination for the
common good;
and economically induced climate change, with the
mid-century prospect of an Earth unable to support
even current levels of human population.
Meta-externalities from economic systems are
draining the
resources on which they depend, from families and
other institutions that educate and socialize
human
beings, to water, air, soil, and the diversity of species.
In a positive vein, economics in the 21st century
has already taken a decidedly pluralist turn,
spurred
in part by the struggles of economists –
mainstream and heterodox – to increase the
relevance of
economic theory, policy, and education in a
changing and challenged world where no single
theoretical
tradition or institutional structure can
reasonably claim to hold “the key” to human
betterment.
ICAPE and the organizers of “Economic Pluralism
for the 21st Century” invite proposals for papers
that
discuss or demonstrate the value of economic
pluralism in any of its domains: economic theory
and
philosophy, economic institutions and policies, or economic education.
Panels will be organized around thematic topics,
with an eye to encouraging dialogue among authors
whose papers address similar issues from
different points of view. In this fashion, we
hope to promote
critical engagement and mutual learning among conference participants.
