Andy Denis Economics Department, The City University, London My home page: http://www.city.ac.uk/andy CALL FOR PAPERS Session on History of Economic Thought at the FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR HETERODOX ECONOMICS 9-10 July 2002, Dublin, Republic of Ireland Session title: 'Collective and individual rationality in the history of economic thought' There will be a session on the History of Economic Thought at the fourth Annual Conference of the Association of Heterodox Economics, to be held in Dublin on Tuesday and Wednesday 9-10 July 2002. If you would like to give a paper on any aspect of the History of Economic Thought at the conference, please send me (details below) an abstract by the end of January 2002. The session will have the theme - 'Collective and individual rationality in the history of economic thought' - and papers which explicitly address this theme will be given preference. Collective and individual rationality in the history of economic thought 'What, if any, is the legitimate rôle of the state in the economy?' That is a fundamental question - perhaps THE fundamental question - for economics. How do (micro level) agent interests and behaviours interact to generate (macro level) social outcomes? Are those outcomes desirable, or should society as a whole, in the form of the state, intervene to modify them? How has the articulation between micro and macro levels in economics, between individual actions and social outcomes, between individual and collective rationality, been theorised in economics. Papers are invited which investigate these questions, exploring the answers that have been given by economic thinkers. Further information may be obtained from me, Andy Denis (andy.denis@city.ac.uk). Please send your abstract to me, Andy Denis (andy.denis@city.ac.uk) and copy to Avis Lexton (A.Lexton@open.ac.uk) by end January 2002.
