Dear comrades,

here below you find the programme of a conference I am organising
for my Department. The conference is dedicated to the economic legacy of
Hyman Minsky, and it will be held the 10th and 11th of December.

In a few days I'll put a page on the web server of my University,
http://www.unibg.it, where under the heading "Convegni" you will also find
other information about the conference, as the abstracts.

I am unable to send the papers to anybody (the proceedings will
however be published by Edward Elgar in a volume edited by me and by Piero
Ferri). Those who will come to the conference are suggested to send a
message to me and reserve the papers, since the photocopies will be made
relative to the expected number of participants.

I thank you in advance for your help in spreading the information
about the conference.
