CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS


CONFERENCE ON THE HISTORY OF HETERODOX ECONOMICS

IN THE 20TH CENTURY

3-5 October 2002							Linda Hall Library
									Kansas City, Missouri

The typical picture of economics in the 20th Century is one of continuity-pluralism-homogeneity.  There is however, another history that no one wants to talk about-a history of repression, discrimination, and unacceptable dissent groups.  This conference examines this other history by challenging the accepted view.  The theme of the conference is that economics in the 20th Century has been a contested discipline and there is a heterodox economics and it has a history.  Come hear papers about the forbidden world of heterodox economics and participate in the discussion.  Topics covered at the conference include:

Department histories:  Texas, Michigan State, New School, Oklahoma, Manitoba, Utah
Associational histories
Marxism and radical economics
Teaching heterodox economics
Heterodox economists:  Henry George, Barbara Wootton
Heretical economics and economic policy
Heterodox economics, pluralism, and mainstream economics


Speakers include:  David Hamilton, Allan Schmid, John King, Jean Shackelford, Susan Feiner, Frances Hutchinson, Rob Garnett, Clark Everling, Mathew Forstater, W. Robert Brazelton, Malcolm Rutherford, Ronnie Phillips
