International Keynes Conference*
The World Economy and Keynes: Past and Present
September 6 (afternoon) and 7
Sano Shoin,
Hitotsubashi University
The main purpose of this conference is to deepen our understanding of the
world economy (past and present) in relation to Keynes’s influence and
Keynesianism, which have been influential from the early 1920s up to the
present day. It will be discussed in terms of the history of economic thought
and economic theory/policy. We will sincerely welcome the collaboration between
the two fields of economics.
This conference is composed of
two areas.
(i) The world
economy: past and present.
(ii)
Keynes’s influences from various points of view such as history, and economics.
In this
conference, economists with diverse backgrounds are invited to contribute
his/her paper. We are sure that this project should be a great opportunity to
study, examine, and discuss the above themes.
