International Conference
on
Keynes’s Influence on Modern Economics
― The Keynesian Revolution Reassessed
The main purpose of this conference is to deepen and widen our understanding of the present situation in which economics is put and ask where economics is going, in terms of Keynes’s influence and Keynesianism which have been remarkable from the early 1920s up to the present, from the points of view of history of economic thought, and economic theory/policy.
In this conference economists with diverse backgrounds are invited to address Keynesian Legacy and Modern Economics and read his/her paper.
We consider that this is a passing point for studying, examining and clarifying the above theme rather than an once-and-for-all conference. We also declare that this major message will be pursued further on the basis on international cooperation.
