6th International Keynes Conference
6th International Keynes Conference
The World Economic Crisis and Keynes
Manifesto of the Transformation
The main purpose of this conference is to investigate whether the capitalistic economy is moving, by critically examining the period of great upheaval from the viewpoints of economic theory, economic policy and social philosophy.
The key phrase underlying this conference is "Manifesto of Transformation", which implies the defeat and failure of what has been prevalent over the past thirty years, and the emergence of the modern version of the "Keynes-Beveridge" system. We have invited distinguished scholars from all over the world for this conference.
Incidentally we have been able to publish a book which absolutely comes from several Keynes conference so far held: The Return to Keynes, ed. by B. Bateman, T. Hirai and M.C. Marcuzzo, Harvard University Press, 2010. It is now easily available at Amazon. The Book Review Session on Day 1 is for this book.
Those scholars and graduates who would like to participate in it are most welcome, although it is required to send an e-mail as the capacity for the venue is limited.
