“New
Economics” was the
name given by a handful
of Professors of economics in the late 70s to their approach of social
phenomena. They chose that name in order to stress their opposition to
what was
then the dominant approach: the centralized, macroeconomic regulation
of the
economy.
But
they did not stop at criticizing the ongoing
governmental policies; the goal of their meetings was also to share
their
efforts to reach a better understanding of those phenomena and
consequently to
suggest the appropriate reforms. It is with the same spirit of
scientific
excellence that we wish to look this year at the past and future of
Europe.
Registration and more details are coming soon.
