Patinkin Conference 
Centre Walras-Pareto 
University of Lausanne, 20-22 September 2001 
 
 
On the initiative of Pascal Bridel (Universite de Lausanne) and Michel De 
Vroey (Universite catholique de Louvain), the Centre Walras-Pareto of the 
University of Lausanne is organising a Conference on Don Patinkin. As the 
author of Money, Interest and Prices and many other books and articles, 
Professor Patinkin is one of the most influential post World-War theorists. 
The organisers' motivation lies in their admiration for Patinkin's work and 
their perception of the important role he played in the unfolding of modern 
economic theory. The aim of the conference is to assess Patinkin's role and 
place in the unfolding of modern economic theory. Time has come for a 
critical assessment of his work. 
 
PROGRAMME 
 
There will be four sessions devoted respectively to Patinkin and Monetary 
Theory, Patinkin as an Historian of Economics and Patinkin and Keynesian 
Theory (two sessions).
