CALL FOR PAPERS 
 
Session on History of Economic Thought at the 
 
FOURTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR HETERODOX ECONOMICS 
 
9-10 July 2002, Dublin, Republic of Ireland 
 
Session title: 'Collective and individual rationality in the history of 
economic thought' 
 
There will be a session on the History of Economic Thought at the fourth 
Annual Conference of the Association of Heterodox Economics, to be held in 
Dublin on Tuesday and Wednesday 9-10 July 2002.  If you would like to give 
a paper on any aspect of the History of Economic Thought at the conference, 
please send me (details below) an abstract by the end of January 2002.  The 
session will have the theme - 'Collective and individual rationality in the 
history of economic thought' - and papers which explicitly address this 
theme will be given preference. 
 
Collective and individual rationality in the history of economic thought 
 
'What, if any, is the legitimate rôle of the state in the economy?'  That 
is a fundamental question - perhaps THE fundamental question - for 
economics. How do (micro level) agent interests and behaviours interact to 
generate (macro level) social outcomes?  Are those outcomes desirable, or 
should society as a whole, in the form of the state, intervene to modify 
them?  How has the articulation between micro and macro levels in 
economics, between individual actions and social outcomes, between 
individual and collective rationality, been theorised in economics.  Papers 
are invited which investigate these questions, exploring the answers that 
have been given by economic thinkers.  Further information may be obtained 
from me, Andy Denis ([log in to unmask]). 
 
Please send your abstract to me, Andy Denis ([log in to unmask]) and 
copy to Avis Lexton ([log in to unmask]) by end January 2002.  Postal 
addresses: Andy Denis, Department of Economics, School of Social and Human 
Sciences, The City University, London, United Kingdom, EC1V 0HB (fax: +44 
(0)20-7040 8580);  Avis Lexton, Faculty of Social Sciences, The Open 
University, Walton Hall, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom, MK7 6AA.
