"INSTITUTIONALISM VERSUS MARXISM: PERSPECTIVES FOR SOCIAL SCIENCE" 
 
A Public Debate

Professor Geoff Hodgson (University of Hertfordshire) 
 
6.00pm, Monday 30 April 2001 
Fielder Centre, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, Herts., UK 
Everyone Welcome. No charge. 
 
This debate between two leading thinkers will address some of the most 
important and critical problems in social science today. Does Marxism offer 
a viable theoretical alternative for the twenty-first century? Does 
institutionalism offer a superior theoretical approach? 
 
Alex Callinicos is the author of "Equality" (2000), "Social Theory: A 
Historical Introduction" (1999), "Against Post-Modernism" (1988) and many 
other works. 
 
Geoff Hodgson is the author of, for example, "How Economics Forgot History" 
(2001), "Economics and Utopia" (1999), and "Evolution and Institutions". 
 
This public debate is organised by the Centre for Research in Institutional 
Economics at the University of Hertfordshire. 
 
The Fielder Centre is about one mile from Hatfield Railway Station. There 
are fast trains taking about 30 minutes from the centre of London.
