CALL FOR PAPERS
Economic analysis and political economy in the thought of F.A. Hayek
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of F.A. Hayek, the
Association of Historians of the Austrian Economic Tradition (AHTEA)
organizes a conference in Paris from 27-29 May 1999. The conference will
be devoted to the relationship between economic analysis and political
economy in Hayek's thought.
Hayek's work in economics extends over more than half a century, and
covers most of the major fields of the discipline. Some of Hayek's
contributions to economics are purely analytical, others are inspired by a
broader vision that one may characterize as "political economy" in the
18th-century sense of the term. The conference intends to examine the
relationship between these two components of Hayek's thought. Can this
link be found in all of Hayek's publications, or is it necessary, for
example, to distinguish between the young Hayek who devoted himself to
economic analysis, and the mature Hayek whose concern it is to unfold the
principles of liberalism? More generally, is Hayek's liberalism founded on
a value judgment that is independent from his investigations in positive
economics, or is his work an attempt to found liberalism on economic
theory? These and related issues will be discussed in their relationship
with the various currents of thought in the Austrian tradition.
Proposals for papers (500-1000 words) should be submitted before November
15th 1998, specifying the original contribution of the paper, and its
relationship to the theme of the conference.
Papers that have been accepted by the scientific committee should reach
the organizers no later than March 1st 1999.
